Places to Visit in Lviv and Current Travel Guide
In March, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Turkey Binali Yıldırım announced that they signed the agreement that allows the citizens of the two countries to travel with an identity card, after meeting with Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman at the Çankaya Mansion.. Thanks to this agreement, we now have the opportunity to travel to Ukraine, where we have traveled without a visa until now, only with an ID card, as in domestic flights.. Thanks to this convenience, the interest in Ukrainian cities will increase gradually.. At the forefront of these cities is Lviv, the country’s cultural capital.
Located on Ukraine’s border with Poland, Lviv has been receiving a very serious influx of tourists lately.. Lviv managed to become the tourism city with the highest growth rate in the world in 2016. Places to visit in Lviv, Lviv restaurants and cafes with interesting concepts and Lviv nightlife have a very important role in this growth.. The interest in Lviv will increase with the implementation of the passport-free Ukraine holiday. I know Ukraine and especially Lviv are very curious by Turks.. In this article, I will try to satisfy all your curiosity.

Information About Lviv
Lviv was founded in 1265 by King of Galicia Danylo Haltsky and his son Lev. The king names the city after his son. Lev meaning lion turns into Lviv over time. That’s why you come across lion figures in the city’s emblem and in many parts of it.. Russians call the city Lvov. Don’t say it because local people are uncomfortable with it. The historical center of the city, which has a population of approximately 1 million, has been included in the World Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO and is under protection.
The mother tongue of Ukraine is Ukrainian.. Almost everyone here also speaks Russian.. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Lviv is the most English speaking Ukrainian city.. But even here most people don’t speak English. But somehow you get along.
If you say you need the help of someone who speaks Turkish, I recommend Turkish-speaking Ukrainian guideZoryana Sheremeta from Lviv. We met him at Rynoh Square. He is quite sympathetic. It gives small groups a city tour for 1 hour for 10 dollars.. If you want to hear Turkish from a local in the city, you can reach Zoryana at +380679381917 or on Facebook (zoryanas).

Although there is a civil war in some parts of Ukraine such as Donetsk, which is close to Russia, Lviv is a very safe place.. Located in the west of the country, on the border with Poland. People here are mostly Ukrainian nationalists.. In souvenir shops and markets, you see toilet papers with pictures of Putin.
Ukraine Currency and Prices
Ukraine’s currency, the hryvnia (UAH), is sometimes also called the hryvnia.. Interestingly, there is no significant exchange rate difference between the exchange offices at the city’s airport and the city center.. However, they still get a small commission.
1 TL: 7.2 hryvnia
1 Dollar: 26 ,9 hryvnia
Ukraine is a very cheap country, and Lviv is the most expensive city in the country because it is a kind of tourism center of the country.. However, the prices are quite reasonable compared to Turkey.. It is possible to have an open buffet breakfast for 110 hryvnia (15.3 TL – 4.09 dollars) in one of the most beautiful restaurants in the city, such as Baczewski.. However, the country used to be much cheaper for Turks.. Many I saw from the blog of a blogger friend who went to Lviv before, when they left, it was 1 dollar, 2.6 TL.. At that time, when 1 TL was 9 hryvnia, prices were a little lower in hryvnia.. However, Lviv is still far cheaper than many cities.. I just spent about 100 dollars in total, including 5 days and 6 nights hostel accommodation.. Moreover, even though I eat at quite a lot of famous places.
