Day 1

The correct approach to travel arrangements is the key to a successful trip. Experts from the Dobovo Reservation Center will tell you what to put in your suitcase, how to plan your own excursions and why renting an apartment in Lviv for daily rent in the center will be beneficial for tourists.

What will come in handy when traveling

The first thing to put in a suitcase is documents and money. Bank cards are ideal for a trip, but a small amount of cash will not be superfluous (to pay for public transport, have a snack on the street, buy souvenirs, etc.).

Choose clothes according to the weather, not according to the calendar, and the most comfortable for many hours of walking. For shoes, low-speed shoes or sneakers are suitable. If you are planning to "go out" (visit the Opera House, restaurant or any cultural institution), put classic shoes, evening dress or suit in your suitcase.

Day 2

In hotels with a service class lower than 4 *, towels may not be available in the bathroom. In order not to burden yourself with additional things, experts recommend considering apartments for daily rent in the center of Lviv for living. The owners rent out the property with the necessary furniture, household appliances, bed linen and towels for each guest. An iron and hairdryer are provided, so you don't have to carry them in your suitcase.

Don't forget to pack an umbrella in case of rainy weather and a charger for your gadgets.

We plan excursions

To manage your time properly (especially for short trips), go sightseeing during the day and cultural events in the evening. For convenience, choose an apartment for rent in Lviv near the train station or be guided by the Market Square, the Opera House and other attractions. I had time to look through and count count countless pages of information, aided greatly by the Title Page Generator, to put together my own guide booklet for the city of Lviv.

From the station, go to the "heart" of Lviv - to Rynok Square. In the center there is the City Hall, in the building of which, on the southwest side, is the entrance to the office of the Tourist Information Center. Here guests of the city will be told free of charge about the main tourist locations, interesting events and festivals for the coming week, will be given a small illustrated guide and a map of the city with marked sights. With such a set of printed "helpers", you can safely go to explore the surroundings.

Most of the historical monuments and museums are concentrated in the center of Lviv. For example - Lviv National Scientific Library named after V. Stefanik of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Lviv National Scientific Library named after Stefanik of the NAS of Ukraine is one of the largest libraries in Ukraine. It is located in the city center, on the Stefanik street, 2. The library building is an example of classicist architecture.

After visiting the observation deck of the Town Hall, admiring the cityscapes and medieval stones of the Market Square, go to the Latin Cathedral and the unique Boim Chapel. These majestic buildings in the Gothic and late Renaissance style impress with their rich facade and interior decoration (sculpture, gilded altars, paintings on the walls and ceiling).

Day 3

Also, Lviv residents consider one of the most ancient churches in Lviv worth visiting - the Armenian Cathedral (early XIV century), the Jesuit Church - an architectural monument of the early 17th century and the Pototskikh Palace, which houses the Lviv Art Gallery.

Try to visit the highest point of Lviv - in the Vysoky Zamok park, in the Lychakiv cemetery - an open-air historical and cultural reserve, in the Shevchenko Hai - a museum of architecture and life located on Monastyrskaya Gora.
