Foreword
The party is over... The great EURO 2012 celebration has come to the end, but we still hear in our
ears dozens of different languages, we still remember thousands of nice and kind smiles. We want
to thank every team, every fan, and everyone who
made this summer incredible and unforgettable!
But if you do not like football, or just could not come
to Lviv in June 2012; Lviv still has a lot to offer! This
is a city of unique old-world charm; the scene of
an accident where East broadsided West, but left
only a dent. With its remarkably preserved Renaissance architecture, gently bending streets and
hidden ancient niches, Lviv is a Ukrainian city with a
European soul.
Known as the centre of Ukrainian art and culture,
the city boasts many of the countrys brightest and
best museums, art galleries and theatres. It is also
Ukraines Mecca - there are magnificent and inspiring churches and cathedrals on just about every
corner. Although Lvivians have the reputation as
church-goers, they havent forgotten how to party.
Pubs, clubs, restaurants and coffee houses are
plentiful, and its usually a local whos stoking the
celebration into the early morning hours.
Lviv has had an enthralling and violent history.
Founded by King Danylo of Galicia in honour of
his son Lev in 1256, the city has had many rulers
including Poland, Sweden, the Austrian-Hungarian
Empire, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The
dubious HitlerStalin Pact of 1939 granted control
of Lviv to the Soviet Union. This occupation spurred
numerous resistance movements in the 1940s and
50s including the much celebrated and controversial Ukrainian Insurgent Army. With the fall of the
Soviet Union in 1991, freedom was finally seized.
Lviv continues to be a shining example of independence, and Ukraine owes much of its contemporary
identity to the stream of patriotism which emanates
from this radical western gem.
Vitayemo u Lvovi! Welcome to Lviv!

ARRIVING IN LVIV
By plane
Newly renovated in April 2012, Danylo Halytskyi Lviv International Airport is located 14 km to west of the city centre. Getting
around the citys gateway will not take you any efforts, signs both
in English and Ukrainian show the way and nothing here differs
from most of fine European airports. Tourist information booth is
located on the ground floor, with an information desk, customs,
telephones, lost and found, car rental booths, first aid, 24 hour
police services, waiting rooms, news stands and a bank. Cafs
and airline ticketing booths can also be found in this terminal.
Getting to town Taxis stands outside the main entrance of the
aiport. The 100Hr fare to centre is relatively cheap for Ukraine,
but the real bargain is by trolleybus 9 (1,25Hr) or marshrutka 48
(2Hr). Its about 20 minutes by taxi and 40 minutes by trolleybus.

32 229 81 12, www.airport.lviv.ua. Lost & Found tel.
(+380) 32 229 83 19.
By bus
All international buses arrive at Stryiskyi Avtovokzal; however,
some buses, including routes from Warsaw and Krakow, may
make a first stop in centre not far from Shevchenka prosp. Ask
your driver to be sure. At the bus station, ticket offices and schedules are located on the ground floor. Upstairs youll find a waiting
hall, a small hotel and a cafeteria. To find the left-luggage office,
head downstairs from the central hall. Stryiskyi Avtovokzal is
located relatively far from the city centre. Taxis are your obvious
quickest option; depending on your haggling skills, fares are available for as little as 50Hr. For an unbelievable value, take trolleybus
No. 5 to Shota Rustaveli Street (I-4) for the meagre fare of 1,25Hr.
Though it may be cramped, marshrutkas No. 3A, 9, 25 shuttle
passengers to centre for 2Hr. Bus No. 18 connects Stryiskyi
Avtovokzal with Lviv Holovnyi Train Station.

By train
With platforms wrapped in lofty steel awnings, run down
trains and suspicious glances, arriving to Lvivs central
rail station can be like stepping into a Cold War era spy
movie. Once the nostalgia has worn off, exit the platforms
by proceeding down the stairs then follow the exit signs to
the stations halls.
A currency exchange ( ), ticketing booths
() and schedules are located in the main hall. There is
also a floor plan displayed of services if you happen to get
disoriented. Express Bank with Western Union, telephones
and resting hall () No. 1 are located in the left wing. There
are three left luggage ( ) areas/lockers
available in the right wing. No. 1 is the largest and is the
only post that handles bags of all sizes. Depending on the
size of your bag, expect to pay from 5-20Hr per day. Police
services are also located in the right wing. Toilets are scattered throughout the building. The easiest to find are located
in the corridors leading to the platforms.
A gauntlet of taxi drivers await at the exit of the main hall.
A trip to centre should cost around 40Hr and Lvivs cabbies
are much friendlier and less scheming than those in other
major Ukrainian cities. The parking lot beyond the cabbies is
bustling with buses and mini-buses, most of which connect to
outlaying cities, towns and villages. Your best public transport
option is tram No. 1, which heads directly to city centre. The
same tram with a different name, No. 9, takes passengers
in the opposite direction from centre to the train station.

In Ukraine every car is a potential taxi - just hold your arm out on
any street if you dont believe us. Metered taxis dont exist, so
youll have to haggle over the price with your driver. Foreigners
are fighting an uphill battle in getting a fair price, but be sure
to settle on the amount before getting in to avoid giving the
impression of having bottomless pockets. Ordering a taxi by
phone can help you avoid surprises, as prices are usually fixed.

Public Transport
Almost all Lviv sights and places of interest are within easy
walking distance for even the most unfit and/or laziest of
people. However there is a wide web of trolleybuses (electric
buses), trams (streetcars), buses, microbuses and minivans,
which sometimes (especially in rush hours) are overcrowded.
Dont take the jostling personally, dont inhale too deeply but
do give up your seat to the elderly and mothers with children.
Trolleybuses and trams are favoured by schoolchildren, the
working class and babushkas and dedushkas. They wont get
you anywhere in a hurry, but they do provide an intriguing look
into everyday Ukrainian life. Single tickets for trolleys, trams
and buses can be purchased for 1.50Hr from conductors
and the driver on board. You should immediately validate your
ticket using one of the many punching gadgets around you.
If not, you risk being intimidated into paying a fine. All tickets
are good for one journey only.
The privately-owned marshrutkas () or route
taxis (usually yellow) stop at bus stops along specified routes.
Many run the same routes as trolleys or trams and use the
same numbers. Otherwise, try to read the main stops posted
on the vehicles windshield or side window before it speeds by.
Marshrutkas will definitely get you from A to B faster than other
forms of municipal transport, as they are smaller and more
manoeuvrable; an important feature on Lvivs narrow roads.
Just flag it down as you would a taxi, then tell the driver na
zupyntsi, budlaska (on the stop, please) when youve had
enough. Fares are paid as you board and currently costs 2Hr.

