Hi Guys - thanks for watching - if you would like to see my other Ukraine videos - check out my Ukraine Playlist ua-cam.com/video/Lv8UKmfL7qQ/v-deo.html
I am from Taiwan and planning to Lviv in October, just wanna say this video is very helpful, Thank you!
Wen thanks for watching and also thanks for commenting :)
You will have a great time in Lviv. Hopefully more videos will follow! :)
Are you there now?
Thanks for sharing! I'm going to Lviv tomorrow! Visiting from USA!!!
Thanks for watching Ramon :)
You will have a great time I’m sure!
Я люблю Україну. З Індії 😘
welcome friend
I lived in Lviv for 7 years. You covered almost all of the bases! It was especially nice to see you stop at Stryiskiy Park as most tourists aren't even aware of it. The one hidden gem that you missed was the Yard of Lost Toys. That's where I always took visitors.
And this is exactly why i wanted people to comment :)
I haven’t been to the Lost Toys Yard so next time I’m there I’ll be visiting :)
Thank you and thank you for watching :)
@@TheWonderingEnglishman You also missed which is very important is,Shevchenkivsky grove,! Шевченківський гай, (SHEVCHENKIVSKY HIGH (pronounced),a natural park reserve with all traditional buildings, of historical Ukrainian tribes,,,.lvivskansen.org/.
Next time!
Thanks for your recommendations! I'm going to Lviv next month:)
Welcome :)
Wonderful! Lviv is worth to visit!
Very nice video! Never been to Lviv but this made me want to add it to my list of places to go in the future! Can't believe how cheap the wine was!
The wine is even cheaper in Moldova :)
But Lviv is exceptional ;)
Thank you for watching !
I cannot wait! I will be returning to Lviv next month :)
I’ll be back next week :)
@@TheWonderingEnglishman Check out Gas Lamp restaurant and if you get the chance, take a day trip to the Carpathian mountains!
An excellent plan - I’m actually going to be spending my time looking at property there - I see Lviv as a place that is worth investing in :)
The wondering Englishman I was considering investing there as well! Lviv is definitely one of Europe’s best kept secrets :)
That will probably change very quick I imagine :)
I'm back in Lviv on Thursday, only for 1 night unfortunately, so i'll have to use my time wisely. You video was a timely reminder of some options.
Was surprised not to see Kryivka restaurant on the list as that's an interesting place.
I would also suggest trying the 'Chemical Experiment' drink as Gasova Lampa when you're next there, if you haven't tried it before.
Best,
Nick
The Chemical Experiment I tried the first trip to Lviv - I think it may be in this video ua-cam.com/video/TTY7xx0Zdnw/v-deo.html
Like I say - a lot is missing - it’s not exact list :)
It’s just some of my top things to do in Lviv :)
And it’s more than the originally planned 10! :)
Enjoy Thursday night!
I love the atmosphere at 11:00 and this meat restaurant... Omg.. seems like the life quality in Ukraine is pretty good!!! Lovely vlog, a lot of beautiful images! Well documented. Looking forward to the next adventure! :)
Ukraine is very underestimated and honestly it’s a wonderful country and yes the beer hall type atmosphere of Arsenal ribs was great :)
Very joyful people when out and about.
Thanks for the tour very instructive.
No worries Tony more videos like that on my channel and more to come :)
Great video bro...I basically just created my itinerary with your suggestions!
Have a great trip!
Agree - great video!
Quirky city nice vid mate
I need to visit Lviv!
use condoms! AIDS in Ukraine everywhere
I think the Russian who replied to you is trying to put you off. Lviv is a fantastic lively city, my favourite. It won't disappoint
I am totally agree with you! And would add some other places. Particularly Monument of chimney sweeper (soot-shaker or soot-quaker in Ukrainian)
The full list of places that I visited you can see in my photo album with geotagging photos.app.goo.gl/X91jQTHHbGSn4Lgz8
Thank you for your input Sergij - it’s appreciated :)
Could easily make another 5/10x videos on lviv as there is so much to see :)
Thanks for watching
I find it amazing that you enjoy beer in ua so much coming from Britain, i am big fan of beer and i gotta say in Lviv they do brew good beer even tho ive been to munich and prague lol
Cool, awesome and insightful video about Lviv, I was planning to visit, but COVID19 travel restrictions got in the way! Hopefully, once travel restrictions ease out a little then I will be able to ravel.
