So much respect for Ukrainian people from Ireland
❤️ UKRAINE IS STRONG ❤️ and Friends of UKRAINE are STRONG 🔥
I second that!
Im irish and supported the Soviet Union. Soviet Union was the only country to recognize us during the war. That being said, what russia is doing to ukraine is disgusting and ukraine deserves help!
@@LanaDelReysBabe well I am Irish too and if Ukraine doesn't want anything to do with Russia that's up to them not Russia they have no right to interfere with Ukraine in any way Russia is a terrorist state a disgusting country with a bunch of miserable people cowards and I hope Russia will pay like never before they lie about everything how can any decent person support Russia now glory to Ukraine
@@frankmontague7544 hahahahahaha Z ❤ Russia !!!!
Greetings from Kraków :) (like brother city of Lviv )
Can i come to flight now lviv city?
I’m in San Diego California. Every time you’ve shown Lviv, it makes me want to see it all the more. I can’t wait to see it in person.
Hi Chris. Check out House of Ukraine in San Diego (Balboa Park)! They are very active with helping Ukraine.
@@ItsMe_Hello_People Thanks Kerry. I'll check it out.
Z ❤️ LONG LIFE TO RUSSIA !!!!!
@@user-zo1mf5qq1t let’s pray Russia pays Ukraine 🇺🇦 to repair the damage and atone for their crimes against Ukrainians.
Which, hopefully means liquidating assets from Russia and enacting legislation forcing Russia to pay.
I am watching from San Diego, CA, I am amazed that you guys are not wearing hats when it looks so cold outside!
I would love to visit Lviv, what a beautiful city!
Hello from England! I travel a lot and really want to visit Ukraine when I can.
So do I hopefully we’ll be able to visit soon!🇺🇦
I go from England twice a year. Recommended
8:08 Ukrainian restaurants are amazing. Decor, presentation and quality of food !
9:38 I think it is fine, you need to support local businesses to survive
THE RUSSIAN ARE MUCH BETTER
After the war is over, you will be complaining about too many tourists 😉 we all want to visit your beautiful country. Lviv will be our first destination. Can‘t wait to see it!
Slava Ukraini!!!!
That won't happen anytime soon.
@@v-22 right! I have to wait until September. Everything is booked! Counting the days! Can‘t wait! 😄💕
And developers. Obviously that's part of what the "war" is about. Tribal competition over who gets to control and develop the real-estate and then heat all the wooden McSlave box-houses they'll build.. They will ruin Lviv's ecology just like they did in Colorado.
@@peterberg4457 you will have to wait years, this will be a war of 5 years minimum ha ha, so go during war time
@peterberg4457...
Lviv is not a Ukrainian city. This city was built by Poles. Its beauty and monuments that adorn the city were created by Poles. It is sad that Ukrainians boast about other people's achievements and culture. You should know that although Lviv was founded by Prince Galician, naming the city after his son Lev, the city belonged to Poland from 1346 until the attack of Germany and the USSR on Poland in 1939. The shape and architecture of the city is the work of Poles, not Ukrainians.
Lviv is gorgeous! I am watching from Oklahoma US! 💙💛
Great video guys. Having travelled extensively in central Europe I would have to say for cafe culture , culinary options & even bars Lviv is the number one city of Central Europe. Even in these troubled times it's great to see the spirit of the people & city is still strong & smiling. I'll be back soon 🇺🇦💖🏴
If I suddenly appeared in Lviv without knowing what is going on in Ukraine. I would never think the country is in war
God bless you guys from USA 🇺🇸! SLAVA Ukraine 🇺🇦
Hello from Connecticut USA , god bless and glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
GOD BLESS RUSSYA
Yes, Marta, I'd like very much to have you make us a video about your life's work. Very nice Orest, this was fun and interesting, do it again. I love walking the city streets at night, well any time but the night vibe is always sweet. I have a personal inquiry so see you on FB.
Later, Bye......................Old Dave
Greetings from Nashville, Tennessee in America. I enjoyed your video very much Spacibo!!!
Hello from Connecticut USA!
i hope everything will be good soon and you and all Ukrainian people will come back to Ukraine love and prayers
Ukraine from Pakistan 🇵🇰🫡🤞🫶🤲🏻
Hello from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🇺🇦🙏
You are a great tour guide with Marta. City life and restaurants looked very nice. 3:10 Introduction to art life is something I'd like to see and some have asked Anna to do. I have seen that you have many talented artists. Anna got yesterday also a wish to introduce local brewery in Lutsk :) If you have something similiar or interesting products you export, that would be a good subject.
It will be interesting to know more about the modern Ukrainian art. Please make a video. Thank you
Thanks for the walk around Lviv. I was there for about a month as part of an exchange program back in 1998. All the best from Vermont!
Love from India 🇮🇳 ♥
love and respect from Canada 👌
Дякую! Красиве відео. Ми з нетерпінням чекаємо нашого візиту навесні, щоб допомогти у відновленні України. Ми можемо залишитися на рік. Дідусь і бабуся моєї дружини родом з Одеси. Слава Україні! Перемога Україні!
Every video you put out is of interest - from the front of this Terrible Invasion and War, started by Vlad the Terrible, to your marvelous Historical and Cultural ones. GOD BLESS You both and All the Righteous and Brave Ukrainian People with a Convincing Victory over this Demonic Enemy! Slava Ukraine!
🖖 Hi Marta and Orest from Tampa FL
Nice video, thanks for the little tour. (Australia)
Lviv, is the city of my earliest traceable ancestor from the 16th century. I love the cobblestoned streets, are they all old and original, or are most of them relatively new? I'm considering coming to live in Lviv for six months in the summer.
I think this is hard to answer, because what do you mean by "new"?
Lviv was never (heavily) bombed during the wars of the 20th century, so you don't have the situation that you have in many German or Polish towns. So in that sense it is old and original.
But, just as visitor between ~07 and 19 I can tell you that the quality of streets in Lviv has really improved just in that time. Even as recently as 07 (ish) there were many more potholes, the stones were much more uneven etc. To the degree that the scared tourist might even be afraid to drive some places fairly central... (this was of course partly due to all the road works going on.)
Cobblestoned streets do require some upkeep :-). Not least because the cars of today are much heavier than anything 2-4 hundred years ago.
Nice to see your blog. Everything seems normal. More power to you guys. Of all the places I really want to go to Ukraine. 😊
🎉Awesome video, Much Respect to Ukraine and it's wonderful people 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Blessings from Brisbane, Queensland in Australia 🇦🇺 🙏
Greeting from Australia! Well done guys, you do the great job to promote Ukrainian in the world. Keep going, Слава Україні! ❤
At around 10:00... Oh dear, you are really making it sound like indulging in a citybreak to Lviv would be a virtuous thing... Exactly what I want to hear!
You have no idea how many times, especially during the pandemic, I have dreamed about all the restaurants in Lviv I want to visit again...
And of course cafés - there's probably no city that takes coffee more seriously. As a teenager in the 80ies I visited Vienna, and was very very disappointed by the cafés. Only when I came to Lviv (first time in 06 or 07) did I finally experience the kind of café-culture I had read about in old books about Vienna or Prague. Pilgrimages to Svit Kavy and Veronika are mandatory for any tourist in Lviv!
Lviv is a beautifull city.
Love to watch your videos...keep going...
Слава Україні!!!!