Visas
Citizens of the EU, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Vatican,
Iceland, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Georgia, Mongolia, the
U.S., Canada, Japan and the countries of the Commonwealth
of Independent States (CIS) - except Turkmenistan - can enter
Ukraine visa-free and stay up to 90 days. Everyone else needs
a visa, which must be obtained from a Ukrainian embassy or
consulate abroad before travelling. Visas can be processed in
as little as one day, with prices varying depending on the type
and length of visa requested. Many Ukrainian embassies only
handle visa cases on certain days of the week, so call ahead.
Travel to Russia is not so simple. All foreign visitors, with the
exception of citizens from selected countries of the CIS, must
obtain a visa. Upon arrival, you will need to fill in an immigration
card. If you are staying more that 72 hours, you will need to
register with the local police (hotels are usually willing to aid
in this process). Transit visas are also required. For additional
information, call (+380) 32 275 24 63.
Travel to Belarus is also a bit tricky. Citizens of the EU, Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Croatia can apply for
30-day single and multiple entry business and private visas
without an invitation. The rest of us need an invitation, or we
can book through a travel agency authorized to issue state
travel vouchers. All visitors are required to purchase national
medical insurance, and must register their passports with local police within three days of their arrival (hotels are usually
willing to aid in this process). Transit visas are also required.
For more information, call (+380) 322 37 27 30.
Moldova greatly relaxed its visa laws in 2007. Citizens of the EU,
Norway, Switzerland, Japan, Israel, Canada and the U.S. can enter
Moldova visa-free and stay up to 90 days. For all other visitors,
visas can be acquired at a Moldavian consulate or at the Chisinau
airport by presenting an application form and photos. All visitors
planning to stay more than 90 days need an invitation and visa.
For more information, call (+380) 44 280 77 21.
Citizens of the EU, Norway, Switzerland, Canada, the U.S., Japan,
Australia, Israel and a handful of Latin American countries can
enter Romania visa-free and stay up to 90 days. Citizens of
countries not on the list can obtain a visa at the Romanian consulate in Kyiv. For more information, call (+380) 44 234 00 40.
Poland, Hungary and Slovakia belong to the European
Schengen zone. Citizens of Canada, Mexico, the U.S., Israel,
Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore may
enter without a visa; however, the amount of time you are allowed to stay varies from country to country. All others must
apply for a visa at the consulate of destination country. For
more information call the following consulates: Polish (+380)
322 97 08 61, Hungarian (+380) 322 64 58 22, Slovakian

Crime and Safety

They say that Ukrainians can spot a foreigner from a kilometre
away. This fact alone will not automatically make you the target
of crime. Lviv is, in fact, a rather safe place. As in most cities,
flashing large amounts of cash can cause trouble. Wallets are
known to disappear in public transport crowds, so guard your
pockets at all times. Being very drunk and/or loud on the street
is always a good way to attract unwanted attention, especially
from the police. By the way, its a good idea for foreigners to carry
at least a copy of their passport and visa with them at all times.
Customs
If you are 18 years of age or over you can import, free of
customs duties and taxes, one litre of hard alcohol, two litres
of wine, 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 250 grams of tobacco.
Personal belongings are not subject to customs duties or taxes,
though a customs officer has the right to ask you to make a
written declaration in relation to them. (Avoid bringing unessential, valuable, personal items! A colleague of ours was told by a
customs officer to declare her wedding band. She declared the
value of the ring, and - to make a long story short - she ended
up paying a $200 bribe in order to avoid an outrageous duty.)
A person can bring in food products free of customs duties
and taxes if their total value does not exceed 50. However,
food products should not total more than two kilograms, and
there should not be more than one package of the same
product. Goods with a total value of less than 2000 may
be brought in free of customs duties and taxes. If the value
of your goods is greater than 2000, but less than 10000
they will need to be declared on a customs personal declaration form. If the value of the goods is greater than 10000,
the goods will be subject to clearance in accordance with
the import declaration requirements for imported cargo.
Cultural goods may be brought in if they are not subject to any
international alert and you have documents which prove your
right of ownership. To take such goods out of Ukraine you will
need to obtain relevant authorisation documents from the
State Service for Control Over the Passage of Cultural Values
Across the National Frontier of Ukraine (J-3, Smolskoho 10,
tel. (+380) 322 75 80 81/72 79 91.) All customs declarations,
filled out upon arrival to Ukraine, must be kept throughout the
period of your stay, and must be handed over upon departure.
This declaration can not be renewed if lost.
Drinking
Ukrainian beer (pyvo) is quite tasty and extremely cheap
to boot. Tipsiness may set in early, though, as its alcohol
content is higher than Western brands. Those preferring
Lviv, Lvov, Lww

Throughout its history, Lviv has had several names.
The city was known as Lww when the Poles ruled, the
Austro-Hungarian Empire called it Lemberg and Jewish
residents referred to it as Lemberik. Currently, many languages have their own spelling and pronunciation. This
is the case with Lviv (Ukrainian) and Lvov (Russian).
As the city immerged to become the centre of Ukrainian language and culture in the 1990s, the Ukrainian
version became increasingly common and useful, i.e.
using Lviv while searching the Internet will definitely
result in more hits.

