Looking down on part of Rynok Square with tram lines passing through and the Fountain of Diana in the bottom left. Canon 6D Mk1, Canon 16-35mm F/2.8L III USM lens @ F6.3, 1/125s, ISO100, 16mm Rynok Square or Market Square is the focal point in the old city and is lined with cafes and restaurants. It’s so easy to while away your day here, people watching as you sip a cherry wine liqueur (piana vyshnia = drunk cherry) or a local craft beer for which both Lviv is deservedly well-known. A visit to the Town Hall, located on the square, is a must for stupendous 360-degree views of the entire city with churches and pretty rooftops seen in all directions. Classical musicians play the harp, violin, and saxophone every evening on the square, sometimes jazzed up with a modern vibe but always with incredible talent and precision. Without a doubt, street photography is the genre you’d most enjoy here, and when the lights go on at dusk, there are some opportunities for long exposures, so make sure you have your tripod with you. It’s often the people that make the place when you travel, oh and the food! And much to my surprise, the people of Ukraine I found to be super polite, respectful and gently spoken, not at all like my preconceived impressions. To be honest, their politeness really blew me away, and the food, well, I’m not a borscht kind of eater, but nonetheless, there was a large Polish influence, and perogies (dumplings) were a favourite on the menu. Thankfully, there was also a good amount of Italian cuisine on offer with pasta dishes and pizza readily available. Needless to say, I didn’t go hungry! The city of Lviv and indeed Ukraine generally is a fabulous destination to add to your European adventures in the future. I do hope more people visit when able as the country and its people really deserve our attention and respect. If you’re a lover of beautiful Renaissance architecture, incredible orthodox churches, quaint streets with boutique shops and cafes, and people who dance to local musicians as they wander by in the streets every night, then the happy vibes and cultural exploration of Ukraine and Lviv are definitely for you.