Beautiful Ukraine💙💛💙💛
BEAUTIFUL RUSSIAAAAAAAAA
You are great guys! Thanks for letting people know from inside about your home city and Ukraine! ❤
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦

Art video - yes
My late father-in-law was from Lviv. Hope to see it some day.
Greetings from Singapore. We plan to visit Lviv this summer 😊. Thanks for sharing this with us 😊 Slava Ukraini
from SAN FRANCISCO, California we are sending 💕 to UKRAINE and for You & Marta
Hello from the state of Florida in the U.S.A. I enjoyed the video.
Thank you both for the fantastic tour of Old Town L'viv. It has been five years since I was there and I will never forget what a wonderful and magical city it is. I walked all of the streets many times and enjoyed everything I saw there. I love Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. I especially love the beautiful women like Marta who manage to smile and think positively all the time. I know things are very difficult now and hope the war is over soon. There is no doubt in my mind that Ukraine will when this war, recover all of your territory, and put a stop to Putin's tyranny forever. Best wishes to both of you and Slava Ukraini. From Steve in Southern California.
Thanks to MTP, I found your channel when it was still at 3K and have seen it grown. Greetings from the US.
Hello from norway 💙💛 Slava Ukraini
We are in America. This video makes us want to come visit. Would Ukranians want American tourists to come visit Lviv and Drohobych for a few days as tourists, or would that be rude and insensitive? We want to support those who work in tourist industry and spend dollars buying local crafts. Should people come in April 2023?
I've met no one who thinks people doing tourism even in these times is insensitive. It is the other way around - people see it as a good sign that the world isn't getting tired of us. We are always glad to welcome new friends :)
Pausing at 3:54: NO! Lviv does not look similar to ANY city in Europe. Lviv has parts, buildings, even streets, that might look similar, but no other city has the totality, the wholeness of Lviv.
(Lublin's old city might be a tiny bit similar, but Lublin doesn't have the liveliness of the oldest part of the city, it is far smaller, and Lublin doesn't have the 19th-20th century town surrounding it...)
Haven't visited since before the pandemic. I miss Lviv so much!
Love Ukraine ❤❤ from India
Hi guys..just started subscribing to ur Channel..keep it up...all very interesting & entertaining !!
Greetings from Sydney Australia!!

