St. George's Cathedral is a must-see attraction in Lviv. The cathedral is so beautiful that visitors often use the photos they took as wallpaper. Located just a 20-minute walk from the city center, it is easily accessible for tourists. The cathedral is a magnificent sight, enchanting visitors with its baroque-rococo style and authentic sculptures on the facade. Inside, visitors can explore the nice crypt downstairs and find pretty souvenirs to take home. The surroundings of St. George's Cathedral are also great, with plenty of parks and restaurants nearby. Unlike other tourist spots in Lviv, there aren't many tourists around, allowing visitors to freely explore the complex. However, the lack of English signage makes it less foreigner friendly. Despite this, the cathedral is worth a visit, especially for those interested in its unique architectural style. Constructed between 1744 and 1760, it holds historical significance as one of the most important churches in Lviv. The beauty of the cathedral is further enhanced by its twilight ambiance. Although the area around the cathedral may be dirty, it is important to respect the sacredness of the place for some people. The best part is that visiting St. George's Cathedral is free of charge, making it an affordable and enjoyable experience for all.

There wasn't many tourists around like the rest of Lviv so you could walk around the complex. Unfortunately, it's not very foreigner friendly because there's absolutely no English signage.

Beautiful Catholic Cathedral! It's a bit uphill walk from the old town.
Constructed between 1744 - 1760, the baroque-rococo style church is impressive!

This 18th-century Catholic cathedral looks out over Lviv from its namesake hill on the west side of the city.
It was built over 15 years up to 1760 and its exterior ornamentation is as rich as it gets.
Against walls painted a pale yellow there are .. Read more »lavish Rococo pilasters, sculptures, balustrades and highly ornate mouldings.
Above the portal stand two dominant statues, one of St Leo and the other of St Athanasius, both the work of the Czech sculptor Johann Georg Pinsel . After all that drama the interior is a lot more discreet, but there are some fascinating things to see, like a “wonder-working” icon of Mary from the 1600s, and tombs for some eminent figures of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic church

Every time I see this place, I am surprised by its state of decay and disrepair.

Most people see the front and the inside of the cathedral, but it is worthwhile to take a walk around the whole place, to see it from different sides, and also from the Horodotska Street, where the view is “beautifully” obstructed by the circus that was built there in 1960’s.