Some prices from the city to give you an idea
1 coffee: 10-35 hryvnia. Average 25 hryvnia (1 T-Bone Steak (Mons Pius Restaurant) 100 gr. : 80 hryvnia (11.1 TL – 3 dollars)
1 portion of meat shashlik (The First Grill of Lviv) : 195 hryvnia (27 TL -7, 25 dollars)
1 portion of chicken shashlik (The First Grill of Lviv) : 95 hryvnia (13.1 TL – 3.5 dollars)
1 opera ticket (on the upper balcony): 50 hryvnia (7 TL – 1.86 USD)
1 bus ticket: 2 hryvnia (28 cents, $0.075)
1 van: 4 hryvnia (56 cents, $0.15)
1 bottle su: 7-8 hryvnia
Lviv Myths and Facts
Before you go to the city, you hear quite assertive things about this place. Especially Turkish men get excited with the things they read and Ukrainian mythologies and organize expeditions to these places with great expectations. I don’t want to ruin your dreams, but here are the facts I see about the city:
Most of the city is made up of beautiful girls. , becomes frustrated. On the contrary, our image is not very good because of the Turkish men who have gone for years with these expectations and treated every Ukrainian they see as “Natasha” and constantly asking the guides for a massage parlor.. Some Ukrainian girls can also take advantage of this weakness of Turkish men and hang out with them to eat and drink.. Also, let me tell you, I haven’t come across a beautiful girl in the city that will make you turn around and have your head looked at twice for 6 days.. I think most of this city is made up of pretty girls, the mythology is a bit of the airline and tourism companies pumping it up.. I can count so many places that will make a difference to Lviv in this regard.. But I will not count them, let them not get dirty
Mythology Does Not Need More Than 2 Days
Nazan Mengü Whoever I spoke to and read whose article I read He wrote that there is nothing to do after 2 days in Lviv, you will get bored.. I just couldn’t finish eating and drinking places in 6 days. Although I quickly passed the places to visit, some of them were missing.. Frankly, I was amazed by the speed of the friends who finished it in 2 days
There Are Too Many Turks (Males) Mythology
Unfortunately, this is not mythology, it is a bitter truth.. The city was flooded by Turkish men because of the beautiful girl mythology.. Surely, you come across Turkish men’s groups of 2 or 3 in the mode that went on leave in the bazaar while in the military.. That’s why, when entering the country, the police take the men aside and interrogate them.. They didn’t ask me, but have your information such as accommodation and return ticket with you.. I think this is a place where you can visit with your family, your spouse or your parents.. There are many things to see, see and eat
Places to Visit and See in Lviv
An important part of the city’s attractions and sights are located near the central Rynok Square. taking. Whatever you do, you end up in this square.. The word Rynok means “market” in Ukrainian.. However, the square takes its name from the word “ring”, which means round.. comes from the word. Rynok Square consists of 44 buildings around a circular ring with the building with Ratusha Tower in the center.
The market here also had some rules in its time.. The most interesting of these is that all buildings have a maximum of 3 windows.. Years later, there were those who broke this rule.. There are many museums in Rynok Square. In addition, many famous eating and drinking places are located in this square or in the side streets of this square.. All of the houses in the square are colored, only one is black (Black House).
Ratusha Tower
This tower, located in the town hall in the middle of Rynok Square, I think it has the best panoramic view of the city. 4 of the town hall. You take the elevator up to the floor. You have to buy a ticket here and walk up the stairs of the tower.. There is no elevator to get here and you have to climb quite a few steps, but I think it’s worth the view.. Even though the ticket says 10 hryvnia as an entrance fee, they charge you 20 hryvnias.
Opera House
The historical Opera House, near Rynok Square, and the famous Shevshenko Monument draw attention as structures that should be seen again.. I highly recommend having an evening of opera experience here. You can listen to a very nice opera for a funny price of 50 hryvnia (7 TL).. It’s a very funny amount to see that hall and its acoustics.
Lychakiv Cemetery
I can hear you say, is it possible to visit a cemetery in a city, moreover, by paying money?. However, if the cemetery is like this, you will even go to see this cemetery.. Not tombstones, they are all works of art.. Never before have I spent so many hours admiring in a cemetery.. You are experiencing an enormous visual feast for a fee of 20 hryvnia.. Returning without seeing this place will regret your holiday. Lychakiv Cemetery is located about 2 km from the city center.. It is also possible to go by taxi or public transport, but it takes a maximum of half an hour on foot.. Is there anything like exploring the city on foot?
The Museum of Lost Toys
This was a very interesting place that I came across on a blog before I went to the city.. However, I discovered this place by chance, returning from High Castle.. First of all, the high castle is shown as one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the city.. You have to be quite strong and I don’t think it offers a Ratusha Tower view. Let’s come to the Lost Toy Museum. This is a scary museum on the one hand, and a very interesting museum on the other.. no entry fee. An open-air museum created by bringing lost toys in the courtyard of 2 buildings.