Lviv In Your Pocket
foreign brands can find their favourites at finer shops and

establishments. Ukraine also produces a wide selection of
vodka, which flows freely at many parties and gatherings.
Beware if offered homemade vodka (samohon). While good
samohon can be better than some bootleg labels in shops,
the overall odds are against you and your stomach. Whether
its Ukrainian vodka or moonshine, be ready to offer a toast at
some point. A modest cheers (budmo) will do for a foreigner.
Electricity
Ukraine supplies its residents and visitors alike with electrical
current of 220 volts AC, 50Hz. All sockets require two round
pins, but not always of the same size. Many thinner Russian
sockets are being replaced by their European cousins. Those
with Russian sockets can buy a cheap adapter for their
European appliances. Adapters for more foreign electrical
societies are not easy to find in Lviv, so bring your own.
Floors
Ukrainians consider the floor on the ground to be the first
floor and so one.
Money
The national currency is the hryvnia (Hr), which replaced the transitional karbovanets on September 2, 1996. Dont be confused
if your amount is given in roubles. You havent been transported
to Russia or taken back in time to the USSR - some people just
have trouble letting go of the past! Paper bills carry denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, 200 and 500 hryvnias. There are
100 kopecks in a hryvnia, with 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 kopeck and 1Hr
coins. Youll have no problem finding currency exchange points,
but rates are better from central street kiosks. If its travellers
checks you need to cash, look for a big respectable-looking bank.
You can find a number of ATMs around Lviv and many hotels and
restaurants now take Visa and MasterCard - American Express
is not very popular. There have been scattered reports of credit
card fraud in upscale restaurants, though, so you may want to
think twice before charging it.
Smoking
Youre never too far away from a lit cigarette in Ukraine, and in
some bars and clubs the term second-hand smoke just doesnt
seem to matter. Smokers enjoy a ridiculously cheap selection of
cigarettes hawked by one of the many babushkas and corner
kiosks that are located throughout the city. But a new more rigorous law on smoking prohibition takes effect nationwide on December 16, 2012. It sets a total ban on smoking in restaurants,
bars, clubs and cafes (except open terraces), cultural, medical,
educational and sport institutions (including playgrounds and
stadiums), public transport (including stops), underpasses
(subways), and inside apartment buildings (including stairs and
lifts). All other premises and buildings (including hotels, hostels,
airports, railway terminals) should have designated smoking
areas equipped with exhaust ventilation. The law also sets fines
from 5110,000Hr for anyone breaking the law.
Toilets
Public restrooms are a sore, dirty and not very aromatic subject in Lviv. Make it a rule to go before you leave the hotel and
after each caf/restaurant you visit and you should be fine;
pay toilets are in short supply in centre. If you think you can just
pop in to McDonalds and take care of business, think again.
You must first place an order then open the bathroom door
by punching in the code located on the receipt. Good luck.

Nino Katamadze & INSIGHT

10 December, 2012; 19.30
Lviv Opera and Ballet Theatre (Svobody prosp. 28)
Nino Katamadze & INSIGHTis complex, intelligent, and unearthly
music. It is a detailed philosophical story about life. Songs by the
group make you wonder about the eternity of life, and cause you
to think, sympathize and hope. It is intelligent music for serious
art lovers. The new album Green by Nino & INSIGHTappears
exactly one year after their album Red. Now the Georgian
musicians have returned to a more balanced form of music. It is
energy turned inwards not outwards. With Red new numbers
are united by not only a phenomenal singing voice, but also by
her colleagues interaction with top musicians and instrumentalists. Despite the recent criticism in the music press that the
music is too stereotyped, the audience loves Nino, primarily for
her ability to go down to the most primitive melodic level, for
the ability to pour out her soul with simple but plaintive lyrical
melodies coming from Georgian music which are relevant in any
part of the universe.

Restaurants
Lvivs dining scene is a reflection of the citys incredibly rich
and diverse history. Every corner of global cuisine is represented (French, Greek, Italian, Viennese, Jewish, Asian,
American, Latin, etc.), and local Ukrainian and Halytska
(Galician) restaurants are among the finest in Ukraine. In
the historic centre, youre never more than a couple steps
away from your next dining experience, and the standard
of service is excellent. With so many establishments to
choose from, we hope that this guide serves as the solution to the overwhelming question: Whats for dinner?

become something of a legend in Lviv. It is located on 7 small
floors with a real Trabi sitting on the roof top terrace with a
great view of old Lviv. Each floor has a different theme telling
the story of liviv. One room has the clocks, another depicting the lions of Liviv, another tunnels, etc. No visit to Lviv is

The Garbuz is a lovely place to get ready made food. It is very
delicious, of good quality, and inexpensive. One cannot miss
it; the front door is very unusual, like opening a giant pumpkin.
This restaurant has its own original style; with massive oak
tables, metal made into whimsical lamps, and the royal chairs.
It is actually an indescribable design. We strongly suggest
viewing the web site. At lunch time, the tempo moves quickly.
In the evening it is another story. The Pumpkin is transformed
into a cosy pub with fresh draft beer and a lots of TV monitors
for sports fans. QOpen 10:00 - 23:00, Sat 11:00 - 23:00, Sun

Hors C-4, Staroyevreiska 5, tel. (+380) 32 235 41 57,
www.hors.com.ua. Hors was the Slavic god of the winter
sun whom ancient Lvivian pagans associated with healing
and survival. The stairs leading to the restaurant have been
described as fifteen stairs to the 15th century. You are not
entering a basement, this is actually a renovated section of
an ancient catacomb and the rocks that line the base of the
arched walls were set in the 15th century. The unique mysterious atmosphere is definitely worth checking out, but dont
get too distracted as the menu offers its own intrigue with
items like salmon with spinach, steaks and dishes dedicated
to the Slavic gods. Live music is performed Thursday-Sunday.

Robert Doms, an aristocratic young Swiss man, brought his
brewing talent to Lviv Brewery in the 1850s. Every morning a
young Lvivian maiden named Zosia would bring Robert a five
litre tankard of the previous days brew, which he would guzzle
(a crude but effective means of quality control). With the help
of his extremely thick beer-goggles, Robert soon fell in love
and married Zosia. The pub, located in one of Lviv Brewerys
cellars (a 15 minute walk from centre) is a fitting tribute to

Robs contribution to Lvivs beer industry and to his and Zosias touching romantic tale. The energy here is unmatched
in Lviv and live music echoes through the cellars halls nightly.
With hearty Ukrainian meals served for up to six, the fantastic
menu encourages a communal dining experience. Who knows,
guzzle enough fresh brew and you too might hook-up with your
own Zosia. QOpen 12:00 - 24:00. AEGS
Medivnia B-3, Krakivska 17, tel. (+380) 32 272 91 41.
The name Medivnia translates Honey Brew. It is located in
the heart of the old city. The interior design is fascinating, with
pictures, and artifacts of old Ukraine. There are several rooms
and the total seating capacity is 70. The cuisine is a large
variety of traditional Ukrainian dishes, meat, poultry, fish, and
vegetables. The Ukrainian ribs with honey sauce was delicious!
There is an English menu, though it takes some effort to understand the Ukrainian-English. It was a lot of fun actually as
the server was very friendly. We forgot something at our table,
and the server went out of his way to find someone who could
speak English and had them call the number on my business
card. This doesnt happen that often in Ukraine. The house
speciality is called medovukha, an alcoholic drink steeped in
natural honey and herbs, which has been brewed the same way
since the 18th century. It was the traditional brew drunk by the
Cossacks. Medivnia has very reasonable prices and is a place
we would love to return to. QOpen 09:00 - 23:00. PAGB

a restaurant is by the number of forks set near the
plate: this place had four. The dining area is decorated
with classic prints and exciting original paintings by local artists. The chefs dedication to flavour, aroma and
presentation is tremendous; go with the understanding
that quality takes time, and that all available Galician and
European dishes are well worth the wait. The menus
highlights include one of the citys best seafood selections, Hungarian style veal goulash and the Lviv pie, which
is so sophisticated it must be ordered 24hrs in advance.

