Named one of Lonely Planet travel guides’ top 10 undiscovered cities to visit in 2016, Lviv – the largest city in western Ukraine, but only the seventh largest in the country, with a population of 750,000 – is becoming a hub for European businesses looking for high-quality talent and manufacturing on the doorstep of the EU.
Famous for its 19th century architecture, award-winning coffee and handmade chocolate, Lviv has a growing tourism sector and in 2016 welcomed 2.5 million visitors, according to Olha Syvak, chief investment officer at Lviv City Council.