Lviv Parks
The city has quite large parks.. The most famous of these are Stryisky Park and Ivan Franko Park. Ivan Franko Park, opposite the Ivan Franko State University, is a much smaller park than Stryisky but closer to the city centre.. Stryisky, on the other hand, is a very peaceful park with nearly 20 statues in it, where you can feed the squirrels with your hands.
Lviv Cathedral and Churches
The city has many majestic cathedrals and churches, albeit small.. The most important of these is St George’s Cathedral near Ivan Franko Park.. St George is the patron saint of the city. In addition, Lviv Latin Cathedral, Armenian Cathedral, St. Olha and Elizabeth Cathedral, Dominican Church are other imposing temples that come to mind first.. Also consider the Boim Chapel. The craftsmanship on the front of this chapel right next to the Latin Cathedral is truly admirable.. I said whoever did this was blind I told you Paris St.. Reminds me of the facade of Notre Dame Cathedral in St. Michel.
The city also includes Potocki and Italian Palace, Pharmacy Museum, Cultural Park, Beer Museum other attractions. It is up to you to multiply this list.
Also, for those who want to get out of the city a little bit, it is possible to go to many places by train.. Rohatyn, the village where Hürrem Sultan was born, the great love of Kanuni, Ivano Frankivsk, which is also a ski resort, and Chernivitsi strong> places close to each other. You can try to visit these in one day. Also, Chernobyl can be an interesting route by train for those who love dark tourism.. Those who say they will try the old Carpathian trains can also join the Carpathian tour by train. Unfortunately, these trains were not running in March, but I suggest you try it when the weather gets better.. It’s stuck inside of me.
Where to eat and what to eat in Lviv
Those who say, don’t take us around hungry, where to eat or drink in Lviv, this place is pretty good for eating and drinking, and that’s it. It’s also a cheap place.
Breakfast
My suggestion for breakfast is Baczewski Restaurant and the next to it >Strudel Haus. Baczewski is one of the city’s most popular restaurants and requires a reservation a few days in advance for dinner.. If you don’t make a note for that enormous garden, you will find a place downstairs.. It does not accept reservations for breakfast.. Only in the garden and buffet breakfast 11O hryvnia. If you don’t go early, you will wait in line. Don’t leave the city without having an apple strudel at Strudel Haus.. Cheese omelette and coffee in the morning total 59 hryvnia. Those who want to have a Turkish breakfast prefer Glory Cafe, whose operator is Turkish.. Those who want to have breakfast with scrambled eggs can go here.. I did not choose it.
Meats
Meat in the city is also cheaper than in Turkey. But it’s not sooooo cheap. The two most famous restaurants in this regard are the The First Lviv Grill Restaurant of Meat and Justice and Mons Pius, which is mostly preferred by locals.. The torture concept of The First Grill is quite interesting.
The Most Expensive Galacian and Krivka, located in the same building, are also two restaurants with very interesting concepts.. Both are not very clear.. You can enter Kryivka accompanied by a soldier by saying the password (Slavia Ukraine). When you knock on the door of The Most Expensive Galacian upstairs, an uncle’s room dressed in Robe de chambre greets you.. He says, “This is my house, there is no restaurant here”. If you insist, it takes you inside and takes you through the next door to a luxury restaurant.
Other Flavors
Lviv Coffee Mining Manufacture, Lviv Handmade Chocolate Cafe, Mazosch Cafe, Dim Legen Cafe, Gas Lamp Cafe are also places where they beat those who do not go to Lviv.. You can find all these places with their prices and locations.

Lviv Nightlife
Now let’s come to the benefits of beans. The most curious subject about the city Lviv nightlife. First of all, all nightclubs in Lviv charge entrance fees.. Many also have a strip club section. You have to pay a fee to enter here.