Porokhova Vezha D-3, Pidvalna 4, tel. (+380) 32
276 51 62. This popular eatery can be a bit tricky to find.
Its located across the street from the Dominican Cathedral
in the ancient looking fortress with the two smirking lions
perched on the steps. Enter through the north side. Locals
and travellers alike are attracted by the reasonable priced
Ukrainian favourites and snug atmosphere perfect for enjoying
a glass of wine. The summer terrace with shashlyk grill is a
popular cooling-off/filling-up point for hikers ascending and

In the restaurant area youll be offered a Salo Art Menu which
contains some uniquely sculptured forms of salo. (FYI-Salo is
pure pig fat, a Ukrainian delicacy) We liked the chocolate covered salo! There is live music, DJ or something going on every

looking to sample the local cuisine. The only drawbacks are
its locale, just far enough from old town to make you think
twice, and the prices are slightly above average. Many of the
main courses - king salmon steak, Cossack beefsteak, pork
ribs - are priced per 100 grams. Traditional soups, salads and
horilka (vodka) are plentiful and the fresh squeezed juices and
chocolate cake are worth adding to the order. Banquets can
be booked for up to 25, and the banquet menu is loaded with
delights such as stuffed sturgeon, baked piglet and specialty
duck, goose and turkey dishes. Menus in English are available

are all represented on the menu, the delicious authentic
Armenian is what sets this place apart. We recommend taking a seat in the basement near the flavourful mangal (grill),
where chefs meticulously roast Lulya kabob, mutton shashlyk,
sea trout and other traditional delicacies. If you would like to
keep the good times rolling after hours, it will set you back
150Hr per hour. Also, its definitely worth keeping this eatery
in mind for breakfast; the omelettes and crpes come with
Georgian
Staryi Tiflis (Old Tbilisi) J-3, Pekarska 28, tel.
(+380) 32 276 61 11. Georgians are known throughout
Eastern Europe as masters of the grill, and the chefs at
Staryi Tiflis uphold this stereotype. Chicken wings, lamb,
pork, veggies and even beef tongue are all roasted to
perfection over open flames. Whenever pouring snifters
of cognac, a friend of ours from Tbilisi likes to joke, Its
always useful to keep a bottle of French or Armenian
cognac around the house - you need something to clean
the glasses out before pouring the good Georgian stuff.
Indeed, Georgians are extremely proud of their cognac
and aromatic wines, and Staryi Tiflis has some of the
better brands on hand. They also keep some French and
Armenian behind the bar in case you notice some spots
on your glass. QOpen 11:00 - 23:00. PAVGSW

in order to keep me from falling face first into the plate. The
previous night had been a wild one (as is often the case in

The shurpa (mutton soup) was some of the best weve

the peep-hole to this theme caf/restaurant and says
Slava Ukraini (Glory to Ukraine), thats your cue to respond
Heroyam slava (Glory to its heroes). This was the greeting used by soldiers of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA)
as they waged guerrilla war against the Nazis, Poles and
Soviet Union from 1943-49. Its also your ticket past the
guard. Once inside, youll find a fascinating and jovial bunker
complete with grenades, rifles and other military antiques.
Just as the UPA was immensely popular in Lviv, so is this
eatery dedicated to the memory of their sacrifice. Tables

the live Jazz featured just about every night. We arrived
late Saturday afternoon and a jazz pianist was already
pounding the keys. Some locals had smuggled in litres of
beer in plastic bottles, but this is blatantly unnecessary.
The menu has everything you need and then some. We
had a cappuccino and a feri-fire (flaming rum doused with
an espresso) and did our best to blend with intellectuals,
artists and university kids trying hard not to fit in. Seating is limited, but its worth waiting for a free table. Once

ages. In the 19th century, chocolate was exported from Lviv
to aristocracy throughout Europe. There is a small caf at the

coffee to choose. All the chocolate candies made here can be
sampled before you go to the shop. Milkshakes, ice cream,
cakes and snacks are awaiting you as well. Also on the ground

Lviv. Downstairs, we go to the mine entrance where we put on
a miners hat with a lamp and a rather heavy battery pack. We
then journey through the dim mine, avoiding the wagons of
freshly mined coffee. We stop along the way at little pockets

Masoch enjoyed playing the role of the slave and insisted that
his dominatrixes wear furs. In fact, the word masochism was
coined from his name. The menu, which can be purchased as a
souvenir (in Ukrainian only), is loaded with fabulous and unusual
dishes. If your husband is having difficulties deciding on a meal,
hes probably too distracted by the pornography that appears
on the menu and you should order for him. Hes sure to appreciate the bulls testicles in an oil and sweet pepper sauce. They
boast the best fondue in town and the waitresses will handcuff

Nightlife
Lvivs clubs attract a diverse crowd, and you should be
able to blend in quite easily. The great thing about partying
in Eastern Europe is that the locals are arguably more
awkward on the dance floor than we are in the west, so
shrug off you inhibitions and convulse to the beat. Warning: Locals are overtly friendly and often invite foreigners
to party at their table. Weve learned from repeated experience that its impossible for a westerner to keep pace with
locals when it comes to shooting horilka (vodka). Slow
and steady wins the horilka race.

pub. Its not uncommon to see whole families converge for
lunch at the weekend: dads gulp beers, moms gossip and
kids frolic under tables. Evening ushers in a new crowd, but
the mood remains relaxed even when local football matches
are shown. Dont leave without trying one of their signature
beer cocktails: beer and Fanta is a Ukrainian classic, but the
Devils Brew (beer, cognac, salt, pepper and lemon) and the
Island Paradise (beer, vodka, Malibu, gin and pineapple juice)
are sure to leave an unforgettable impression. If you can still
talk after downing one of these unique concoctions, order
from a menu full of munchies, soups, salads, steaks and
desserts. It can be hit and miss with the food - the soup was
scrumptious, but the wings were salty enough to kill a horse.

