I made a selection of photos I haven’t shared before, from my last trip to Lviv. Only a few need a short description. This is the Youth Library in the city centre – Rynok Square – where, on the first floor, camo nets are being made. A person at the window, observing the daily minute […]
It started snowing and I got excited. I went to the volunteer dinner and said: “it’s snowing”. Besides a Brit, who was just as excited, nobody else was particularly bothered… people who see snow every year seem to be less impressed than those living on the British Isles, who hardly see any snow. The streets […]
Olenivka Exhibition at the Territory of Terror Museum was organised by two Ukrainian friends, with whom I work when I’m in Ukraine. I know some of these children and some of the families. The exhibition was made to mark the 3rd anniversary of the Olenivka massacre on 29 July 2022. One child had his father […]
Organica is a new and vegan restaurant in Lviv. I found out about it after a fellow volunteer mentioned this restaurant opened. It is a bit far from where the volunteer dinners are, so I went on my own for lunch instead. The food was so good. I will definitely go there again. The food […]
In front of St. George’s Cathedral in Lviv there is a wonderful display of children paintings. The cathedral was built in mid-18th century, on the site of two previous churches. The first religious building on the site dates from the 1200s. The cathedral is beautiful and it was filled with parishioners, which I didn’t expect […]
I visited the Jam Factory just before leaving Lviv, last month. I was with a friend and it was lovely. We spent a lot of time looking at the special exhibition and didn’t go up to see the historical exhibition, as I already saw that before and it was rather late. The complex has 2 […]
I am sharing quite a lot of pictures of Lviv in July. I should make it a goal to take more pictures of details of buildings, hopefully I will remember next time. Today though is all about the “big picture”. This is the Town Hall, marking the centre of the city. It is in the […]
Travelling to Ukraine via Poland is complicated because of the amount of options. I will share my experience with all three options [on foot, by bus, or by train] to get into Ukraine. I imagine this post is interesting for someone planning their journey or for the ones who are wondering how one gets into […]
House of Scientists in Lviv is a splendid 19th-century neo-baroque building. It was used before as an aristocratic casino, while today is often used as a film set, for obvious reasons. The project was created by the Viennese architectural bureau of F. Fellner and G. Helmer. This team is the one that designed other theatres […]
This blog is my personal diary, I will only write about brands and products I’ve used personally and are inline with my personal beliefs (e.g. no real fur). I am happy to receive PR samples or services, I also receive gifts at blogging events and sometimes I will blog about them.
I will disclose by mentioning in the post and/or by marking them with an asterisk (*) or c/o.
