Cemetery in Lviv

Lychakiv Cemetery

Lychakiv Cemetery is a historic cemetery east of the city center, often compared to Pere Lachaise in Paris for its elaborate tombs, sculptures, and the famous Ukrainians buried here. Entry is a modest fee. The cemetery is beautifully maintained with tree-lined avenues and artistic monuments spanning 200 years. Budget travelers pay the cheap ticket and walk through a cemetery that tells the story of Lviv’s Polish, Austrian, and Ukrainian layers.