One might expect that with an even number address (26) the
establishment would be located on the even number side of
the street - not the case. When you reach 28 Ivana Franka
look across the street and youve arrived. A popular locals
hang, the offering of brew bursts at the keg welds compared
to the scant selection of Ukrainian fare. However, flavour
swirls up from the grill, fills the halls and rushes through the
open courtyard tying knots of anticipation in the guts of eager
patrons. The wings, ribs and shashlik are all worthy of mention. QOpen 11:00 - 23:00. PILGBS

Essential Lviv
Arsenal D-4, Pidvalna 5, tel. (+380) 32 235 86 61. The
city arsenal and its adjoining defensive walls are visible from Arsenal vul. Construction on the original two-storied stone building
began in the 14th century, but was not completed until 1555.
After nearly two centuries of toil this original structure was
completely destroyed by fire after only 16 years of operation,
and the contemporary building was constructed in its place
from 1574-75. When the Swedes invaded in 1704 the arsenal
took a beating, but all holes were patched within two years. In
the 18th and 19th centuries the arsenal was refortified and lost
some of its original form. Most recently, two of the upper floors
were restored and now house a museum. Parts of the exterior
have been excavated in order to reveal original walls, windows
and roof. The distinctive defensive trench has been also been
preserved. Throughout its working history the arsenal served
as Lvivs defensive backbone. A smelting-house was located
next to the arsenal and cast weapons for storage and for sale.
The swords forged in Lviv gained the reputation as some of the
best in Europe. In the 18th Century the arsenal was also used
as a prison. QOpen 10:00 - 17:30. Closed Wed. Admission

a product of long-term absorption by the stone of dust, dirt
and smoke that swirled about the market (coal was used to
heat homes until the 1960s). The name Black Stone House
didnt always apply, it was previously known as Kyiv Stone
House and Doctors Stone House. In 1926 the building was
bought by the city and a branch of Lvivs historical museum
was soon established. QOpen 10:00 - 16:30. Closed Wed.
Admission 10Hr, students and kids - 5Hr.
Black Stone House
City Hall
City Hall (Ratusha) C-4, Rynok pl. 1. The first city hall
was established on Rynok ploscha (Market Square) in the

middle of the 14th century. Constructed of wood, it was levelled by fire in 1381. A new hall was erected in the early 15th
century. The contemporary building is a conglomeration of
the 15th century structure and three major expansions. The
stone tower that hovers above the hall is the second of its
kind. The original was erected in 1619, but by the beginning of
the 19th century was deemed unstable and demolished. The
65 meter high replacement is a replica of the original. Pace
yourselves, its 306 steps up to the viewing platform. In 2008
a local pornographer boldly used City Halls roof as a backdrop
for photos, which were splashed all over the Internet. This
embarrassment led local authorities to implement stricter
security measures including the installation of surveillance
cameras. Smile youre being watched by a Ukrainian security cop. Q Admission to the city hall tower - 5Hr.
Italian Yard (Italiyskyi dvoryk) C-3, Rynok pl. 6, tel.
(+380) 322 74 33 04. This romantic hotspot is located
within the Kornjakt Palace on Rynok pl. Lvivians, visitors to
the palaces museum and random pedestrians are magnetically drawn to this open-air coffee lovers oasis. Completely
severed from the complexities outside, the carved stone and
shaded balconies reek of Italian Renaissance. The mellow
music and delectable fragrances make for a truly special
caf experience. If it all looks familiar, youve probably seen
the courtyard one of the many local and foreign films that
shot scenes here. Concerts are occasionally staged here;
the courtyard is known for its uncanny acoustic resonance.
QOpen 10:00 - 17:30. Closed Wed. Admission 2Hr.
King Jan III Sobieski Palace (Palats Kornjakta) C-3,
Rynok pl. 6. This is a unique monument of the Renaissance
period, one of only a few existing in Ukraine, and is the largest
structure on Rynok pl. Until the late 16th century the area
on which the palace stands was occupied by two smaller
buildings, which were purchased by a Greek merchant named
Constantine Kornjakt. He subsequently ordered the reconstruction of the two houses into a new grandiose edifice.
Fragments of the older structures have been preserved and
include the Gothic hall (an unmatched sample of Lvivs Gothic
influence) and the cross-sectional support beams that hold
the third floor ceiling. Following Kornjakts death, the house
was taken over Jakub Sobieski, the father of the future Polish king Jan III. From this time on the house served as a royal
roost. In 1634 the residence was occupied for a short time by
Wladyslaw IV, the Polish conqueror who occupied Moscow and
seized the Russian crown.The Polish-Russian Eternal Peace
Treaty (anything with a name this lofty deserves to fail) was
signed at the palace in 1686. Since 1908 the building has
housed a museum. One of the brightest expositions of any of
the citys museums, the Royal Chambers, can be found here.

What to see
Ploscha Rynok
The palaces Italian Yard is a Lvivian favourite and is not to
be missed. Q Admission 8Hr, children - 3Hr.
Market Square (Ploscha Rynok) C-3/4. Time and
space gush through old towns veins and swirl round Rynok
ploscha: a cobbled whirlpool of colour and sound. With its
stunning palaces, fountains, statues, crowds, cafs and
pack of lethargic stray dogs Rynok Square is the heart of this
magnificent city. Throughout the Middle Ages stone weights
and balances clanked with each sale, livestock pleaded and
villains writhed in pain at the punishment stake. Amazingly,
within this relatively small area there are 45 protected architectural monuments. Each structure has its own captivating
history, but the oldest and most commonly wowed-about are
Chorna Kamianytsa (Black Stone House) and Kornjakt Palace
(also called King Jan III Sobieski Palace). Regardless the era,
the government has always kept a keen eye on the square.
The imposing structure in the middle is City Hall
Ruska Street C/D-4. Ruska vul. has been an established
thoroughfare since the Middle Ages. Connecting Rynok
ploscha (Market Square) with Pidvalna vul. (Rampart Street),
the street is so narrow that only one street car can travel at
a time. Blending a fascinating array of architectural styles,
Ruska is one of the most striking streets in the old city. For
centuries this remained Lvivs centre of Orthodox Christianity.
During Polish rule, this was the only street where an Orthodox believer was allowed to own real estate. From Ruska
there was a passage to an old Jewish ghetto. Residents
constructed walls and a gate, which was secured at night in
order to protect from pogroms. If theres a building that stands
out its No. 4. Constructed in the 16th century, an old-Austrian
style caf called Synia Pliashka sits in the court yard and the
building itself is currently occupied by the Gerdan Art Gallery.