Hope you make it there - Ukraine is a wonderful country and Lviv is very special - ill be publishing more content on Ukraine to go with my other Ukraine content when lockdown ends :)
Klassz video klassz hangulatos varos❤❤❤
Wow man fantastic, I am from South Africa, was in Kyiv last September, can you do something about Kharkov,
Hi Paul - I’ve got you covered :)
The video on Kharkiv is here >>
ua-cam.com/video/Lv8UKmfL7qQ/v-deo.html
I may go back and do another one though so watch this space :)
I’m in Lviv right now & actually followed some of your recommendations that appealed to me & I was not disappointed.
It was refreshing to see a legitimate video of ‘things to do’ (from someone who has actually been there a few times) vs. the usual ‘things to do’ videos from -arguably more well known travel vloggers (no offence) -who just stumble around town on their first visit and CALL IT ‘things to do’, when in actuality, their videos are just ‘some things we did’.
Good for you man. Even your inaugural Lviv video was entitled something like ‘my trip to Lviv’ rather than passing it off as some kind of things to do guide.
David - thanks for your kind message and great that you followed up on some of the things :)
Yes I’m a very small travel Vlogger compared to most on this platform. Talking of stumbling it was something I found myself doing for personal reasons I didn’t realise this many people would start watching the videos (yes I also appreciated my numbers are low compared to the majority but far larger than I expected).
I’m due to go back to Lviv in May so if you have any fresh recommendations from your recent trip it’s always appreciated :)
Hi, there are people on the Street in april?
There are people in the streets all year around. Depends on the context you are asking?
@@TheWonderingEnglishman because i want to visit lviv but think that it s a boring city
Really depends what you are after. The sites in this video and my other video on lviv pretty much sun up the city . The other video has more nightlife. If you are after nightlife then Kyiv is the place for you.
I also advice you to visit ivano-frankivsk, its much smaller than lviv but its a nice town i studied in school there for two years, from Kiev there is a daily flight to IF or train
The password to enter Kryivka must be Putin Huylo instead of Slava Ukraine
The guy who you saw with body guards is an owner of an new upcoming football club in ua called “Ruh Lviv” they made it to premiere league last year and got 9th place, this season they aiming for European cups ( Europa League) just fyi
Amazing information and great its finally answered after all this time!
You speak English so well, and do you live in Lviv?
@@YellowArrow because i live in USA since i was 11 but i was born near Lviv, Ukraine and then migrated to USA
@@sergiykozak7476 Oh nice! I live in Lviv but work for the US based company :)
@@YellowArrow oh thats cool bro, how do you like living in Lviv?
Keep it up
For some reason I didnt hear the name of the restaurant were you had ribs , please share the name. thanks, awesome video BTW..
Thank you Lesley. It used to be known as the Arsenal Ribs. But I've noticed it recently changed its name. Its new name is called Ribernia. Here is the TripAdvisor link for you - thanks for watching :) www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-d5975622?m=55595
Thanks for pointing out veg options, so many vloggers neglect to do this. Very laidback style, hoping to have similar vibe when I’m there!
Thank you for watching:)
More to come so hope I can keep you around :)
So i was born in lviv and migrated to the US when i was 12, again thanks for the video and my question is which city impressed you the most ? The one that stands out? Thank you
Honestly each one impresses me for different reasons. However, the main reason is the people which i always fail to show in my videos. However, I could happily Live in Lviv, Kyiv, Odesa and Kharkiv so that probably helps answer the question.
