- Welcome to Lviv, western Ukraine! 🇺🇦 So, we left you in Bosnia... well, from there we drove north & continued north, for 906 kilometres to be exact, until we reached Lviv (Львів) in the west of Ukraine! This is a part of Ukraine we have both been interested in and wanted to explore for years, so, we thought whilst we had the car, we'd put it to good use and explore this beautiful corner of Europe.

As I have mentioned before, I was new to the channel and have worked my way from your first trip going towards your newest. I have been waiting for the Ukrainian vlogs. It is really surreal to see what Ukraine was prior to 2/24/22. Seeing Lviv in it’s prewar state is hard to see knowing there is such suffering and horrific things going on now. I continually pray that the evil regime will be defeated and that the Ukrainian people can come home and that the world will help them rebuild. These vlogs in Ukraine are very important. I am glad you have them to share on your channel.
Like you I have started from the beginning after one of their videos came up on my feed and I really enjoy seeing the world through their eyes. They are such a lovely couple. It is hard to see Ukraine in peace after knowing what happens. I thought the underground bar looked quite fun. I don't know why Putin thought it was right to go after innocent people like this because that is basically what it is, wholesale slaughter of innocent people trying to live their lives. For what???? I just hope that the world would get a grip and not blame the Russian people because they are innocent in all of this. I'm praying for the people on both sides that they have peace soon. Thank you Matt and Julia for doing these vlogs. I have a good laugh when Julia goes for the Borsch. Everyone I know that has tried it hates it and I won't try it because I hate beets. 😂😂
@fleshnbone187 Thank you for your response. I have come to realize that there is more to the story than I thought at first. I'm afraid the democrats are at it again, interfering in other countries. I say democrats because they have been the ones in power but the Republicans are no better. Over the years I have been slowly losing respect for my country for getting involved with other nations. I don't think I have any left. And who are the people that suffer? It's people like you and me sitting in our house watching TV, preparing a meal or playing with our kids when their house or apartment building is blown out from under them. Just thinking about it makes me have to choke back tears.
And that is completely wrong you should really stop listening to russia - every word from their mouths is a big fat lie! You should pay attention to trustworthy sources, not some wet inventions of a crazy lunatic. Putin did wake up one morning and decided to invade Ukraine, which is an independent country no matter the population nationality, language, etc. Actually, two mornings - one in 2014 and one in 2022.
If there was/is a region in the USA where most population is speaking Spanish Mexican - does it mean that Mexico should invade the USA and vice versa? The only response is NO. No country is allowed to invade another INDEPENDENT country!
Good to see Lviv intact and happy, unlike now...
I love this video and I’m so grateful you made this just in time so we can see what Lviv, Ukraine looked like before the war destroyed it. 😢❤
it's not destroyed, it's way too far from the Eastern Ukraine, Ukraine is big you know
Between Kyiv, Kharkov, Odessa and Lviv, Lviv was my favorite!
Interesting 😊 we can't wait to see more of Ukraine ❤️
The West, along with the the ENTIRE planet outside of Hitler Putin’s Iron Curtain brainwashed country of Slaves know who the Nazis are...
Spoiler Alert....it’s Putin & his brainwashed Russians.
Stay off of American websites with your Russian mindmelt propaganda

Lviv, great place - very inexpensive. A young waitress gave English a go... every time she brought us coffee or food, she kept saying... "Have a nice day!"... when she finally gave us the bill... she sternly said, "you pay me now" - and there's nice beers too!
There is a very good coffee culture there! 🙂
Beautiful places you are explored in Ukraine. Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing...!! God Bless you both....!!!