The Opera House A-2, Svobody prosp. 28, tel. (+380)

322 72 88 60, www.lvivopera.org. Many European theatres
can boast an extraordinary construction history, but Lvivs opera
house is unique in that it is built on top of a river. The Poltva
River flows beneath the stage and continues through centre
deep beneath the asphalt (no doubt a contributor to the many
sinkholes that tend to startle foreign visitors). By the end of the
19th century Lviv was a bourgeoning city eager for a Europeanclass theatre. The project was put up for tender and many top
European architects tossed in their bids. It was Polish architect
Zygmunt Gorgolewski - designer of Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge in
Berlin, the Gemldegalerie in Dresden and the Vienna State
Opera - who proposed the radical and intriguing idea of burying
the small river beneath the opera. His plans also included the
use of a concrete foundation, a first for Europe. With optimistic
trepidation, the city planners agreed and the Opera House was
completed in 1900. The building began to sink right away, but
settled in the decades that followed. It is believed that knowledge of this flaw led to Gorgolewskis depression, legendary
suicide attempt and eventual death of heart disease.The official
opening performances included a ballet, opera-drama and a
comedy. The most fitting of the three was the opera entitled
Janek. Written by Wadysaw eleski, it detailed the lives of
Carpathian mountain-dwellers. The contemporary professionals
that call the Opera House home include a 90-piece symphonic
orchestra, more than 40 world-class opera soloists, a choir and
a ballet troupe. The structures stunning main faade is widely
recognized and appears on the citys emblem and is also displayed on the 20Hr note. Matinees usually begin at 11:00 and
evening performances at 18:00.
Churches & Cathedrals

St. George Cathedral (Sobor Sviatoho Yura) G-3,
Svyatoho Yura pl. 5. This Greek Catholic cathedral, constructed in 1744-1761, is a remarkable example of Rococo
architecture. Located at the height of St. George Mount, the cathedral dominates the surrounding area, but doesnt clash with
the landscape. The main faade is set-off by a portal watched
over by St. Athanasius and St. Leo (works by renowned sculptor
Johann Georg Pinzel). In the cathedral itself, there lies a crypt
where celebrated figures of the Ukrainian church are entombed.
A park is nestled behind the palace and features a distinctive
bell tower, which houses a remarkable bell. Cast in 1341, it is
the oldest bell in Ukraine. The cathedral grounds are extremely
calming and its hard to imagine that hard times once prevailed.
Following the death of metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsky in March
1946, Soviet authorities coerced church leaders to denounce
Rome and join the Russian Orthodox Church. Justice prevailed
in 1989 as the Greek Catholic Church re-established itself and
resumed operation of the cathedral. The last major event to
take place at St. George happened 2001. While visiting Lviv,
Pope John Paul II lived in the Metropolitans Palace.
The Armenian Cathedral (Virmenskyi Sobor) C-3,
Virmenska 7. The history of Lviv is a tapestry woven by more
than 100 nationalities. Armenians began inhabiting the city
in the 14th century and quickly established their own quarter
complete with a small cathedral completed in 1370. This
original building perished in the fire of 1527. The structure
that stands today blends a few architectural styles including
Old Russian, Gothic and Armenian. The original bell tower was
erected in 1571, but was later toppled by the Turks during a
siege. The 19th century version of the bell tower is a restoration of the original. The courtyard provides a tranquil setting
for the decorative column and figure of St. Christopher. The
neighbouring buildings are those of a former Armenian bank,
established in the 17th century, and Lvivs oldest pawnshop.

Opera House
Ruska 7. This vibrant example of Renaissance architecture
has served as the centre of the Orthodox Christian faith for
centuries. In the middle of the 16th century, the Assumption
Brotherhood was founded here along with a printing press
and a school. The church has experienced many episodes
of ruin and reconstruction. The first Assumption Church was
constructed of wood in 1344, but was destroyed by fire during
an attack on Lviv by Polish feudal lords in 1350. The second
church was built of stone in 1421 and experienced a relatively
peaceful existence until it too was levelled by the great fire of
1527. (With the exception of City Hall and one other structure,
the fire of 1527 devoured the entire city.) The replacement
was completed in 1559 and, you guessed it, was completely
destroyed by fire in 1571. The danger posed by fire was apparently driven home and the cathedral constructed in 1591
has survived until the present. Also located on the premises
are Kornjakts Tower and the Chapel of Three Prelates.
The Bernardine Cathedral and Monastery D-5, Soborna pl. 1-3. The Bernardine Cathedral and Monastery is one
of the most inspiring sites in Lviv. The area around which the
monastery stands has evolved over the years, but the monastery itself remains as architect Pavlo Rimlyanin envisioned. Constructed in the 17th century, the cathedrals faade is protected
by statues of the sacred order of Bernardine and the niches of
the second tier hold images of Mary, Jesus and apostles Peter
and Andrew. Be respectful, of course, but dont be afraid to drop
in on a prayer session. The cathedrals magnificent interior is
stirring. Originally located outside the city walls, the monastery
had its own defences. A section of the original protective wall
remains and can be viewed from Pidvalna vul.The impressive
column that stands before the cathedral supports a sculpture
of St. Jan and was constructed in 1736. Originally from a small
settlement named Dukla, Jan rose to prominence in Lviv where

