Lviv is a city with a unique atmosphere and its own personality. You can feel it through its architecture, people and many interesting places. The history of Lviv is as bright and wonderful as the city itself, full of thrilling events and famous personalities. Today Lviv is more than 750 years old and it has much to tell you. The city that was founded on the crossroads of the advantageous trading routs, quickly expended and developed, becoming one of the major trading centers of the medieval Europe. Soon passing under the power of many European countries, such as Poland, Austria, Germany and Russia, Lviv has absorbed from all of its occupants some part of their culture and knowledge, eventually becoming not only a gem of architecture, but also a center of modern scientific, economic, spiritual and cultural life.
