Lychakiv Cemetery

One of the most interesting cemeteries I've ever visited. Tons and tons of huge headstones, all different designs, and even quite a few family tombs. It's a very big cemetery, I was walking at a decent speed and still took me 40 minutes to do one loop. There is an entrance fee but it's very cheap: 80 Hryvnia.

I like to visit Lychakiv cemetery. It is the history of Lviv and Europe, a place of numerous architectural masterpieces and a good place to think, to listen to silence and to comunicate with it. Lychakiv cemetery is a great museum too.

Definitely underestimated place either for calm walks or for thinking of eternal things. Highly recommended. Entry ticket 50 uah.

Very old and impressive cemetery that is a real museum containing lots of interesting monuments.

A beautiful cemetery. It carries a ton of polish and ukrainian history. Definatly one of must sees of lviv.

Since the 1500s, Lviv’s most prominent figures have been laid to rest at this 40-hectare cemetery that has now been recognised as a national reserve. Lychakiv Cemetery is the equivalent to Père Lachaise or Highgate and is treasured not just for its prestigious burials but the quality of the art that commemorates them. Laid to rest here are Polish and Ukrainian members of the clergy, politicians, military leaders, scientists, architects (like Zygmunt Gorgolewski), soloists, aviators, surgeons and painters. For Poles the cemetery is poignant as the burial place of the Lwów Eaglets, young militia members who were killed during the Polish-Ukrainian War in 1918-1919.

Great place to walk about. Lots of ups and downs but overall well maintained and interesting well trafficked to this Wednesday morning. Make you graves interesting, people, strangers do come visit…

This is the first cemetery I've bought a ticket for. And it was worth it all the ways it's like an museum of history and art. Sculpture and botanical garden.
