LVIV MUSIC TOUR 4 DAYS

Of course, Lviv has much more to offer. We drive to the High Castle, from the top of which you will enjoy a marvelous look over the city. We also visit the main building of Lviv University building and go up to Jura Mountain and visit St. George’s Cathedral. Someone has once told that each society is worth exactly as much as it commemorates its dead. To prove it we offer you to visit Lychakiv cemetery. In an easy way you learn a lot about important personalities who had been writing the history of Lviv for centuries. In the late afternoon we visit Lvivarnya – the museum of Lviver beer and beer traditions. We get acquainted with the history of brewing, watch the brewing process, and see under the microscope, what the beer is made of. And of course, we enjoy the beer tasting. In the evening we meet for dinner. In the afternoon we have a trip to Zhovkva. There we visit the amazing wooden church, which has been recently declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, visit the Synagogue, Zhovkva Castle, the Collegiate Church, the Basilian Monastery.

After the breakfast, we leave Lviv and visit the Olesko Castle, the oldest surviving castle in Galicia, as well as the magnificent but now dilapidated former Pidhirsti Palace. Both are associated with the Sobieski family. The Olesko Castle rises on a 50 m high hill. While strolling through the castle`s halls you listen to a fabled story of the birth of a Polish king. The castle in Pidhirtsi would obviously be a splendid piece in the Galician crown, if it were not in a bit neglected condition. In its times, the castle did not need to hide from his Western European brothers. The castle was often the scene for amusing events, celebrations and permanent entertainments for the local nobility.

In the afternoon we return to Lviv, where you have a few hours before the special concert. Today, the concert of K & K Philharmonic Orchestra takes place in Lviv Philharmonic. The symphony orchestra was founded in 2002 by the conductor and composer Matthias Georg Kendlinger. And today the symphony orchestra is well-known for its great music and unusual charisma in many European countries. Mr. Mathias Kendlinger has the honor and pleasure of working with his son. When Maximilian Kendlinger was 13 years old, his father gave him the baton for the first time at the Radetzky March. In 2016, Maximilian conducted his first symphony concert in the Lviv Philharmonic. And today, the two conductors stand together on the stage of the Lviv Philharmonic and Lviv Natonal Opera.

After having breakfast in the hotel you will still have a couple of hours to check the souvenirs market or simply to wander along the ancient streets without haste. You are sure to leave the place with unforgettable impressions, as well as the feeling of having experienced something special.
