Western region of Ukraine. L’viv is a very beautiful and cozy European city
with unique architecture and lots of nice restaurants and caf?s. It is famous
for its ancient cathedrals, churches, museums, art galleries, theatres. L’viv
was founded in the mid-13th century. The city was located on the crossroads of
trade routes that made it the center of trade and commerce and led to its rapid
economic development. The medieval urban topography has been preserved virtually
intact (in particular, there is evidence of the different ethnic communities who
lived there), along with many fine Baroque and later buildings. The territory
of central part of L’viv – 120 ha of the property at its centre now
listed as a part of the World Heritage, was designated as a National Historical
and Architectural Reserve. In the centre of the city is situated Stryiski Park.
It was founded in 1879 – in summer 2009 it celebrated its 130th Birthday.
This giant territory (54 ha) was a favorite place of locals for years. Cinema,
galleries, restaurants were situated here. Unfortunately, last years were not
so successful for the Park – because of bad financing now it is in poor condition.
During this summer some renovation works in the park are planned by local authorities.

parks located in the centre of the city. They will clean footpaths and runoff