What to see
he died in September 1484 at the age of 60. He was quickly
canonized. The monument was established in memoriam to
those on the Polish side who perished during the Khmelnytskyi
Uprising. In 1648 allied armies led by Ukrainian Hetman Bohdan
Khmelnytskyi invaded the Carpathian region in an attempt to
seize control from the Poles. One of the campaigns goals was
the complete eradication of Roman Catholic priests. Legend has
it that during a purge St. Jan appeared from the heavens and
protected the targeted group of priests. Much speculation exists
concerning controversial events that have taken place within the
monastery and its cells. One of the more famous cases concerns
a letter missive (sanction of trade) addressed to Dracula.
The Chapel of the Boim Family (Kaplytsia Boimiv)
C-4, Katedralna pl. 1, tel. (+380) 32 274 40 47. Constructed in the early 17th century on the grounds of what was
a city cemetery; this quaint structure was originally intended
for use as a crypt by the Boim family. George Boim, a Lviv
merchant and moneylender of Hungarian origin, started the
project and his son, Paul-George, put the finishing touches on
what would become a permanent feature in Lvivs stunning
centre. The side of the chapel is decorated with fretwork
that gives the impression that the entire structure has been
turned inside-out. Fresco portraits of George Boim and his
wife Jadwiga can be viewed from Halytska vul. The site has
been protected by UNESCO since the 1970s. QOpen 10:00
- 17:00. Closed Mon. Admission 10Hr, children 5Hr.
The Dominican Cathedral (Dominicanskyi Sobor)
D-3, Museina pl. 1. The foundation of the Dominican Monastery

dates back to the second half of the 13th century when Constance, the wife of Lev I of Galicia, commissioned the construction of a small wooden church in gratitude for the generosity of
the local Dominican monks. Eventually destroyed by fire in 1408,
a Gothic-era stone church was constructed in its place. The
monastery, which could accommodate more than 100 monks,
experienced its heyday beginning in 1612 when it become
the central monastery of the Eastern European Dominican
Order. In 1742 cracks were detected in the cathedrals arch. An
emergency meeting was convened and all rescue options were
exhausted. Demolition commenced in 1749. Construction on
the new cathedral, designed by architect Jan de Witte, began
shortly after. The bell tower was constructed in 1865. During
the Soviet era the site was used as a regional archive and as a
school for would be printing workers. After restoration in 1972
the Dominican Monastery opened as a museum dedicated to
the history of religion and atheism; the atheists have since left
the building. Religious services have also resumed.
The Latin Cathedral (Latynskyi Sobor) C-4,
Katedralna pl. 1. This is a spectacular example of ancient
Lvivs Gothic influence. Officially known as the Archcathedral
Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, its
understandable why most just call it the Latin. Constructed in
1360, a relic was incorporated into the first foundation stone
by King Kazimir the Great. Both the interior and exterior have
evolved throughout the centuries, but the sanctuary and
altar have remained unchanged. The cathedral was severely
damaged in the fire of 1527. During its restoration in the 18th
century, Baroque forms replace those of the Gothic era. The
marvellous stained glass windows were incorporated at the
end of the 19th century. A cemetery once existed on and
around what is now Katedralna ploscha (Cathedral Square).
In 1765 all burials were relocated and further burials forbidden. The cemeterys chapel, the Chapel of the Boim Family,
remains on the site and is a protected historical monument.
Pope John Paul II attended mass here on June 26th, 2001.
The St. Peter and Paul Church of the Jesuit Order

(Kostiol Jezuitiv) B-4, Teatralna 11. Located with its
back turned to Svobody prosp. and the monument of aras

Shevchenko, this is considered one of the more mystical places
in Lviv. Much like the Jesuits themselves, the structure is meant
to be kept an enigma and random tourists will find it difficult to
gain full access. The church was constructed in the beginning of
the 17th century and is modelled after the classic Church of the
Ges in Rome. The size of the church is impressive: 41 metres
long, 26 metres high and 22.5 metres wide. Lvivs founding
Jesuits are historically characterized as aggressive missionaries
who quickly established a devout following. The sect was also
known for its savvy in the area of property development. When
they first settled in Lviv in the 16th century they possessed
absolutely no property. When Austria ordered the abolition of
the Jesuits 1848, the Lviv brotherhood owned property worth
up to one million thalers (big bucks for that time). A section of
the premises is currently occupied by the Lviv Scientific Library
and is used as an archive. Q Excursion starts every hour from

What to see
History in Stone
Arriving in a city for the first time, most sane travellers

dont head straight for the local cemetery. But Lviv is
unique in many ways, and one of the citys most distinctive, beautiful and historic locales is the Lychakivske
Cemetery. Believe it or not, this is an ideal location to
begin your exploration of Lvivs diverse history, fascinating
culture and stunning art: what Pre Lachaise is to Paris,
Lychakivske is to Lviv.
Officially established in 1786 by Austro-Hungarian authorities, the first burials actually took place in the 16th
century. Since then, more than 400,000 inhabitants have
been laid to rest beneath these hallowed and enigmatic
grounds. Grave markers hold mournful tributes inscribed
in Ukrainian, Russian, German, Polish, Armenian and
Latin - evidence of the citys diversity and turbulent past.
Throughout the 19th century, plots were reserved by elite
and middleclass families, artisans, scientists, spiritual
leaders and politicians.
For obvious reasons, this trend shifted during the Soviet era, and resulted in a fascinating contrast: wedged
between ancient chapels and elite family crypts stand
simple monuments, tributes to departed communists.
Communal graves of soldiers and freedom fighters can
also be found. The most renowned is the grave of the
Lww Eaglets. The Eaglets were Polish child soldiers who
defended Lviv during the Polish-Ukrainian War (19181919). Lviv was ultimately seized by the Soviet Union
in 1939; the grave was desecrated and turned into a
dump in 1971.
Despite opposition by Ukrainian nationalists, the site
was restored and reopened in 2005. Lychakivske is
a protected historical monument. This is a much deserved designation, as it rivals many of Europes ancient
necropolises in not only size, but in the beauty of its
sculptures. Visitors are often stopped in their tracks by
the remarkable statue of an angle gazing sadly towards
heaven. Grief, strength and sacrifice are the dominant
themes represented in these gripping monuments. Plan
on spending at least a few hours if you hope to see them
all, and for those with time limitations the sculptures
located at the graves of Armenian Archbishop Samuel
Stefanowicz, Dr. Jzef Torosewicz and actress Regina
Markovsky (Sleeping Beauty) are not to be missed.

paintings of renowned 20th century Ukrainian masters. Tours

Religion History Museum D-3, Museina pl. 1, Dominican Cathedral, tel. (+380) 32 272 91 00. This distinctive
museum displays exhibits representing Ukraines national
religions and is located with the Dominican Cathedral. The
cathedral was originally constructed in the second half of
the 13th century by Constance, the wife of Lev I of Galicia, in
recognition of Lvivs gracious Dominican monks. The museum
opened in 1972 and was dedicated to the history of religion
and atheism; the atheists have since left the building. There
are more than 50 thousand exhibits and include a magnificent
assembly of icons from the 16th-19th centuries, an impressive set of Torahs and Bibles and voluminous displays of
Russian old prints. One of the museums most valuable pieces
is Ivan Fyodorovs Ostroh Bible. Fyodorov, an exiled Muscovite,
established Ukraines first printing press in Lviv. Works by
numerous renowned theologians from Ukraine and abroad
representing Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, Judaism and
other religions are on display in the library. An archaeological
exhibition entitled The Museums Treasure is located in the
cellar. The cathedral also hosts concerts and organ recitals.