The first place that comes to mind when it comes to Lviv nightlife Fashion Club. This place also works as a restaurant during the daytime. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is the Reina of Lviv.. They don’t let those who don’t dress properly. One of the rare nightclubs that doesn’t have a strip club.. Also, Rafinad People, Anturaj, Deluxe and White Rabbit are other nightclubs of the city.. There is also the Metro Club, whose operator is Turkish and preferred by Turks.
Also, nightclubs are not very active except on weekends.. For those who don’t like nightclubs, I think Beer Theater is a very enjoyable place.. There’s usually live music around 8pm most evenings.. The group is hilarious. If you don’t get a seat early, it’s not easy to find a table.. The music ends at 9:30.
Where to Stay in Lviv?
Lviv is also a very cheap city for accommodation.. The most logical thing to do is to rent a house close to Rynok Square.. Hotels aren’t that expensive either.. I stayed at the hostel because my budget was limited.. I paid 430 hryvnia (60 TL) for 5 nights at Leosphere Hostel, 400 meters from the city centre.. When I didn’t like the room on the first day, I paid a difference of 120 grivna (17 TL) for a room with fewer people and passed.. The most crowded room of the hostel is bad, the other rooms are good. The kitchen is very bad, but luckily, eating out is so cheap in Lviv that you don’t need a kitchen.. There is always hot water in the bathroom. The location is very good.
Lviv Shopping
The city is famous for its chocolate.. Also if you like tea like me Ahmed Tea is very cheap here. And the bergamot of Twistea, which I bought here for the first time, turned out to be legendary.. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a big tea leaf in my life.
There is Lviv Forum shopping mall within 15 minutes walking distance from the back of the Opera House.. I don’t think there’s anything too funny there.. On the way there, we came across the local market on the left of the road.. When we made our way through that market, we discovered both meat and food markets.. I bought tea from here. Credit cards are not accepted in this market.. I would definitely say stop by here for shopping.
How to Go to Lviv? Transportation from the Airport to the City
The fact that the most convenient Ukraine tickets are to Lviv and Kharkiv has a role in why the city is so preferred.. You can find Lviv tickets for 190-200 TL with Ukraine Airlines during the winter season.. I bought it for 365 TL from THY in March with the campaign.. One week after I bought the ticket, there were Lviv tickets for 180-200 TL in the 50 percent campaign of Pegasus.. Now, for May and later, ticket prices generally exceed 500 TL.. If you catch the Kyiv campaign, reaching Lviv in 3-4 hours by train is also a solution.. THY is the most ideal flight times.
Transportation from Lviv Airport to the City
By Taxi
When you want to go from the airport to the city centre, In general, Turks prefer taxi because it is cheap.. Airport taxis charge like 150 hryvnia (21 TL) to scam tourists. 70-80 hryvnia when you call a taxi from outside. You can ask the tourist office at the airport to call a taxi for you.. For English speaking taxi service:
You can call +380982391515, +380972391515 and +380952391515.
By Public Transport
Obviously, public transport is much more attractive than a taxi if you haven’t arrived at night.. The minibus number 48 and the trolleybus number 9 arrive at the stop just opposite the airport exit.. Minibus 4 hryvnias (56 kurus, $0.15), trolleybus 2 hryvnias (28 kurus, $0.075). The trolleybus is much more comfortable, and it comes every 6-7 minutes.. It leaves you in front of Ivan Frako State University in approximately 20 minutes.. Rynoh Square, which is the city center, is only 5-6 minutes’ walk from here.
Lviv İletişim (Ukraine GSM Lines)
If you, like me, do not use Turkish lines abroad, I suggest you the company of Turkcell. It’s okay to get a line from Life. You pay 50 grivna (7 TL) for the SIM card.. I paid 5GB internet, unlimited calls in Life, 750 minutes on other lines and 75 hryvnia (10,5 TL) for SMS.. In addition, there is free wifi in many places in the city center, but still, this much internet and minutes for a total of 17 TL is a great convenience in my opinion.
Greece‘s greenest island Lesbos owes its green nature to water resources. Lesbos, the third largest island of the country, has lush forests, water springs, tiny canyons, endemic plants and incredible mountain views.
