Our city had its anniversary 750 years in 2006. We have a lot of ancient streets buildings, museums, churches. The most popular places of interest, all tourists are going firstly to city center (square near Opera House, Rynok square (Market square), High castle, and a lot of others =)).

After enjoying the historical sites and museums you can relax in one of the numerous cafés, bars or restaurants. The sun is shining and you still have some energy left? Climb up to the High Castle or enjoy the view from the top of the City Hall‟s tower. The following pages give you some ideas for your stay in Lviv. However, to stay informed about actual events, concerts and festivals, we recommend the following websites: Moreover, in many cafés you will find a leaflet called OT-OT. It gives useful hints and keeps you up to date about Lviv. Market Square The Market Square is the heart of Lviv. You can meet friends in the numerous cafés, restaurants and bars and enjoy the beautiful architecture. Moreover, you should climb the tower of the City Hall: The view is magnificent! Lviv High Castle It is the site of a historic castle located on one of the hills of Lviv. It is currently the highest point in the city, 413 meters above sea level and a wonderful place for walking and enjoying a gorgeous view. 10 The St. George Cathedral PloshaSv. Jurij 5 The Greek Catholic Archbishop‟s Cathedral of Saint George – magnificent Rococo architectural ensemble dating back to the 18th century (comprising a church, bell tower, metropolitan‟s palace and capitulary buildings) dominates the high hill over Lviv, beautifully blending into the urban landscape. The Armenian Cathedral Vul. Virmenska The Armenian Cathedral (14-15th centuries) is a unique monument of Eastern culture in Europe. It is a successful architectural combination of various styles: the typical Armenian sanctuary, the Romanesque-Gothic style of Western Europe, and the traditional Ukrainian Halychyna type. 11 Vernissage Vul. Lesi Ukrainky On this market you can buy all kinds of souvenirs and Ukrainian handicraft. It is worth a visit! 2.3 About Lviv Lviv (Lvov, Lwow, Loewenburg, Lemberg, Leopolis) - is the city in western Ukraine. Its population is approximately 800.000. It was founded in the middle of the 13th century by Prince Daniel Galytskiy, and named after his son Leo ("Lion") Leopolis. In different periods of its existence Lviv was a part of Poland, Austro- Hungarian Empire, Russian empire and USSR. Since 1991 it is a part of the independent Ukraine. There are a great number of places having historical, architectural and religious importance (some of them belong to the 13th century); there are more than 30 museums of history, ethnography, arms and art galleries. Lviv has always been a significant educational center of Eastern Europe – Ivan Franko National University, Lviv Polytechnics University and other higher educational establishments are located there. In 1998 the historical center of Lviv was included into the "List of World Cultural and Natural Heritage of UNESCO". We can name just a few places of historical importance: Rynok ("Market") square of Renaissance style (the 16- 18th century); Armenian Cathedral (the 14th century); The Latin Cathedral (the 15th century); The Boim's Chapel (the 17th century); Renaissance ensemble of the Church of the Assumption (the 16th century); The Church of Body of Christ of the Dominican Order (the 18th century); St. George Cathedral (the 19th 12 century); Lviv Opera House (the 19th century); Stryj park (founded in 1887). A lot of ancient fortification and religious buildings are situated around Lviv - Olesko castle, Pidgirtsi castle. Not far from Lviv there are balneology centers in Truskavets, Morshyn and Skhidnytsia, ski-centers in Slavsko and Tysovets 13 2.4 Travelling in and around Lviv Lviv has an extensive tram and mini-bus network. Mini-buses (2 UAH = 20 Euro cents) are known as marshrutky and follow a set route, but without a fixed timetable. To indicate a desire to board, extend one arm as the marshrutka approaches; simply ask the driver to stop when you would like to get