Vectormap.Net provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date vector maps in Adobe Illustrator, PDF and other formats, designed for editing and printing. Please read the vector map descriptions carefully. Here’s a general overview of Lviv’s principal waterways, bridges, and main streets:
- Waterways: Lviv is not known for its waterways in the same way as some other cities. The city is situated in a hilly region and does not have major rivers flowing through it. The Poltva River, a small tributary of the Western Bug, flows through the city, but it is not a prominent waterway.
- Bridges: Lviv has several bridges that span over the Poltva River and its tributaries. One notable bridge is the Starovysk Bridge, connecting the historic part of Lviv with the Starovysk neighborhood. It’s a picturesque spot and a popular destination for both locals and tourists.
- Main Streets:
- Rynok Square (Market Square): This is the central square in Lviv and one of the most popular gathering places. It is surrounded by historic buildings, including the City Hall and various cafes. The square is the heart of Lviv’s Old Town.
- Prospect Svobody (Freedom Avenue): This is one of the main streets in Lviv and a popular promenade. Lined with shops, cafes, and historical buildings, it leads from the Opera House to the Shevchenko Avenue.
- Vulitsa Lesi Ukrainky (Lesya Ukrainka Street): This street is known for its beautiful architecture and is home to the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv.
- Vulitsa Halytska (Galician Street): Another charming street in the Old Town with a mix of historic buildings, shops, and cafes.
- Mickiewicz Square: Named after the famous Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz, this square is surrounded by historic buildings and is a popular meeting place.
Remember that Lviv’s Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and wandering through its cobblestone streets provides a unique and historical experience. Additionally, new developments or changes may have occurred since my last update, so it’s a good idea to check for the latest information from local sources or travel guides.
