Lviv Free Walking Tour – Cultures
A walk through the history of Lviv as a multi-ethnic metropolis
Lviv has so many faces even today. Just imagine how many times it has already changed it’s appearance until now! This is exactly why we are offering the Lviv Free Walking Tour – Cultures. We are taking you on a walk through the centuries and through all kinds of different Cultures in Lviv. Get to know more in-depth history and stories about Polish, Ukrainian, Jewish, Armenian, Italian, Hungarian and German people in Lviv – just to name a few.
Now being a predominantly Ukrainian city, Lviv was always known to be a melting pot of different cultures throughout the centuries. Walk with us through at least half a dozen cultures that left their traces in Lviv. Our guides know all the corners of the city and have been trained in various subjects of history, so that they can show you the best places and explain you the history behind them. Our Lviv Free Walking Tour – Cultures of Lviv is the best way to reveal the forgotten history of Polish Lwow, Jewish or Austrian Lemberg, Ukrainian Lviv or Italian Leopoli. And did you know that Lviv has been the home of Armenians for more than six centuries?
Our walk is relaxed and we won’t bore you with plain historic facts and dates. We will wrap them in compelling stories about the life in this beautiful city through the centuries. And believe us: In the 2.5 hours we can tell you quite a few stories – and we have even more! Some of the places that you will see and hear about:
Unfortunately we only have 2.5 to 3 hours with you. But we could fill this tour with much more! So join us to get at least the very essence of the Cultures of Lviv.
For all our free tours, we meet at the Amphitrite fountain on Rynok Square. Watch out for a white umbrella with a Lviv Buddy logo on it! Also note that there are other tour companies that conduct tours and also use umbrellas for recognition. Please make sure to end up with the white umbrella!
You don’t need to book your spot as our guides will always be on the meeting point at the given times. But we recommend reserving a spot, because if the groups are too big, we can send people with no reservation away.
Yes, anytime. You can let us know if you can’t come or just not show up to the tour.