The island’s second largest city, Plomari, is and places that manage to stay away from the negative effects of urbanization due to its geographical location.. When you say the second largest city of the island, Plomari is not a city-like place.. The size that we can call the largest town or seaside resort in Turkey.. With its scattering mountain villages, the population of 7 thousand finds it difficult.
Plomari Square
With its pristine beaches, historical wooden houses, small taverns, plane and olive trees, coffee houses and views, Plomari journey is one of the best options to get away from it all.. No matter how crowded and active the center of Lesbos is, Plomari experiences the opposite.
The birthplace of Barbaros
As Captain-i Derya, the first captain of the Ottoman Empire Barbaros Hayrettin Pasha, who was the pasha and the great admiral, was born in Plomari in 1473.. Although there is no trace of Barbaros in Plomari, this name is very important for the history of the seafaring town.
Akrasi, Ampeliko, Megalohori, Neohori, Paleohori, which is known as Plomaritohoria on the south coast of Lesbos The town, consisting of the villages of Plagia, Trigonas, has a strategic location.. Dominating Chios in Greece and Karaburun in Izmir, the town has a deep-rooted trade tradition.
Beautiful photos can be taken in the side streets of Plomari
The place where ouzo and olive oil soap were first produced
strong>
Within the Greek islands, 19. Turning into one of the most important centers of industry, commerce, production and maritime trade in the mid-century, Plomari is also the place where the Greek national drink ouzo was first produced.. Today, just like raki, the quality of ouzo is measured by the water used.. Since Plomari has the best quality drinking water sources in the geography of Greece, the aroma it adds to ouzo is noticed everywhere.. There is no production today, except for a few ouzo workshops.. Plomari, with its beaches and cultural tourism, is a region where European, American and Turkish tourists spend more time in high season.. Since it is not very well known, the region, which is not crowded and uncomplicated, is ideal for those who want to relax and have a peaceful holiday. Ouzo, which he throws, is consumed in a similar way in coffee houses today.. Drinks thrown together while playing backgammon or chatting with friends accompany the pleasant conversation.. Unlike Turkey, the coffeehouse culture in Greece also includes the offering of liquor.
ouzos produced in Plomari
Because of the ouzo production, it is between Lesbos and Plomari. there is serious competition. What makes the cute town one step ahead of this competition is the quality water source and the qualified anise grown in the region with aromatic plants.. It is possible to count Pitsiladi, Yannaçi, Varvayani and Plomari/Isidoro Arvaniti among the ouzos that have become brands in the town.
Things to do in Plomari
The so-called ‘old town’ in the center of the town, which is one of the oldest settlements on the island, is where you can witness typical Greek architecture.. Two-story, bay window, mostly wooden houses line the narrow streets.. It is essential to enjoy walking among the historical houses on quiet and calm streets without traffic noise and to breathe the atmosphere of the town.
There are many shops, shops and coffee houses around the big plane tree in the city square.. After wandering the streets, it is quite enjoyable to relax, have a drink and chat with the local people.
The beaches, each carrying the blue flag, which are chirpy in the summer season, are an unforgettable experience for those who love sea, sand and sun holidays.. Agios Isidoros Beach is shown among the few beaches not only in the region but also in Greece.
Oceanis Cafe
Make sure to try frappe, one of the cold drinks consumed by the Greeks.. Iced coffee, which is prepared by adding milk and sugar according to preference, is available in cafes and coffee houses in every corner of the town.. One of my suggestions is the Oceanis Cafe, where we sit to drink frappe with its stylish design.. Souffle is around 3€, waffle is around 4€, frappe is around 2€, Turkish (Greek) coffee is around 1.5€.. When you sit in all restaurants and cafes, a large glass of water is offered free of charge.. Get immersed in life by sitting in the cafes that stretch towards the beach and the port.
There are 3 different museums in the town that appeal to enthusiasts. Varvayianni Ouzo Museum, Lomari Isidoros Arvanitis Ouzo Museum and Soap Museum are must-sees to see the most important production tools for this town.. The hospitality and warm welcome at the museums make people happy.
