Not surprising, a very quiet neighbourhood. Some famous people are interred here in a variety of outlandish thumbs and sepulchres. The only one I knew was Ivan Franko. Seriously though, worth a look if you have the time. Get there in the tram number nine, or walk like I did and take in the university building along the way. Almost zero traffic.

It's a place with really old traditions, honoured monuments. The history of Ukraine, Poland, Austro-Hungarian empire freezed in the headstones of children, girls, boys, ladies and gentlemen, whole families...

Wear your hiking boots and be prepared to be amazed. I already knew a lot about the cemetery before I arrived so I really enjoied seeing it. Even if you knew nothing it would be amazing but you might consider hiring a local guide to take you around the cemetery. There is so much to be gleaned about the history of this region in the cemetery. It is also a hauntingly beautiful place.

Now it is a museum and the tomb. On its territory there are sculptures and architectural structures known masters. Monuments and tombs that there are almost 220 years old, it is incredible in its beauty masterpieces of sculpture and architecture. Walking between sculptures, it seems that you're in another world, and will not begin to believe in eternal life, where there is always a light, quiet and peaceful.

If you are in Lviv, this is a place you should see, but there is no way you can compare it to the cemetery in Venice, which is really magnificent. We spent 2 hours here, and yes, nice and clean place, but we wouldn't come here for the second time, one time see is more than enough.

This is probably the most incredible cemetery I have ever been to. A good 10-20 minute walk form the centre of town but well worth it. Huge grounds, with historically significant tobs of both Polish & Ukrainian citizens. A massive war memorial and stunning views. It's absolutely not to be missed!

I spent three hours here, feeling the ambiance, think about the life and death both for the tombs and myself. This place is the real history of Lviv, the Polishes and Ukranians rest together.

Very quiet place with impressive architecture. Sad and relaxant place in the same time. It bears lots of memory of the second war and 2013-2014 protest. Sad and quiet place. Despite it is cemetery, it feels like special park. You can walk and think about your life, the sense of your life and who all those people were, to think about theirs life and to remember all of them.Worth to visit definitely!

Large and very old cemetery (+ 300 years old) situated not far from the city centre. It is still in use today and a part is reserved to soldiers. Some victims of the last events in Ukrainia are buried here.

Poles, Ukrainians, Russians of all faiths buried here. after such a troubled past, all res in peace here. Irony or what?t

First time I see a cemetery like Lychakiv. It feels like an outdoors museum rather than a cemetery. Packed with history and grave signed in Ukrainian, Polish, Latin, Russian and some other language.Although it is a cemetery, it still is a great place for a long walk and interesting pictures.

Though I have seen plenty of beautiful cemeteries (the ones in Zagreb and Buenos Aires being the most stunning ones), I totally recommend this amazing cemetery. Of course the absolute must-see is the impressive widespread commemoration site on the northern part of it. But there are plenty of extraordinary tombs and statues of any kind on numerous paths going up and down. Do not hesitate to spend 20 Hr entrance fee for visiting this spectaculour cemetery as you will be rewarded for sure!

This isn't a must while you're in Lviv (unless you really love sculptures), but well worth a visit if you have an hour or 2 to spare. As some people mentioned before this place is perfect for a stroll and to admire the gravestones that look as if they belong in a museum. You can take a self guided tour, however you won't regret paying a few dollars for a guide. If you do the tour yourself it's an interesting walk; if you do it with a guide it all of a sudden becomes a living history class. You end up paying attention to details more and learning about the people who have been such a huge part of not only Ukrainian, but world history. Please remember this place is huge so wear comfortable shoes.

Yeh, it is a must see while in Lviv... Very educating for those coming from the East. The Poles, French or Germans won;t be impressed unless they have relatives buried there. Overall, clean and more or less taken care of.

The centuries of history, amazing sculptures by the hundreds, beautiful forest setting...take an hour or two and go for a stroll...