I was think about visiting Lviv, how are things now.
stay strong and greetings from Croatia
Watching from Concord California.
Watching from Canada. Would love to see Ukrainian art.
I'm going to Lviv in a month... I was quite nervous regarding the war - but you guys have realy eased my mind. Thank you
Same, don't worry about it. Lviv seems pretty safe.
@@raidenb4512 @lunden8060 Hi guys have you been there ? Is the city safe ? Are the bars and discotheque are open or are there power cuts ? Thanks :)
@@lymphocytetueur8189 I came back last week, all is safe. All is open, there is no more powersuplly in the street.
There is a couvre-feu around 11pm.
(I feel more safe in Lviv than France)
Big Respect to you guys! Victory to my Lovely Ukraine 🇺🇦

Very amazing video. May God Bless Ukraine…

A very interesting video, I am learning Ukrainian on Duo-Lingo and hope to visit there someday. Best wishes from Canada.
I'm going to Lviv next month, we'll see how that goes!
The arts in Ukraine? Yes please
I watched this from Grand Prairie Texas, is between Dallas and Fort Worth Texas. Would love to visit Ukraine with my motorcycle in the summer time.
great vid - relaxed yet informative. Can't wait till you win this war and I get to visit
Salute to Ukrainian people for their firm resolution against Russian war
💛💙🇺🇦🇺🇦
Слава Україні, привіт з Австралії. Дякую за пізнавальні відео. Наші канали новин на телебаченні мало показують про те, що відбувається в Україні 💙💛
What a lovely couple!
Well, i will definitely visit Ukraine soon.
To be honest resistance of Ukraine and Ukrainians in general impressed me a lot. You've been exploited by Russia and Oligarchs since 1993 (apparently Janukowicz [im sorry, i have no idea how to write his name properly in English/Ukrainian/Russian, so ill just stick to Polish] was stealing over 5% of total Ukrainian GDP each year!) but you didnt lose faith in better future. Now youre fighting for freedom again (which is also part of DNA of Polish people)...
All the best from Wrocław, Poland.
Love
Watching from Massachusetts USA. Lviv is a top notch city. Post 1991, how did the restaurant, cafe and bar scene evolve in your city and others in Ukraine?
Greetings from the West in Colorado!
Onward And Upward.
nice city . do you know .... franky and coen into the breach ... on you tube . .. you make nice film thanks . greatings from the netherlands .
It would be great to have some videos of visiting other towns in the Lviv Oblast, like Drohobich and Skidnystya. Are they still good for foreigners to visit in 2023? Is it easy to drive there from Lviv?
We love Ukraine 🇺🇦 from USA 🇺🇸
Slava Ukraine!
Yes, we are interested in Ukrainian art scene.

Stay safe guys!! 💙💛

The lady is very pretty and charismatic. ❤
Hi,
Three Irish men flying into Krakow in July considering a day trip (or two) to Lviv. Any advice or recommendations?
Cheers.
Joey
I love Ukraine 🇺🇦 so much!!!! A wonderful country made by great people that are intelligent, strong and sensible .
I LOVE RUSSIA SO MUCH
Beautiful architecture and it looks really clean there. I wish New Yorkers wouldn't treat the city like one giant dumpster, it could be a nice place.
Im ready to visit Lviv onto to Kolomiya
Hello, how often are air raids in Lviv right now?
I'm looking for particular Road would be in the suburbs used to be a cul-de-sac I think? All I know there is a small Bridge humped Bridge, and when you turned left you would enter the former Polish Barracks and if you turned right you would enter this road. the house we're for railway workers I believe or military. I know it's not much to go on but the former Polish army barracks should be a clue. Have you got any footage of the area, could walk down there, do you know the name of this road? Great City
Orest how is pizza in Lviv is it NYC style?
Nice city and nice people, I hope things get better soon
Can we visit Lviv from across the land border from Poland ?
yes. regular trains are running, not expensive and punctual :)
👍
Hi Orest and Marta! I would love to know how accessible Ukraine is and maybe plans for the future for differently-abled people. I have to take this into account anywhere I go. Wishing you health, peace, and happiness ❤
