Avant de partir
Depuis l'aéroport
Lviv Danylo Halytskyi International Airport (LWO) is about 7km from the center. The most convenient option is a taxi via Uklon/Bolt app (approx. 150-250 UAH / €4-6). Bus #29 runs to the main train station (approx. 20 UAH) but can be crowded with luggage.
Se déplacer
The Old Town and most key attractions are extremely walkable and best explored on foot. Comfortable shoes are essential for the cobblestone streets.
Conseils sur place
- For the best views without the climb, skip the overgrown High Castle Hill and head to the rooftop terrace of the Museum of Folk Architecture (Shevchenkivskyi Hai) or the bell tower of the Bernardine Monastery.
- Coffee is cheaper if you stand at the bar (like in Italy). Ask for 'kava za bara' to save a few hryvnias at traditional cafes like Svit Kavy.
- Download the Uklon or Bolt app for reliable, affordable taxi rides. Always ensure the meter is running or agree on a price beforehand if hailing from the street.
