How Much To Budget For Two-Week Trip To Lviv, Ukraine

After a glorious first taste of post-work freedom in Krakow, Poland, we took the train across the border to Ukraine and arrived in Lviv, another beautiful historic city. Here we were ready to indulge a little. After getting to know the medieval downtown with a free walking tour, we quickly established our favourite areas and restaurants.

The value in Lviv was outstanding; we enjoyed incredible brunches for $6 USD each and a night of ballet at the exquisite Lviv Opera House for $10 USD total. Here is the video detailing our spend in Lviv, comparing it with a similar amount of time and money in Krakow.

All amounts are in USD.
