A
Brief Introduction To Lviv.
Lviv
is located roughly 70kms away from the border
with Poland in Eastern Europe. It is the 7th
most populous city in Ukraine. It is a city steeped in history and it
was first founded in the 14th century as part of the Kingdom of Ruthenia.
The city then became a hub of commercial and political activity during the middle ages. You can see for yourself the physical reminders of this colorful history as you roam around the city.

Lviv
offers visitors a wide range of landmarks, activities and great food
to revel in, it is also a rather romantic city and many couples come
here to enjoy the romantic ambiance and feel of the town. Although it
doesn't have the high level of tourist numbers that some of the
other cities do, such as Donetsk, Odessa and Kiev, (the Capital of Ukraine)
which are better known, Lviv is well worth a visit.

One of the great advantages of visiting a country such as the Ukraine, is that the financial exchange rate is in our favour and therefore you can have a great breakaway and enjoy so many of the cities' delights without feeling like you are going to bankrupt yourself and your entire family. Spring and Summer is the best time to visit in terms being able to enjoy a much more temperate climate during your stay.