Thank you so much mate! ❤️
I’m glad you are feeling better!!!
Thank you so much Cristina!
Having been to Lviv 8-ish times, I think you captured the ambience and atmosphere of the city really well! And that's coming from someone who didn't really like it the first few times around. :) (Being a teacher, I always ended up there during the holidays -- the same time as *everyone* else. Those cute narrow streets get a bit claustrophobic then!) Also, you went to one of my favorite breakfast places! I hope you enjoyed your whole time in Lviv and that you get some good Carpathian time! If you need some suggestions, hit me up!
New camera footage is looking great, btw!
Thank you so much! Ah interesting, can definitely imagine how intense it can get in the holidays 😩
Really glad you can see the camera footage too! ❤️
Cool! I can't wait to visit Lviv!
You will love it 😍
Wow all that happened to you. What a week. So glad you both survived and are back to traveling. That restaurant was interesting for sure. I don’t blame you for speaking English. 😂😂😂. It looks beautiful there. I love seeing the architecture and the stalls of goods. So fascinating to see how other people live. Be safe. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Cheryl! Can't wait to show more ❤️❤️❤️
That restraunt was awesome.. what a good idea, what a beautiful country!! I hope and pray for this war to stop.... It breaks my heart... Putin you will be judged by our father, your time will come.
So sorry for your not feeling well!
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Just aswell you got to see it when you did.🙏🇺🇦🌻🇷🇺🌻🏴🙏
Another nice city tour. Thank you very much lovely couple M & J. Wishes from Sri Lanka.
Thank you Anura ❤️
so sad to see this with current situation, looked so peaceful, too bad ones person decision affects milions of lives,I pray this will be over soon 😢
I agree...it's unfortunate the light hearted toneMatt and,Julia bring....unsuspecting, I guess, what horrors lay ahead. I know they want to keep politics out of things but I can understand the nationalist sentiment after Stalin deliberately starved (how many?) millions of Ukranians
What a cool bar and restaurant. Was the food good. Ukraine, another country on my bucket list to visit. A great vlog . Hope you guys are doing ok . Be Well. Harriet and Jim Richmond, Va.
Thank you guys, really appreciate it ❤️
Loved the bar!
Humour is key 😁
So glad you're on-your-feet-and-off-the-toilet Julia! 🦶🏻👏 I love that bar, really unique experience! Pity the two of you kept to English, would have loved to see some footage of your "imprisonment" 😬😂 Lviv looks like an awesome city (with gigantic English/Irish breakfasts 😨😁)
You guys 😂 You’re the best. I would’ve stuck to speaking English, too 😂😂😂 cottage cheese pancakes?? Uhhh yes!! I love the architecture all around the city!!
You would love them!! 😋 The city is so beautiful ❤️
Looks like a St Patrick's day breakfast. Lviv has so much history and culture.
The vlog is extraordinary
It certainly is. I did not see anyone over 40! Careful editing or it is a young person's city.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
Matt, my cardiologist just told me that I cannot watch you eat breakfast ever again. Lovely vid, guys.
Hahaha, I can only apologise 😂 Thanks! ❤️
@@MattandJulia Won't stop me from watching your vids.

Nothing is worse than getting food poisoning. I'm so sorry. Lviv looks like a gorgeous little town. Thank you for showing us this treasure.
it's a big city, 700,000 ppl.
Thank you Marcia! It is a really charming place ❤️
Lviv looks like Poland because right up until 1991 it was in Poland, although under Soviet Rule of course .
Lviv was last a part of Poland in 1939 😊
@@MattandJulia Yes it was a part of Poland in 1939, I'm not disputing that.
It was so right up until 1991 when the fall of the USSR happened.

Very nice places 👍👍👍
Thank you Khan, glad you enjoy them 😊
I LOVE UKRAINE

Hi Thank you so much for your youtube... whas is model your camera?
You are welcome! It is a Sony 7C
I admire you for laughing about the diarrhoea issue. I would have been really depressed after so much time in bed. Julia is so sweet with that attitude to laugh everything away. That will bring her more joy. Enjoy guys!
I have never tried cottage cheese pancakes. I am going to have to make them
No doubt it's beautiful country and the Kiev is fabulous n beautiful city
It is really beautiful, one of our favourites ☺️
Yes, Kyiv is definitely nice city, but you misspelled its name. It's Kyiv, not Kiev.

Hey guys,
Just curious how was crossing the borders? Was it easy all the way from Bosnia to Ukraine by car?
Yeah it was, as long as you have a Green Card it is all good 😊
@@MattandJulia Thank you for the reply. 🙇♀️ As a foreigner lives in Ukraine, I am not sure about the Green Card? Must be European thing?
@@madamebuie-8492 Green Card is a European car insurance certificate. It is required if you're a driver travelling by car and it is not required if you're a passenger.

