Is it safe to travel to Lviv?

March 12, 2024

Q My wife is a textile artist and we try to attend the private views for her exhibitions. She has an upcoming exhibition in Lviv, Ukraine. We were wondering if it is possible or indeed safe to travel there?

Is it safe to travel to Lviv?

A Since Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the western borders of the nation have remained open. Many people of Ukrainian descent cross the frontier regularly. The busiest crossing points are those west and northwest of Lviv, the motorway links from Krakow and Warsaw respectively. In addition, many people cross the far western Ukrainian city of Uzhhorod, either to and from Kosice in Slovakia or Debrecen in Hungary.
