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.

Elegantly and tasteful Baroque compared to the excesses of other cathedrals in the city. Most of it is also roped off compared to the other cathedrals so just a quick visit.

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.

The House of Scientists boasts the most amazing staircase you'll likely ever see. No wonder it is used for wedding photos. The architectural style is beautiful and it is charming to walk through the covered entrance to the side door (which opens into the view of the magnificent staircase) and well worth the tour!
10. Arkhivnaya Street
