Lviv & Western Ukraine - Ukraine - page 190

Head north across the square in front of the church's entrance, cross vul Valova
and continue north on vul Fedorova for about 200m until you reach vul Ruska. The
Dormition Church ( Click here ) and its Kornyakt bell tower loom on your right.
Go left on vul Ruska, keeping the Ratusha on your right as you cross pl Rynok.
Look for the black facade of Boyim Chapel ( Click here ), on pl Katedralna, and
check inside. When you exit, head straight down the path in front of you, keeping
the Latin Cathedral ( Click here ) on your right, and take the next right on vul
Teatralna.
You're now close to where you started, walking north parallel to pr Svobody.
Continue past the Jesuit Church , stopping to admire its interesting baroque
and Renaissance facade. Your home stretch, vul Virmenska, is easy to spot - it's
Lviv's prettiest street. Hang a right and aim for the eastern terminus of the street,
where Dzyga awaits. Before you get there, pop your head into the courtyard of the
Armenian Cathedral ( Click here ). At the Dzyga cafe , choose an outdoor
table with a view of the Dominican Cathedral ( Click here ) and order yourself a
well-deserved Lvivske beer, or a cup of Lviv's legendary coffee.
