Potocki Palace
Editor's review
The scale of this palace leaves little doubt as to the stature of the family that once owned it. The Potockis were amongst the most powerful clans in Central Europe. After Poland was wiped off the map in the eighteenth century they eventually rose up the ranks in the Habsburg hierarchy, providing several governors for Galicia itself. The last owner of the palace ended his days in exile in France in 1958. Recently restored, the palace now houses a branch of the Lviv Gallery of Art. The main focus is on Renaissance and Baroque art, and the interiors themselves are interesting.

Yellow House Hostel Anna: Cool hostel! Very nice accommodations, clean and cosy. The best place to stay while travelling with friends. Helpful staff: organized excursions, tickets to the theatre! Free wifi, so after nice day discovering historical Lviv, you can connect to Internet and chat with friends. Thank you for pleasant stay! Celentano Katie: Pizza still good ! New York Street Pizza James: After months of searching for pizza that reminded me of back-home, I was surprised that this joint in Sichov (there are multiple locations throughout the city) was the closest thing. Good thin crust, actual tomato sauce instead of ketchup (and thick!), and the cheese was spot-on. Yes, the toppings are odd (crab sticks, "hunter sausage," corn), but this is as close as you can get to American style pizza in this city - go here if you're missing home ;) The Kosmonaut Hostel Natalia Rabkevich: we tried to book Kosmonaut , but there was no answer , and we stayed in Roxelana Hostel . It was great experience in Roxelana Hostel , they build new showers , bathrooms , each guest has its own safety deposite box , storage box , wi-fi , free breakfast. great breath taking castle ! very nice clean hostel.