Also the president of ruh just build one of the best football academies in eastern europe plus its a hotel/resort/spa
It is curious that a lot of the architecture in the city looks Roman inspired, some of the key buildings you've shown, statues of roman gods, as well as the lions and fountains. I mentioned under another Lviv video that you could be in a piazza in Rome) Since freemasonry was born out of guilds of stone masons in medieval times perhaps the masons coming from elsewhere to build the city brought their masonic ideas and beliefs which you are seeing a trace of here. The secret passwords to enter bars and symbology you mentioned are all part of this) As a related aside I was invited to join a masonic lodge in my mid 20s but as I was more interested in meeting young attractive women whom would not be in attendance there I declined)))
A lot of Masons I think have passed through the city of Lviv and I reckon many still reside there. Beautiful buildings everywhere - I was asked a couple of times in the distant past but also like you never got involved in the Masons - pretty much why I'm an outsider and not on the inside when it comes to decisions for the society around us.
@@TheWonderingEnglishman Im amazed at how much the world seems to change in a short frame of time, who knows what will be around the corner, in the future perhaps you will get to shape society in some form if you so wish) Maybe you already are doing it through this channel) You might influence someone, who might cause a change) The butterfly flapping its wings ;)
Chaos theory a favourite of every kid who enjoyed Jurassic Park :)
@@TheWonderingEnglishman Haha) Yes I think they mentioned it in that film)
Curious, what dish is that at 37:25? Looks intriguing.
That my friend is a lviv desert
I couldn't for the life of me tell you the name of it. However, they do take their deserts seriously in Lviv :)
@@TheWonderingEnglishman ill be in Lviv in a few weeks. Looking forward to testing the favorites. Thanks for the great tips
You are welcome
Have a great time!
Дякую за чудове відео. Львів - містичне та чарівне місто. Запрошуємо усіх до України, крім росіян. Для мене englishman асоціюється з Тео Хачкрафтом.
Theo Hatchcraft?
@@TheWonderingEnglishman yes yes yes. Hurts is my favorite collective
Lviv actually has more diverse and interesting restaurants and cuisine than kiev i believe
As great as Lviv is. Kyiv wins with the choice of restaurants. Kyiv has so many types of restaurants.
because you always go to Lviv
Hence I could make a top things :)
Are you in Lviv at the moment...?
No - Sadly not - but I will return. Are you there?
The wondering Englishman Yep. I’ve got a month here for work, it’s a great place - keep up the good work with your videos.
I’m possibly there May 12th onwards (to be confirmed)
"Jeżeli przyjmiemy, że miasto ze swoimi budynkami, ulicami, parkami, świątyniami składa się na korpus zewnętrzny jakiegoś organizmu, a wypełniający te ulice, świątynie, budynki ludzie stanowią krew, która wypełnia ten organizm, to w czterdziestym piątym roku miastu Lwów otwarto żyły. Wypompowano stamtąd krew i wpuszczono inną: ludzi o innej mentalności, innym języku, odmiennej kulturze"
Operation Wisla 1947?
Die Stadt wurde vom Österreichisch-Ungarischen Reich erbaut.
Ruhe dich aus, Lodger.
Interestingly you didn't add your movie clips in the video - was this a one off? or are you going to add movie clips in the future? Also the book market in Lviv - are they're all in Ukrainian and Russian, or were there some in English? I wasn't particular keen on the spanking restaurant, I'm not sure I would prefer to get smacked after eating a meal and drinking large amounts of alcohol, so not something I would be particular keen on. Interestingly you have a new girlfriend in the video. I'm guessing she's Ukrainian. I remembered your Berlin video which had your old girlfriend, I'm guessing she was German. I like this, new countries, new girlfriends !! Coming back to the serious point, Ukraine doesn't catch the eyes of many tourists around the world, compared to western and central Europe. Is it because flights are expensive to Ukraine or is it the Ukrainian government are not putting enough efforts in attracting tourism around the world. Also what made you decide to go to Ukraine, was it something you saw on the internet, that made you come, or somebody told you about the country.
