About Lviv

The center around Rynok Square was awesome with scenic views, street performers, interesting and creative restaurants, places to grab a beer/wine, coffee shops, pedestrian areas, etc. During the school year one out of five people in Lviv are students and so it definitely has a college town vibe. Personally I think it's Ukraine's best city and I found the cost of living value ratio to be superb. The co-working space I went to (iHub) had a good mix of locals and foreign digital nomads.

The best thing about Lviv is that it feels quite alive, with a quite positive vibe. Many young students and tourists all year round, as well as good cafes (Black Honey, Svit Kavy) and decent bars (Pravda). Recommended and usually much cheaper than Kiev.