Where to stay in Plomari
There are nearly 25 accommodation options in the charming town.. Among these places that can be preferred according to the budget and accommodation concept, there is also a hostel, a luxury studio.. So before you go, decide exactly what kind of place you want to stay.. I stayed at Frini Studios on my trip to Plomari. There is a special 10 percent discount for Keşfetsek at the property that got full marks from me for its hospitality and approach.. Check out my Frini Studios post for discount details and a closer look at the facility.
The Mytilene-Plomari Road
How to get to Plomari
<
Plomari is 42 km from the center of the island of Lesvos.. Due to the nature of the road, this journey takes approximately 50 minutes by private vehicle.. In order to go to this town from Turkey, it is necessary to take a ferry from Ayvalık to Lesbos.. After the ferry ride that takes 1 hour and 15 minutes, the port of Lesbos is reached.. There is a municipal bus service between Mytilene and Plomari that runs 3-4 times a day.. However, without the hassle of the city bus, choose a pleasant journey by renting a car and being included in the nature view.
Plomari with its unspoiled nature, friendly people, historical structures, magnificent beaches, ouzo, olive oil and soap >, one of the most beautiful corners of Lesbos. Those planning a trip to Mytilene should spend a few days in this beautiful town.
After our tiring and intense trip to India, we got out of the chaos and arrived in Nepal, where we said “oh there is a world”. We had a comfortable journey to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, with a 55-minute flight from Varanasi.. Nepal is 3 hours 20 minutes ahead of Turkey and 15 minutes ahead of India.
From Victoria Subirano’s book named A teacher in Kathmandu so that you can get an idea before you come to Nepal. you can watch the movie “A Mirror in the Sky” which he freely inspired. It is the film that reveals how the education system in Nepal works, poverty and mysticism.
Kathmandu is located in the valley at the confluence of the Vishnumati and Bagmati rivers.. There are dozens of temples hidden between its streets.. While it is difficult to breathe from the exhaust fumes in its narrow streets, it is certain that you will discover many things in the company of colorful shops, peddlers, bookshops and local people.
A blend of 2 religions, It is very possible to see that Buddhism and Hinduism coexist in the country where it is intertwined, and this unity is reflected even in objects and temples.. Whether Buddhist or Hindu, everyone can easily perform their daily rituals according to their religious beliefs.. There are enough temples in the city. Someone who goes to work or wanders around the streets completes his prayer by ringing the bell in the tiny temple on the street and applying the red paint inside the temple to his forehead.. A person who has prayed has red paint on his forehead. When you see this, know that that person has prayed. Let’s not forget that the main element of flower worship. During the worship we witnessed in temples, they offer flowers to their gods and light candles.
We were surprised that the fruits we ate did not taste salty, although agriculture is the livelihood of the country.. Especially when we say that the banana is disgusting that we have not eaten in our life, we say it’s like straw, we ate a banana that tasted just like that.. We got our Nepal visa quickly and very easily at the airport for 25 USD (15 days). They came to meet us because our hotel had a pick-up service.. We arrived at our hotel without the need to take a taxi.
We wrote the details and places we visited in separate sections to be more descriptive.
But first, let’s list the must-haves and some information you need to know for those who are considering coming to Nepal:
Take a mask. Too much air pollution in the city. If you don’t want to walk in dust and smoke, take your mask.
Bring walking shoes. The roads are very bad and dusty.. If you don’t want your nails to get dirty, wear sneakers.
Those who come to Nepal by plane should get a free map from the airport.. The map you will get from the hotels is not very descriptive and guiding.
Visit the bookstores in the Thamel area. There is a wide variety of books, magazines and many products for anyone interested in books, not just travelers.
Buy LP-Nepal. If not, you can find it in Thamel.. But those who do not want to buy definitely need a guide in the temple areas.. But for me, the temples and the figures carved on the temple do not mean anything, if you only want to take pictures of them, you do not even need a guide.. They charge up to 100 rs from tourists, don’t give more than 25 rs. For your information! Locals don’t like discounts in Kathmandu.
. If you are going to shop, know that they sell you exponentially more expensive.
