Lviv - Ukraine

[Rugged Path]

For a 4 week EU eastern trip next year, thinking of slipping into Ukraine for a few days. Whether it is possible, or just plain daft, will wait and see.
Even just as showing British support for their efforts & sacrifice.

Moved.

I would wait and see at this stage as the situation seems somewhat up in the air at the moment

My ex wife was from Lviv. It’s right on the Polish border and used to belong to Poland from what I gather. Nice historic town, but I’d recommend waiting too.
Just got to Krakow instead?! lol

PS. If you do go there, you’ll never bitch about our roads again!!

My father and his (Ukrainian) wife have been flying to Poland and getting a coach to Lviv.

Since there’s a multi billion dollar ski resort/ year round international holiday resort with 25 hotels being built near Lviv, my guess it will be fine.

We had knew people taking aid to Ukraine early in the war, and there was apparently no sign of trouble in an around Lviv.

That place will likely be back in Poland soon. Id wait until it is.

well your entering a active warzone so it's a double tick in the box of adventure travel.... in my book..!

I went there in June..there are no problems in that part of Ukraine, yet !
They let you in , but are thorough with documents ( I had no bike insurance ), showed them my BeMoto certificate and they seemed happy.
I was heading into Lviv to buy insurance at a broker, but didn't make it that far..the bike broke down with a fried regulator.
Everyone was really helpful and curious at the same time ( why come to Ukraine ), 3 days later I found a replacement and decided to head south to Romania rather than heading to Moldova ( original plan ).

There is a thriving tourism infrastructure around the south west Carpathian Mountains, new hotels and cabins being built everywhere you look, big supermarkets, cafes and bars ( always seemed busy ), designer goods, boutiques...

I did manage to buy war cover personal insurance from Visit Ukraine website, you can also buy vehicle insurance, there but the form has to be filled in Ukrainian language.

I'm hoping to visit again next year and explore a bit more, and hopefully the war will be over
