Hi Guys!
Today I am going to share pictures of Lviv where I have been to a few times to take planes and buses. I used to go to Lviv while I was living in Poland since fligts from Turkey to Lviv and buses from Lviv to Radom are cheap. Fligts from Istanbul to Lviv cost like $100 and buses to Radom cost around $12. If you are lucky, you will not have to wait at the border between Ukraine and Poland. Entering Ukraine from Poland by bus is pretty easy, you just need to wait for 10-15 minutes for passport control at each border. But entering Poland from Ukraine by bus is such a torture. You have to get off the bus with your all belongings, then wait for at least 30-40 minutes to leave Ukraine, and then wait for another 30-40 minutes to enter Poland.

Lviv is not a big and it is pretty cheap. I remember my 2 nights accommodation in a hostel at the city center of Lviv costed me around $9. When you compare this price to the prices of hostels in most of European cities, you will see that it is half of the average price. Because of the currency difference, you will feel like a millionaire there. Once you get to Market Square, I do suggest you to go to City Hall Tower View direcly. I was late to enter twice, as I remember they close it at 5pm. People say it has a beautiful view but unfortunately, I couldn't see it. But for me, Market Square is so pretty. There are many authentic places, cozy cafes and bars, some food cars... and of course the architecture is pretty beautiful.

To reach Lviv Theatre of Opera and Ballet, 5 minutes walking from the city center will be enough. Another suggestions is that if you like opera or ballet, you should check tickets in advance. Performans and atmosphere at Lviv Theatre are amazing. Most of time all tickets are sold out so you should check tickets when you plan your trip.

I am going to end this post here with two pictures of Dominican Church that was actually built as the Roman Catholic church but now is serving as the Greek Catholic church. I hope you enjoyed the post.
