Lviv

Ukraine

Best for: History, Architecture, Coffee, Walking Tours, Budget Friendly

A Central European gem: baroque and Renaissance facades, an obsessive coffee culture, and churches and cobblestones at every turn. Check current travel advisories before visiting.

Stroll the UNESCO-listed Market Square, drink coffee in a themed underground café, visit the Lychakiv Cemetery's ornate sculptures, and climb the Town Hall tower for a rooftop view of the spires. One of Europe's least-discovered old towns.
