Location and Local Attractions

Local transport.
Buses.
The public bus network is not well-developed and the number of lines is limited. A cheap alternative to the public transport are the route cars - small private mini-buses providing transport around the city and the suburbs where usual city buses would not travel. The route cars do not have any fixed stops nor timetables, yet their services are relatively cheap, fast, and efficient. The route cars also run on suburban lines to most towns of the region including the line to Shehyni at the Polish border.
Tramways.
The first tramway lines in the city were opened on May 5, 1880. On May 31, 1894, the last horse-powered line was electrified. In 1922 the tramways were switched to right-hand-side system. After World War II and the annexation of the city by the Soviet Union, several lines were closed for service, yet most of the tramway infrastructure was preserved.
Currently, the Lviv tramway operates approximately 220 cars on 75 kilometres of track. Most of the tracks are in very poor condition, the trams themselves are in fair condition, and can be crowded and packed during rush hours. A simple distance-regardless tariffs system exists in Lviv's public transport: the tickets for ground transport are bought for each entrance into the vehicle.
Trolleybuses.
After the war and the expulsion of the majority of the city's inhabitants, the city started to grow rapidly. This was due to an influx of evacuees returning from Russia at the war's end, and the program of development of heavy industry which was vigorously pursued by the Soviet Government. The latter included, in some cases, transplanting entire factories from the Ural region and other distant places into newly "freed" (acquired) territories of the USSR, including Lviv, the Baltic Republics, and other territories.
The cancelled tramway lines in the city centre were replaced with trolleybuses on November 27, 1952. In the later period new lines were opened for communication with the blocks-of-flats areas at the city outskirts. Currently the trolleybus network runs 200, mostly of the 1960s 14Tr type.
Railway.
Modern Lviv retains its place as a railway hub, with nine railways converging on the city. There are many destinations, both within Ukraine and international. Most cities in Ukraine can be reached from the city's main train station. Due to the proximity of the Polish-Ukrainian border, there are several trains going to Poland (mostly via Przemyśl) for example the luxurious Kyiv-Kraków link. There are good connections to Slovakia (Košice) and also Hungary (Budapest). The trains are slow by western standards, but many of the routes have overnight trains with sleeping compartments. The prices are very cheap by western standards even though Ukraine has doubled the price recently, and a ticket to the western border with Hungary or Slovakia (a distance of several hundred kilometres) will just cost a few euros or dollars.
Airport.
Aside from extensive railway connections, Lviv can be reached by air. The Lviv International Airport (LWO) lies only 6 km from the city center

Lviv city description
Now Lviv becomes more and more popular among tourists from Ukraine and other countries. It is a unique pearl of our country that combines a deep history with all its adorable architecture and modern life.
It was March 2003 when Lviv region adopted first tourism and recreational programs for 2003-2007. This program was worked out by the regional administration's resort and tourism department jointly with the National Academy's Institute for Regional Studies. Then later other programs also appeared, such as National Tourism Development Program, the Resort Business Development Program. Niw the cabinet is working on the development of next resort business priorities program.
It is known that Lviv region was the first to sign a collaboration agreement between regional administration and Tourist State Administration of Ukraine. This region worked out a tourist itinerary marking and coding system that was officially examined, coordinated with the State Committee on Standards and Certification, and is currently recommended all over Ukraine. At present young service specialist are taught in the best fourteen service schools at various levels of accreditation. Now tourist business consists of what appear to be minor things, like regularly supplied clean rushnyk embroidered towels, tasty meals, good lighting, and polite guides.
Lviv's small and large hotel took necessary certification. Hence only two large ones obtained four stars rate; tourists often prefer smaller and homelike ones. It definitely means that city visitors must live in comfortable conditions with pleasant interior design, good service and delicious cuisine. There are many such small hotels in the vicinity of Lviv and along all major highways. In fact, they need little advertising, as their publicity is secured by word of mouth. Only last year brought thirty cases of hotels certification and it grows every year.
However, why Lviv is so popular right now? Why it attracts so many tourists? The answer is easy. People want to plunge into a real history seeing the majority of historical places. They all find it here. Where else can one celebrate Christmas in a more exotic atmosphere, with countless marketplace puppet shows, with whole villages joining in the festivities, when one is drawn in a whirlpool of songs and dances?
Lviv has so many places worthy to visit:
- the Old Town
- Ploshcha Rynok Market Square
- Black House
- Armenian Cathedral
- Orthodox Cathedral with Korniakt Bell Tower
- Latin Cathedral "Assumption of Mary"
- St George Cathedral of the the Greek Catholic church
- Dominican Church "Corpus Christi"
- Lviv "High Castle" - the top of the city located on the hill overlooking the historical centre
- Union of Lyublin mound
- Lyichakiv cemetery
- Museum of folks and arts
- Museum of brewery
- Olesky castle

Recently Lviv celebrated its 750-th anniversary that was a real event in the life of this city. There were a lot of ceremonies, festivals, concerts dedicated to this date. A true hologram effects were realized on the building of National Lviv Opera and Ballet Theater.
How to get there:
By plane
Lviv has an international airport just in 7km from the main city. Lviv has direct international routes including flights from Vienna (Austrian Airlines), Frankfurt (Ukraine International Airlines) and Warsaw (LOT Polish Airlines). Recently Ukraine International Airlines presented numerous flights with direction Lviv- Kiev (weekly).
By train
There are trains coming from whole of Ukraine every day with the destination in Lviv.
The easiest way to get to L'viv by train from Western Europe is through Krakow (Poland). From there, take a train to Przemysl. There is also a direct train from Krakow to L'viv once a day, but we do not recommend this route as it much more expensive and takes longer time because they have to stop for pretty long term in order to change the wheels at the border.
Trains from Hungary and Slovakia usually on their way to Kyiv stop in L'viv.
By car
It is a comfortable and easy way as there high quality roads and highways that go from the majority of the Ukrianian cities to Lviv.
By bus
There are daily buses from Polish cities of Warsaw, Lublin, Przemysl. There is a possibility to get bus from other European cities.
Lviv is one of the most beautiful cities of Europe. Now Lviv becomes more and more popular among tourists from Ukraine and other countries. It is a unique pearl of our country that combines a deep history with all its adorable architecture and modern life.
