Lviv dates back to the 12th century and its center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Rynok, or central square, is the centerpiece of this area. Far from being history frozen in amber, it's a vibrant and beautiful place filled day and night with people. There are several wonderful museums on the Rynok, and it would really be a shame not to climb to the top of the city hall tower to get a commanding view of old Lviv. On one corner of the square is a functioning pharmacy, which also contains a Pharmacy Museum that's a can't miss attraction (be sure to venture downstairs!) Surrounding he Rynok is a ring of restaurants and coffee shops, with a variety of Ukrainian and other cuiines served. At night the Rynok is alive with outdoor dining, street musicians, and the sounds of the brass orchestra at the Pravda Beer Theater, a three story bottle shop and lively restaurant / pub. Just off the Rynok are streets with a wide variety of businesses ranging from the Lviv Handmade Chocolate Company to a Thai street food restaurant.

St. George's Cathedral is a Greek Catholic 18th-century cathedral with rococo yellow facade, housing an icon of the Virgin Mary. During 19th and 20th centuries, the cathedral served as the mother church of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The cathedral reflects both Western influences and the traditions of Ukrainian church construction. She's a beauty- don't miss this opportunity!

The Armenian Cathedral in Lviv was built in 1363-1370. By the way, it was the first cathedral in the city of Lviv, for the Ruthenian Metropolitanate (and cathedral) was located in the tawn of Halych and the Roman Catholic Metropolitanate with the see in Lviv was founded later (first source based information about the building of the Latin cathedral comes from 1399). From the time of its construction there is only one fresco in the Armenian cathedral (of the st. Apostle Judas Thaddaeus) in the niche in the altar part (to your right, when you look towards the main altar), which preserved because for many centuries ist was covered up by a side altar or something like that. Only by the restauration in the 20th century the side altar has been removed and the old fresco behind it discovered. Another interesting thing is a depiction of the 12 Astrological signs, represented in the arcade in the form of corresponding constellations. Very interesting for me was also the representation of the senses, showed in the form of allegorical figures. And a special detail: there are not 5, but 6 senses depicted there, it means that the intuition is added as the 6th one (greetings to all, who like stories about persons with the extrasensory perception). There are also many other interesting and creepy images there, like the figures of the spirits, who follow the burial procession, and so on (all the fans of the Supernatural series will love it).
