Rooftops, Rooftops, Rooftops

So you know how I keep telling you I love walking around a city to get to know it?

Well I had one of my favorite, absolute best days exploring Lviv this summer with my sister!

We started off from the park near the circus.

Then made our way into the heart of the city for a slice of pizza and some entertainment.

Next up?
One of the best views of Lviv via the City Hall Bell Tower.

Can you guess what our next destination was?
If you guessed a rooftop chocolate cafe, you would be correct.

We found a lovely little windowside table...

And then realized there was OUTDOOR seating too!

As the sun started to set, we started making our way back to the train station wandering back through the city...

Tour Around Lviv

Lviv is beautiful.
I'm a little biased about my feelings towards it, but having been around the world twice I can still firmly say it's like no other city out there.
For the first time since I left Ukraine to move to the US, this is the first year I spent winter and summer here.
Luckily, this past winter was really warm.
And even more luckily, this summer was perfect.

One of my favorite ways to explore a city is by walking around it.

The tourist office in the middle of the city is super helpful and have fluent English speakers who work there.
They also have a few different self guided mapped tours around the city.
Below is one of them that I also posted to my Instagram.

Above is a collection of historic first's, old churches, government building, cafes, stores, hotels.
All things iconic.
I unfortunately have no idea where I put my little guidebook and I can't remember what's what...

One of the nicest things about L'viv is that cafes and bars are plenty.
After a delighfully long day of walking, a cup of tea and some people watching is just what the doctor ordered.

I mean, really, how beautiful is this city?!
