Lviv Free Walking Tour – Hidden Secrets
An exploration of the non-touristy parts of Lviv with a real local
Finding out more about the history of Lviv in places that you would usually not get to see is the main focus of our Lviv Free Walking Tour – Hidden Secrets. There are beautiful buildings to be discovered, like the Villa Dunikovskoho with its rich decorations and sculptures. You can also take a picture next to quirky sights of Lviv like the Street of the many names or the Monument to a backpack which especially our world travelling guests always see as a highlight.
But we also don’t spare out the horrific details of Lviv history when we show you how some of the World’s most famous scientists survived World War II and how meanwhile tens of thousands of people suffered and dies in Stalag 328 in a place that now houses a 5 star hotel. And we will also show you the only prison museum in Ukraine where people from different backgrounds suffered from oppression.
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.
No problem. We have a Free Tour FAQ page. Here we answer most questions. If you can’t find an answer there, please use the contact form on the right or contact us here!