The Ancient World and the Middle Ages C-4, Rynok
pl. 24, tel. (+380) 322 72 08 74. The building that houses
this branch of the Lviv History Museum is a fabulous example
of 16th century Renaissance architecture. The collection
spotlights the history of Western Ukraine from ancient times
to the Middle Ages and includes introductions to Lvivs foundation in the 13th century by King Danylo Halytsky and the plight
of western Ukrainians under the rule of controversial hetman
Bohdan Khmelnytskyi. QOpen 10:00 - 17:30. Closed Wed.
Admission 3Hr, students and senior citizen 2Hr.
The Pharmacy Museum Pid Chornym Orlom C-3,
Drukarska 2, tel. (+380) 322 72 00 41. If you havent noticed by now, Ukrainians love pharmaceuticals. Theres a drug
store on practically every corner of every city! The foundation
of a museum dedicated to the apothecary is very fitting. The
Pharmacy Museum is located in a drugstore established in 1735
by a military pharmacist. The drugstore remains in operation and
continues to mix its signature Iron wine used to treat anaemia.
This distinctive angular house on the corner of Drukarska and
Stavropihiyska hosts an exposition of more than 3,000 articles.
The most curious of which are the pharmaceutical scales located
in the opening hall. The second hall was originally used as a
stockroom and currently displays pharmaceutical instruments
from a variety of epochs. Within the third hall youll discover an
ancient laboratory that was reproduced on the basis of pictures
and engravings. An apartment house belonging to one of Lvivs
16th century petty bourgeois has been reconstructed in the
internal court yard. QOpen 10:00 - 17:00. Admission 5Hr,
students and senior citizen 3Hr.
The Weapon Museum Arsenal D-4, Pidvalna 5,
tel. (+380) 32 235 86 61. Establishing a weapons museum at the Arsenal was a no-brainer for city planners. Its
a brisk walk up the hill, but the fascinating array of swords,
daggers, spears, lances, fire-arms, armour and other military
equipment make the climb well worth it. The collage of locally
crafted weapons and armour really stirs the imagination. The
museum has also acquired samples of ancient weapons from
around the world. Chronologically organised by weapon type,
youll have no problems finding your own way around and your
whacky uncle will definitely spring at the chance to be photographed in authentic knights armour. QOpen 10:00 - 17:30.

BUKOVEL
Ski slopes
Located in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, 30km west of Yaremche Bukovel is Ukraines largest ski resort. With high-speed
chair lifts, meticulously groomed slopes, snow-making machines and ubiquitous security personnel, it is also Ukraines
first European-class resort. Indeed, its rather unusual to see
this degree of organisation in Ukraine. Bukovel has been
carefully planned to make skiing enjoyable and convenient queues longer than five minutes are rare.
This mountain is booming! Over the next few seasons Bukovel
plans to have 278km of trails and 35 lifts, which would make it
one of the 20 largest ski resorts in the world. At the start of this
season, 16 lifts and 50km of runs were available. Check out their
website for more information including current snow conditions.
Getting there
From Kyiv and Lviv, the trains can take you to Ivano-Frankivsk.
From Ivano-Frankivsk you can go by taxi, bus or marshrutka
(110km). If you drive (not recommended), its best to travel via
Ivano-Frankivsk. Then proceed through the towns of Nadvirna
and Yaremche, then through the villages of Mykulychyn, Tatariv
and Polyanytsya. Follow the signs to Bukovel. Free parking is
available.
Bukovels base elevation is nearly 900m above sea level,

and the highest ski lift rises to 1372m, making it the second
highest ski resort in Ukraine. All categories of slope difficulty
are available. There is a very long gradual slope that is perfect
for beginners, a couple of short tows for children and superbeginners, all levels of intermediate runs and several black
diamond runs for experts and the idiotic brave. Night skiing
is available from 17:00 - 20:00; however, only one upper
intermediate slope is currently equipped with lights. For more
information check out the trail map at bukovel.com/en/map.
Blue indicates beginner slopes, red are intermediate and
black are advanced.
Ski rental
Five rental shops are at your service and are located near
lower lifts No. 1, 2, 5 and 7. These centres are also equipped
with storage rooms, lockers, showers, bathrooms and skiservice centres (open 08:45 - 17:00). All skis are relatively
new, in excellent condition and rent from 80-260Hr. Snowboard sets go for 80-140Hr. As collateral you must leave
a passport, drivers license or a deposit of 2500-9000Hr.
Snowmobiles are also available for rent.
Lift passes
Prices at Bukovel are considerably higher than elsewhere in
Ukraine. One lift ride costs 35-45Hr. Passes can be bought
for 3 hours, full-day, several days or the entire season. Full-day
passes (good for all lifts) cost 336-396Hr. The popular 5 days
ride pass costs 1132Hr and 1524Hr for the holiday season.
Almost all of the lifts are chair lifts and a few are tows. Lift
passes can be purchased in several places around the base
of the mountain.

Mail & Phones

Postal delivery in Ukraine is generally reliable, but every so
often a letter or package will go missing and never arrive
at its intended destination. The post office remains a
throwback to Soviet times with its redundant and confusing bureaucratic order. When sending or picking up a package or letter be patient and try not to be too intimidated by
the burly woman shouting incomprehensible orders at you.
Postal delivery in Ukraine is generally reliable, but every
so often a letter or package will go missing and never
arrive at its intended destination, which is quite annoying.
Connections involving fixed line telephones are often bad,
sometimes incorporating another conversation into yours
or going dead in mid-conversation. Mobile phones are
already very popular, and the internet is getting there.