Nice city! Could you do a blog on Novisibursk?))
At some point yeah, but Siberia is a little far from Ukraine 😀
Lviv reminds me of Poland's Kraków, yes (also with the landscape). But IMO it's not really similar to Warsaw.
Defintely similar to Krakow 😊 We think the old town of Warsaw has similarities with the old town of Lviv 🤷🏼♀️
Food is better in Lviv though 😜
I think ive realised what's Matt's weakness. Food
Haha, I didn't hide it very well did I 😅
Do you guys have jobs? How do you get the time to travel to all these places
🙏👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🙏
❤️❤️❤️
Wonder what those places look like today😔
😢
Так же и выглядит, только без света. Там же нет боевых действий, фронт за тысячи километров. Ну и по военным объектам прилетает, но не думаю, что это сказалось на облике города
this time in Ukraine
❤️
Could u show more of the food please!? Love your videos but your voices are hard to hear a lot of the time.
The city is burning.
Visit ancient Armenian church.
We did, it was under a bit of reconstruction on the outside 😊
Matt needs a cholesterol pill with that breakfast 😂🤣😂🤣
Hahaha, not even sure that would have helped 😂😂😂
It's not syrniki looks like gombovtsi
No I wasn't Gombovtsi, definitely Syrniki. Syrniki was even written on the menu in Ukrainian. We had Gombovtsi, during our time in Ukraine though, they were nice 🙂
Julia's face must hurt from smiling and giggling constantly. I must count on Matt to add the proper English dignity to the video. I cannot stop watching!
Богатая история. Хитсорист Тимоти Шнайдер называет этот район «Кровавыми землями» из-за многочисленных массовых убийств.
Lviv is such a nice city. The people there are so friendly right? Well if you are a Russian, those people at the bar might not be so friendly, even though they speak Russian. Back in 1941, after the Wehrmacht took Kiev, the SS and Bandera's men, mostly from Lviv and Western Ukraine rounded up over 40,000 Jews from Kiev and shot each one of them over a 2 day period at a large open pit at Babi Yar and covered their dead bodies. The problem here is most residents of Lviv consider these Banderite men heroes. Apparently attitudes haven't changed very much since the end of the WWII.
they haven´t my parents asked for the way to kiev in 2011 in russian and some started to insult them , some ignored them. Only one young man was helpful :(
Was Lviv in the Russian Empire? I thought this was not the case.
Of course it was. The boundaries of Ukraine are from the Russian Empire
@@CaptainGrimes1 I thought was in Polish-Lithuanian

Been to the restaurant a few times. Don’t worry it’s theatre. If you want nationalism head into the Carpathian Mountains
Yeah we understood that 😊 all good fun 🙂
Sirniki... mmmm.
Our favourites! 😍

Today is October 1st , 2022 , the changes since you visited last year are dramatic and sobering . The Ukraine is not the place to be if you're Russian ,whatever kinship that existed has been literally killed . Carry on ...
As Ukrainian I would prefer this city to be returned to Poland they will look much better after the city! This city is beautiful but needs badly renovation and preservation
Hopefully once the economic situation improves the renovation can start 🙏🏻❤️
Lviv (Polish: Lwów) will always have a special place in Poland's history. It was a very important city of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1569-1795). Its university was founded by the Polish king Jan II Kazimierz in 1661, some 150 years before a university was founded in Warsaw! Even after the partitions of Poland/Lithuania, Lwów played a tremendously important role in Polish culture, science, society. Poland's first sports club was not founded in Warsaw or Kraków, but in Lwów (1903). In the interwar period (1918-1939), not Warsaw, but Lwów hosted the famous School of Mathematics. Very many important personalities of post-war Poland were born in Lwów or in its area, to this day many have family roots there. Lwów - now Lviv - will forever remain an extraordinary part of our Polish identity.

