The Outcrops was a special exhibition at the Gunpowder Tower in Lviv. I will share a few pictures and a few facts on both the exhibition and the Gunpowder Tower. Gunpowder Tower is the last building remaining which was part of the defensive system of medieval Lviv. It is beautifully preserved. It dates back to […]
Lychakiv Cemetery, opened in 1786 which is now both a cemetery and a museum, is one of the most important places to see in Lviv. The cemetery is one of the oldest in Europe, older than most if not all from Liverpool, for instance. Around 400,000 people are buried in this cemetery, from soldiers and […]
Kryivka is a restaurant in central Lviv which is hard to locate and for which you need a password to be allowed in. As one can imagine, it is a very popular place. After one identifies the entrance, which is in Rynok Square, close to the Town Hall, one needs the password. The password is, […]
Andrey Sheptytsky National Museum is an art museum just besides the Opera. It is in the city centre and thus within easy reach for anybody who visits Lviv. The entry fee is cheap and there were three exhibitions. I will share a couple of highlights from each one. Yaroslav Kostko is a young artist, in […]
Update! My husband took the picture below last week. I’m loving how friendly and cuddly the cats are. I’ve had a few of them sleeping on my lap. The Cat Café Lviv was a place I wanted to go to if I knew about it last time I was in Ukraine. Funnily enough it’s only […]
Signs of war in Ukraine is my last post on my visit in Ukraine last month. I wanted to show how beautiful Ukraine is, how rich its culture is, before looking at the signs of war. I did share a few things that where related to war, but this post is focused only on war. […]
Walk through Kyiv is a round-up of pictures I didn’t share before, from Kyiv. I shared quite a few pictures from Kyiv in previous posts: Holodomor Museum, Pechersk Lavra (almost 1,000 years old church), I shared pictures of the burned russian metal and how Ukraine remembers its heroes. Saint Sophia is one of the most […]
Kyiv Pechersk Lavra or Kyiv Monastery of the Caves is an impressive church which is so worth visiting. It was established in 1051 and it is an Orthodox monastery. When we visited we did not have time to see all the museum displays and the lady from the ticket office gave us a simple ticket […]
One of the main reasons I went to Ukraine was to see Holodomor Museum. For my Master’s I am studying an Anglo-American journalist who denied that the famine of 1932-1933 was happening in the ussr. In Ukraine, which was the breadbasket of ussr and both the most affected by the famine, this genocide is remembered […]
Walk through Lviv is an opportunity to share a few more pictures from that beautiful city. I will also talk about the place where we stayed, at the end of the post. I shared a few posts on museums and places I’ve been to, so there is no need to make a round-up of those. […]
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.