Although not everywhere, 25% tax is charged in many restaurants and cafes.
Have dinner at Northfield Restaurant in the Thamel area.. There will be a pleasant dinner next to a cozy wood fire accompanied by Nepali music.
Entrance fee to all Durbar squares.
Kathmandu Durbar Square : 750 rs.
Bhaktapur Durbar Square : 1100 rs.
Patan Durbar Square : 500 rs.
Eat jujudhav yogurt in Bhaktapur. We should have paid 25 rs for 3 yogurts, but because we are tourists we paid 150 rs
Eat Daal Bhaat. It’s like Indian Thali.
Eat Momo. A dish resembling a tibetan dumpling. Vegetable, buffalo meat, chicken options are available. A little spicy and bitter.
During the time we were in Kathmandu, we made kora in Buddhist temples, translated mantras and sent our wishes to the universe in the fastest way, we worshiped according to God in Hindu temples :), We photographed the most beautiful examples of Newari architecture, followed closely the funerals of the cremated dead in accordance with Hinduism, practiced their rituals, respectively, Svayambhu Mahachaitya (Monkey Temple) temple, Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Bhaktapur, Changu Narayan Temple, Kathmandu and Patan Durbar Squares. SummaryArticle NameNepale ArrivalDescriptionAfter our tiring and intense trip to India, we got out of the chaos and arrived in Nepal, where we said “oh there is a world”. We had a comfortable journey with a 55-minute flight from Kathmandu Ya Varanasi, the capital of Nepal.. Nepal is 3 hours and 20 minutes ahead of Turkey and 15 minutes ahead of India.
There are some places that I came across somewhere and noted down and I couldn’t wait to go… Here is such a special route for me in Gdansk
I have been on my master’s degree for almost a year. Since I live in Brescia, Italy, I plan to visit various cities in Europe in combination.. I chose Gdansk first and said I’d go to Norway from here, to Alesund…

My Plane Could Not Land in Gdansk

That’s exactly how I got to the city and my hostel, but thanks to the Polish, who helped me while I was waiting for the bus. Thanks to a college couple…

Sweetly narrowing the top floors…
I admit that I saw the aerial view of these house-filled streets and fell in love with Gdansk and I thought I should see it. . Yes, maybe I won’t be able to see it from the air, but I’ll still see it.
“The top floors, which narrow down sweetly…”
There Could Be A Modern Building Without Destroying The City!
But here it is one thing to visit and see another photo of it.. The photos did not have modern siblings of these typical Gdansk houses either!
Yes, as a civil engineer, I noticed the modern buildings in Gdansk from the very first minute. Because the modern structures here are “we are modern” They don’t smirk They went and built with a nice modern interpretation of architecture similar to their old brothers.
I can’t say I’m not impressed with this work, Gdansk can still be visited after 50 years…
Modern Gdansk Houses I Like Very Much, There Are Some More Futuristic As Well… These Also Provided a Nice Transition / Modern-Old
Is Crane One Of The Attractions In Gdansk?
Now by the riverside While walking on the promenade called “Deptak Nadwodny”, I see one of the first things that come to mind when I think of places to visit in Gdansk.
What is that Crane?
Interesting place in Gdansk Crane The River And The Crane Look Better Here
Yes “Crane” is one of the interesting structures in Gdansk. This used to be a crane building used to load ships. If I said old, of course.. century is quite old The original state is destroyed, but the current one is worth seeing.
There is the Black Pearl of the pirates of the caribbean a little further ahead, there are nice photos, try it here…
Black Pearl is also here <
Like the Harry Potter Scene: Mariacka Street!
I’m diving down the river into Mariacka Street now
Mariacka at first sight became my favorite place in this city!
I feel like I’m on the street where I’m going to choose a wand for Hogwarts. “Hagrid, where do we get the wand?”
Can it be without a photo Mariacka Street
In Gdansk, you can feel an interestingly slightly British air; mysterious buildings painted in a depressing style, staircases in front of houses small courtyards and magnificent artistic details…
These small courtyard houses on Mariacka Street are boutique shops! Local products, gifts or jewellery, whatever you are looking for. All meticulously furnished with excellent details, this place can be studied for a few hours.
