Rynok Square

Reviewed By R1380TWstephenm - Lviv, Ukraine

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.

Odessa National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater

Reviewed By Rambolec - Wroclaw, Poland

Opera massive building impressed me much! It is so beautiful from outside. I liked interiors as well. I'm sure it's "must be" point on the list of every tourist in Odessa. I wanted to see Sleeping Beauty ballet by Tchaikovsky and it was perfect choice. The performance fished with standing ovation. Dancers were simply supermen. And music live was perfect. I would love to come back here one day :-)

Lychakiv Cemetery

Reviewed By 706alastairm

An extraordinary collection of Ukrainian, Polish and German graves, including the final resting places of several notable figures including Ivan Franko. A beautiful and calm place to walk and soak up the atmosphere. Stop at the general store opposite the main gate (behind the flower shop) for drinks on your way in.

The Holy  Dormition Kyiv Caves Lavra

Built by Kiev monks back in 1051, this striking building is the most holy place in the Ukraine. The caves on the property serve as burial grounds for monks.

Reviewed By timfH8872SN - Alpharetta, United States

This is not just a nice old cathedral. This is a HUGE complex of several cathedrals, chapels, dormitories for monks, and CAVES !! It's actually called the Monastery above the caves. It's about 1,000 years old, started by a couple of monks who lived in the caves along the Dnipro river, and it grew into this HUGE monastery complex that will take you ALL DAY to walk around and still only see half of it ! You can even go through tours of the many caves that are under it, where the monks used to live and do whatever monks do. The Cathedrals are ornate beyond belief....the carvings, the gold leaf, the size.....is incredible and breathtaking. I wasn't really excited about going to it, but my friend insisted, and I am very happy I went. It is called the Vatican of Eastern Europe, but I think it is bigger ! You won't believe this place. It is not boring. We saw a wedding being performed, monks walking around, etc. Also, the cafe is nice and a good place to try some authentic Borscht.

Lviv City Hall

Reviewed By markpN6638OX - Ottawa, Canada

If you are in Lviv, you must walk up to the top of the City Hall. Winding your way up the circular staircase, past the clock mechanism, to the observation deck on the top and see the panorama of Lviv surrounding you...it truely is a spectacular view of the valley and also fun to try to point out all the churches and places you have visited.
