No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Ukraine

Stryiskyi Park

Stryiskyi Park is a historic and iconic urban park known for its expansive green spaces, shaded walking paths, and rich plant life. Designed by horticulturist Arnold Röhring, it was established in the late 19th century and served as an important event venue during the regional exhibition held in 1894. The park covers more than 50 hectares, and its terrain combines hillsides, stream valleys, and open plateaus, with a layout that balances natural scenery and garden aesthetics. The park is home to maples, chestnuts, beeches, oaks, pines, and other trees. It also features ponds, fountains, flower beds, and greenhouses, creating rich layers of scenery. Strolling through the park, visitors can enjoy plant scenery that changes with the seasons and experience a peaceful, comfortable atmosphere along the shaded paths. The park also retains historic buildings and memorials that reflect the history of Lviv's development, making it an ideal place for residents to walk, relax, and connect with nature.

St. George's Cathedral

The Cathedral of St. George was built on the hill of St. George, where prominent figures of the Ukrainian Catholic Church are buried. It is now run by the Ukrainian Eastern Orthodox Catholic Church. This is a baroque-rococo church. An earlier wooden building was built in 1280 and was destroyed and rebuilt in 1761. The statues of St. Leo and St. Athanas above the main entrance are worth noting, and the interior displays combine Catholic and Orthodox styles.