I figured this time i would try without the movie clips :)
It was very hard to resist :)
Just trying different things and also trying to make the videos shorter ! Even though this video is still x4 the length of a usual UA-camr video :)
The industry standard is usually 10mins.
It was more of a spanking bar - I cant say I ate there! One drink was enough!
Perpetually single really - no ties anywhere at least for now! Ukraine is becoming more and more popular by the year - I think it’s simply not as popular as you would think it could be simply because their Government doesn’t advertise as much as others. If anything it will go the ways of many other places and probably become over run by tourists soon. The way of the World!
@@TheWonderingEnglishman When you flew to Ukraine from the UK in September (Your Tripadvisor comment gave September 2018 in the video), would you say it was expensive or cheap like Easyjet or Ryanair?
Very cheap - I only fly when it’s a bargain :)
@@dee74raz you can fly to Lviv from London with Ryanair (Stansted) and Wizzair (Luton)
A few month after this video was uploaded this happened in Lviv - www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/former-scots-military-policeman-almost-20074724
The masonic symbol you reference all the time is just standard christian symbolism. The all seeing eye. Pretty standard stuff in non-anglican and non-protestant churches
The masons would disagree with you and ask why you are taking their symbolism away from them:)
You seem a big fan of post soviet countries. Time to learn Russian i think
It’s top of my list in terms of classes I must attend :)
I bet Lviv People hate hearing Russian though
@@Radek494
I was in Zakarpattia region last month. Didn't have any problem speaking Russian.
@@RovexHD Well obviously not everyone and not everywhere but many people in Western Ukraine don't like Russian language for political reasons
Suchar12
A lot are like that. I’ve not been to Galicia region so i don’t know.
Ugh...it looks like even Ukraine has chemtrails.
Sadly maybe true
28:08 did I hear MGTOW laughing?
Maybe he is Level 1 MGTOW ;)
LWÓW FROM TODAY IS BACK TO IT'S ROOTS !!! IT WAS, IS AND WILL BE ALWAYS POLISH !!! SLAVA !!! :D 🍻💪
If there will be something silly to protect my city I will leave London!
And Danzig and Breslau? Been to Lviv and Krakow . The atmosphere in Lviv is lively, unique, quirky and much more interesting and is a reflection of the Ukrainian character. Krakow is nice.
дуже попсові місця і не найтоповіші у Львові,
DeMur
EVERYONE IN THE WORLD KNOW IT IS POLISH TOWN THE SAME AS KREML IS RUSSIAN :) IT IS A FACT :) UKRAINE NEVER WAS, IS AND NEVER WILL BE. THERE'S NO SUCH A THING LIKE UKRAINE AND NEVER WAS IT SHOULDN'T EXIST AND NEVER WILL BE. PEOPLE FROM THAT REGION ARE POLISH, RUSSIAN AND BIALORUSIAN. THERE'S NO SUCH A THING LIKE UKRAINE :) IT'S HISTORICAL FACT. YOU CAN'T CHANGE HISTORY :) SLAVA !!! WOŁYŃ WE REMEMBER !!! SLAVA !!!
LVIV WAS, IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE POLISH CITY :)
THERE NEVER WAS, IS OR WILL BE COUNTRY UKRAINE. CHECK HISTORICAL FACTS :) UKRAINE IS WORD WE MADE UP FOR "BORDER LANDS" WE MADE THAT WITH RUSSIANS AND BIALARUSIANS. THERE NEVER WAS, IS AND NEVER WILL BE SUCH COUNTRY LIKE UKRAINE IT'S HISTORICAL FACT AND EVERYONE CAN CHECK THAT :)
Fact Lviv is a city in Western Ukraine. It was is and always will be part of Ukraine.
@@catnap387 🙈😆😂😂😂😂 hahaha ok, that's what You think 🙈😆😂😂😂
@@catnap387 There's no a such thing like country "Ukraine" - read ONZ documents. Half of "Ukraine" - border land belongs to Russia and Bialarus the other half is Polish lands. Learn true history and facts not your ukrainian propaganda. Educate yourself ! :)
