Lviv is active, dynamic and extremely full city, especially if we are talking about events. The autumn of 2021 will once again confirm the festive mood of the city, so we hasten to tell you about the large-scale events of this season.
European Heritage Days in Lviv 2021: A city for everyone
What is it? The annual event has a great mission - it draws attention to the cultural heritage of Lviv and shows its value. A bit of history: the event was "born" back in 1991, when the Council of Europe launched the European Heritage Days. Since 2011, we have also joined the initiative in Ukraine. Moreover, this year we have a mega important task - to make the event as accessible as possible for people with limited mobility and to explore the issue of inclusiveness in Lviv. During three days, everyone will be able to look behind the doors of little known buildings of the city: The Fire Museum, the Puppet Theater, the University of Life Safety, and many more.
Where to come? The events will take place in different locations.
When to plan? September 10-12.
Who will be interested? People of all ages. Lviv residents and guests of the city. Residents who are interested in the city in which they live. Everyone who is interested in history, culture, art.
