Lviv is 90 kilometres from Truskavets, so one day is enough for this tour. The bus picks you up at your hotel, and by lunchtime you are standing on Market Square under the Town Hall. Your guide leads you through the most interesting streets of the centre, tells city legends and shows places where it is really worth lingering.

  • Market Square with the Town Hall and townhouses, brought to life by the guide’s city legends and stories
  • The Opera House on Svobody Avenue – one of the most beautiful theatre buildings in all of Ukraine
  • The Dominican Cathedral, the Assumption Church and the Powder Tower on a walk through the old centre
  • The Boim Chapel, the pharmacy museum and the Post Museum of your choice – admission paid separately
