FASCINATING JOURNEY THROUGH LVIV AND Kyiv
Our tour begins in the city of Lviv - a noisy yet cozy corner of Ukraine with intoxicating aromas of coffee and chocolate. During our tour we will visit the most beautiful places in the city: the majestic churches and temples, the old cobblestone streets and an impressive open-air museum. We then fly to the capital, Kyiv, which is rightly called the "Mother of Russian Cities". In this amazingly diverse city, business life is intertwined with the beautiful old buildings and the legends of the past centuries. Here we take a stroll along the famous Andriyivskyy Descent to get to Podil and the business center of the city. In addition, we will visit the ethnographic village "Kievan Rus" to plunge into the history and life of Ukraine in past centuries.

Highlight: city tour of Lviv (approx. 3 h)
Lviv is one of the most beautiful cities in Ukraine and Eastern Europe. Over the centuries, the city's power and appearance have changed, but the atmosphere has always remained the same. We also stroll through old avenues where kings and emperors used to drive and discover the opera, the ballet theatre, the Cathedral of St. George and the Galician Sejm (Parliament). We end this exciting tour with a short hike up the 413 m high mountain of the city, from which we then enjoy the wonderful view.

1. Highlight: walk along Lychakivska Street
We start our excursion on the longest street in Lviv - Lychakivska. It starts from the Glinyansky Gate and is an integral part of Lviv. The main trade route to the east - the Glinyansky tract - is an important and historic site where the city has repeatedly repelled attacks from Tatars. Almost every building here has its own exciting story.
2. Highlight: open-air museum "Shevchenko Hai"
Our path takes us further to the Ascension Mountains, where the impressive open-air museum "Shevchenko Hai" is located. It is located on the forested hills in the north-eastern part of the city - in the middle of the Imperial Forest - on an area of about 84 ha. The open-air museum combines a hilly landscape and historical buildings from different regions of Western Ukraine. The exhibition includes about 120 monuments of folk architecture. In addition, the museum houses about 20,000 items of everyday life and applied arts, divided into 6 ethnographic zones. Each zone is a mini-village, consisting of from 15 - 20 monuments of folk architecture.