Wow! That prank bunker bar is really something considering that L'viv is the center of the Ukrainian Nazis and Ukraine has been shelling and killing thousands of ethnic Russians in the Donbass for 8 years, before the current outbreak, which most people in the west don't seem to know! Did you see the Bandera statue in L'viv?
that's so funny. why don't you just open your eyes and start reading trustworthy sources rather than watching russian fictional news? if you believe in those you can as well believe north korean news and consider it a country of free people 😂
@@j.d.1275 It's completely true. Why don't you stop believing western propaganda.
Nothing wrong in being nationalist, especially when you have a giant toxic imperialistic neighbor.
P. S. don't confuse with nazism
Come on come on who's Ukrainian between the two of you you've from Australia doing the grand tour of Europe before coming back home to start University. So influencers and side hustlers after Bosnian runs you have to be careful but the rule there you consume Slivovitz with every meal and black coffee.
bet ur glad ur not in ukraine in 2023
dude, to be precise it's never been Russian Empire. Moreover, during the Polish-Lithuanian period, it was the Kingdom of Rus Galicia, fyi when you open Ukraine map from Boplan 1648 you can find there this name of Rus over there while Russia was Moskovia, and this is true, Russia simply stole the name of Russia renamed Moskovia into Russia
Никогда мы не были Московией, только поляки нас так называли, мы себя так - никогда.

So here's the lesson for you, if you gonna visit Ukraine - speak Ukrainian, not Russian, it's just a simple respect to speak the language of the country you're visiting rather than the one they're at war with...
So here is a lesson for you. Russian is the native language to nearly 30% of people in Ukraine, it is the majority language in big cities like Odessa, Kharkiv and even Kyiv. By the way, you even hear it on the streets of Lviv, especially from tourists from other parts of the country. Russian may not be official but by no means is it is 'foreign language' in Ukraine. Russian is not only owned by the country of Russia, but Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Ukraine and more. Just as English isn't only owned by England...
On that note, what language do you expect us to communicate in?
We learnt what we could, but you expect us to have learnt fluent Ukrainian in 3 days? Before you come back with that, every occasion we tried to speak in English, very few people could understand us.
We would ask you politely to grow up and stop politicising language...
@@MattandJulia right. most Ukrainians do not care what language they speak. they are satisfied that Ukrainian has an official status, and Russian for communication between the countries of the former USSR. everything else is politics
@@MattandJulia On that note you can gtfo to Belarus and speak whatever language you want
@@MattandJulia Well said! Ridiculous to stipulate that "it's just a simple respect to speak the language of the country you're visiting", I have visited many countries with languages spoken that was unfamiliar to me. One always finds a way to communicate through some common language, that is all language is anyway, a way to communicate with others. Language builds bridges among people, politics tends to do the opposite....

Ребят, при всем моем уважении к вам, я вас люблю, но УПА это не смешно и не забавно. Вы знаете что они творили во время второй мировой?
Спасибо вам огромное за ваши тёплые слова. Честно, ваше обращение очень многое для нас значит.
Конечно знаем. На самом деле все случилось очень неожиданно и мы снимали наше нахождение в этом месте в состоянии шока. Мы не знали как лучше поступить, но не хотели не упомянуть, что такое место существует. Мы не хотим возраждать ненависть и накалять ситуацию, которая сейчас происходит. Но в этой части страны присутствует довольно-таки яркое чувство национализма. Это место считается 'приколом' (Мэтт говорил, что его аж в 'Орёл и решка' показывали), мне там было ужасно неудобно и в голове эта 'шутка' не очень укладывается. Мы не ржём над ситуацией или историей, это больше нервный смех. Мы не хотели создавать какую-то драму, а хотели передать эти чувства (ситацию) в лёгкой форме.
Я надеюсь, что я смогла сформулировать мои мысли в понятной форме.😊 Мы не хотели никого обидеть или выставить себя идиотами.
@@MattandJulia Понятно, со всеми могло такое случиться, окажись я в таком месте тоже наверно не знала бы как отреагировать и возможно у меня тоже начался бы нервный смех или тик не знаю))) Самое главное, что вы все понимаете. Люблю вас, удачи!!!
УПА захищала свою землю від совєцьких фашистів .Запиши це собі на лобі і не забувай .
