Lviv is a beautiful city in western Ukraine and now serves as one of main cultural centers of the country. It is a medium sized city of about 730,000 so it is easy to move and makes it a perfect place to stay city or destination for backpackers who want to think outside the box a little and enjoy a city that is not yet totally invaded by tourism. However, there are still many things to do in Lviv and you certainly will not be bored!

Entertainment in Lviv
You certainly will not be bored in Lviv with an abundance of entertainment options unique and very special. No visit to the city would be complete without a night at the infamous Kriyivka bar, decorated in WW2 Ukrainian partisan issue where you have to say a doorman holding a submachine gun the word password so you can get in! Much fun indeed, and very unique.
There is also no shortage of nightclubs in Lviv and be a very active student and city hosts one of the best universities in the country, there really is some great options for enjoying life and meeting people.
When the weather is as beautiful as it is often during the summer, you should spend the night at one of the many bars and restaurants of the Avenue Svobody or even go to a ballet or a concert in the magnificent Opera House at the end of the avenue.