Magnets Here from the Map Detailed Shops in Mariacka Are So Sweet
Across the river side of the street, the huge St.. Mary’s Church…
Undoubtedly, it is one of the most magnificent buildings in the city, you can go inside and have a look at it.. Mary’s Church Is Also Visible
The Rain Follows Me
Just at that moment I’m being caught in the rain!
If it rains, I have a solution; raincoat and my umbrella…
Now it’s time where the heart of Gdansk beats; Long Sunday!
Long Sunday With Shaking Rain
Long Sunday
Long Sunday ie Długi Targ is a classic Polish style market-square. I don’t know why these guys built such thin and long squares, but it happened
As the name suggests, this is a long market area. If I said market, it means small peddlers and generally the shops lined up along the square, better if I say square…
Long Market / Długi Targ
You can see the most beautiful of the typical cute pencil houses of Gdansk that I mentioned in the Long Market.. The ones here are a little more historical and have wonderful decorations.
Also, I think the most eye-catching structure of the square is Gdansk Town Hall.
Gdansk Town Hall with its golden inlaid tower and legendary beauty. The clock may be the most magnificent structure in this city!
The Long Market and the Magnificent Gdansk Town Hall
Gdansk, the City of Gates
My market is at one end of the street, the Golden Gate is at the riverside end there is also the Green Door…
I forgot to mention; Gdansk is the city of gates
You can often see these gates in the old city centre.. It is generally built like 2-3 storey private buildings and has arch-shaped openings from the inside and you enter and exit the square and the street from there.. Especially the Golden Gate is another beautiful one, don’t miss it…
I’ll be visiting soon The Golden Gate / The surprise is gone! The Sun Is Clearly Opening The Gates of Gdansk: This Green Gate by the River
Is it a Rainbow?
And these gates are rain shields for me! Because I’m stuck at the door leading to the river from Long Market, it’s raining heavily
But a few minutes later, “the sun?”
If there’s rain and sun, let the rainbow come !
My Rain Shield Behind the Green Door I Watch Gdansk with Rain and Sun; Delicious!
Things suddenly turn upside down in Gdansk, it’s sunny now
The weather in the city has really changed with the sun and rainbow. Those depressing houses have turned into bright spring colors, now It’s time to wander the streets and take photos a lot.

Gdansk’s Islands
I set foot on one of Gdansk’s islands from the Green Bridge in front of the Green Gate. I say island, but it is a part of the city I say so only because rivers run on both sides.
This is also a very touristic area, but it is under construction for now, that catches my attention the most. lots of mobile sweet sellers I see around. Poland’s sugary pastry desserts are in vain, definitely try it!
Here’s the Island for You Just Kidding The River Divides A Wonderful Street I Discovered, Find It “Poland’s Candy Sweets pastry desserts of all kinds”
“The cafes of this city are very nice”
I want to have a snack and rest now. Şso that I can have a little view so that I can both fill my stomach and watch the city
Eat a great boutique pancake shop called “Pan Kejk” on the Long Market I came. There is everything to eat and drink here, and you won’t believe the prices. I got a great sandwich, salad and unlimited coffee for only 15-20 zloty.
I Need to Have a Rest and Eat Something / “Pakejk” Gdansk
Time to enjoy sunny Gdansk. I pass the Golden Gate at the upper end of the Long Market and open to the modern part of the city.
There is a triumphal arch-like gate and another historical building behind the Golden Gate.. You have now reached the wide streets of Gdansk here.
Gdansk Became Another Beautiful When The Sun Comes Out The Golden Gate I Just Mentioned Gdansk Houses Also Shine Differently!
A Little Out of the City, The Environment Is Different
There is a huge modern shopping mall right across the street. It is also possible to see socialist-style buildings when you go to a little bit further in the city. Gdansk dates back to different historical periods. It is a city that has witnessed it too.
I am now finishing my sightseeing in Gdansk.. You might think that this city is an atmospheric place anyway, and all its streets and avenues are special in general, so I say go everywhere
