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 :-)

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!

In the museum you will see the anti-nuclear bunker, walk through the waterflood part, visit the wild catacombs. You can also visit the partisans station, the gangsters stash ,at other exhibitions.The concept of the general nature of the museum is that - starting from the surface, then, with the deepening of the catacombs, you sink further and further into the past of the city. Pre-call!

8. Armenian Virgin Mary's Dormition Church

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).

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.

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.