off. Trams and trolleybuses cost 1 UAH = 10 Euro cents. You can purchase tickets from any news kiosk or from driver in tram. Ask for a "tramvainyibilet". Keep in mind that if you are carrying a piece of luggage larger than a backpack you will need to purchase a second ticket for it. Once inside the tram, be sure to validate your ticket(s) by punching them in one of the metal punches mounted on the walls. An inspector may come around to check your ticket - these people do not wear uniorms but flash a little badge. It's interesting to note that mostly all of the drivers of the trams and ticket checkers are women. Taxis are available throughout the city, and the city center is swarming with them at night. When they aren't equipped with a meter you must agree on a price with the driver ahead of time. It's usually cheaper when taxi do have meter. As usual prices around the city is up to 50 UAH = 10 Euros. We haven‟t night public transport. As usual it stops till midnight! 2.5 Eating drinking and clubbing in Lviv Kriyivka ('Bunker' in Ukrainian)You repeat the words over and over in your head as you wander through the main square. “Slava Ukraini, slava Ukraini, slava Ukraini,” You repeat. The phrase means, „glory to Ukraine,‟ and it‟s your ticket to this city‟s best kept entertainment secret – an underground unmarked bar called Kryivka. Kryivka basically means hiding place in Ukrainian and they‟re not kidding. But when you do finally find it, state the password to a man toting a prop vintage 14 machine gun, receive your shot of authentic Ukrainian medovuha, and descend the stairs into the cozy wooden dining room you‟ll be glad you took the time to find it. This Ukrainian independence themed bar is decorated with artifacts from Ukraine‟s valiant struggle to stay autonomous -- with guns, maps and posters lining the walls. You‟ll also notice the names of dishes on the English menu harken back to a military tradition stretching back to the Austrian Empire. Culinary highlights include a half-meter long sausage, pickles soaked in honey and some of the most savory vareniky in Lviv. There is also a bit of theatre during a dinner at Kryivka. One element of Ukrainian nationalism is the constant struggle against Russian imperialism. If you‟re lucky, a “Russian spy” may have snuck in to the restaurant during dinner, and the brave staff will turn off the lights, grab a flashlight, root out this spy and serve him a healthy portion of justice.

  • The Jewel in the Emerald Necklace of the City of Lviv
    HALYNA PETRYSHYN*, OLHA KRYVORUCHKO**, HALYNA LUKASHCHUK*, STEPAN TUPIS’* THE PARK IN ST. YURI (ST. GEORGE) SQUARE – THE JEWEL IN THE EMERALD NECKLACE OF THE CITY OF LVIV SKWER NA PLACU ŚW. JURY – KLEJNOT W SZMARAGDOWYM NASZYJNIKU LWOWA Abstract The most valuable parks in Lviv were designed by the famous city gardener Arnold Röhring, who managed to combine in the art of landscape design the different styles of the turn of 20th century. If the large parks of the city are under state protection, the smaller ones designed as public gardens, boulevards, gardens near the villas are constantly being rebuilt and destroyed. The results of the study of the park in St. Yuri Square in Lviv give grounds for considering this park an authentic monument of landscape art of the end of the 19th century, where its compositional structure and state of rare old-growth species of trees and shrubs are well preserved. Keywords: Lviv parks, landscape design, public gardens, Arnold Röhring Streszczenie Najcenniejsze parki we Lwowie zostały zaprojektowane przez słynnego ogrodnika miejskiego Arnol- da Röhringa, któremu udało się połączyć w sztuce projektowania krajobrazu różne style przełomu XIX i XX wieku. Jeśli duże parki miasta są pod ochroną państwa, mniejsze, zaprojektowane jako ogrody pu- bliczne, skwery, bulwary, ogrody w pobliżu willi, stale są przebudowane i niszczone. Badania skweru na placu św. Jury we Lwowie dają podstawy do uznania go autentycznym zabytkiem sztuki krajobrazowej z końca XIX wieku, w którym struktura kompozycyjna i stan starodrzewu rzadkich gatunków są dobrze zachowane.

  • Sacred Elements in Historical Western Ukrainian Oikonymy
    DOI: 10.308161ICONN412017155 Sacred elements in historical Western Ukrainian oikonymy Yaroslav Redkva Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Ukraine Abstract: The place of sacred toponymy is determined by the important role of religion in society. Therefore, sacred interests are at the centre of a person’s atten- tion, as they constitute a reflection in his/her consciousness of deep mental fea- tures rooted in the genesis of any nation. In accounting for a system of developmental factors and geographical and spatial organisation of territorial toponymic systems, the detection and establishment of regularities in their formation and functioning is impossible without establishing the origin of historical names of settlements, a considerable part of which are oik- onyms whose etymology contains a significant sacred element. Sacred names of places of the former Ruske Woyewodstwo (in the fourteenth to twenty-first centuries) are analysed in this paper. At present, the area is a territory comprising modern Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Ternopil Oblasts (Western Ukraine), in particular, Богородичин/Bohorodychyn, Богородчани/ Bohorodchany, *Вознесіння/*Voznesinnia, Воскресинці/Voskresyntsi, Спас/ Spas, Троїця/Troitsia, Хвалибога/Khvalyboha. It has been established as a basis of etymological analysis that place names in the aforementioned area make up a particular onomastic (oikonymic) field, united by the meaning of sacredness. They hold an important place in the religious world model of Ukrainians despite unjustified ideological attempts to forcefully rename them in the Soviet period. Keywords: anthroponym, oikonym, sacred place name, toponymic systems, ono- mastic field. In any society the religious sphere carries out major spiritual and cultural func- tions. It encompasses practising different cults (prayer, rites, and holidays) that take place in different cult buildings (churches, monasteries, religious communities, etc.).

  • Gezmek Bir Zamanlar Insan Ve Evren Arasında Var Olan Uyumu Tekrar Kurar.’’ Anatole France
    ‘’Gezmek bir zamanlar insan ve evren arasında var olan uyumu tekrar kurar.’’ Anatole France LVİV GEZİ REHBERİ; Lviv, Ukrayna'nın batısında, Polonya’ya 70 kilometre uzaklıkta bulunan bir şehir. Toplamda 860.000 kişilik nüfusunun %88'i Ukraynalı, %8'i Rus, %1'i de Polonyalı. Galiçya Kralı Daniel önderliğinde 13. yüzyılda kurulan şehir, adını ise Daniel'in en büyük oğlu olan Leo'dan almış ve bu sayede şehrin simgesi de aslan olmuş. Zaten Lviv Ukrayna dilinde de kelime anlamı olarak aslan demek. Şehrin birçok noktasında ve Lviv ambleminde de aslan figürüne rastlamanız mümkün. 14. Yüzyılda Polonya hakimiyetine geçen Lviv, 1772 yılında Habsburg Hanedanlığı tarafından ele geçirilmiş ve adı Lemberg olarak değiştirilmiş. 1918 yılında Avusturya-Macaristan İmparatorluğu’nun çökmesi ile yeniden Polonya hâkimiyetine girmiş ve 2. Dünya Savaşı'ndan sonra Kızıl Ordu’nun müdahalesi ile Sovyetler Birliği'ne katılmış. 1991'de ise bağımsızlığının ardından Ukrayna'ya bağlı bir şehir haline gelmiş. II. Kasimir’in emriyle kurulan Lviv Üniversitesi ve Natsyonal'niy Unyversitet olmak üzere iki yüksek eğitim kurumuna ayrıca filarmoni orkestrasına ve dünyaca ünlü bir opera binasına sahip. Rynok Square adı verilen tarihi şehir merkezi, UNESCO tarafından Dünya Kültür Mirası Listesi'ne alınmış. Galiçya bölgesinin merkezi olma özelliğini taşıyan Lviv, tarihi yapısını 2. Dünya Savaşı'nda da korumayı başarmış. Nazi Almanyası döneminde işgale uğrayan şehirdeki Yahudilerin neredeyse tamamı katledilmiş. Bir günde 4000 kişinin öldürüldüğü bu katliamın izlerini günümüzde dahi görebilmek mümkün. 2000li yıllarından başından itibaren artık tam anlamı ile yaralarını sarmayı başaran ve gelişimini tamamlayan Lviv, günümüzde ülkenin en fazla turist çeken şehri olma unvanına sahip. Yılın her dönemi adeta turist akınına uğruyor ve ekonomik anlamda ülkeye önemli ölçüde katkı sağlıyor.
