Botanical Garden of Lviv Ivan Franko National University

Founded in 1892 and named after the surrounding suburbs. A botanic garden is on the park territory, founded in 1911 and occupying the territory of 18.5 hectares. At the park is a sportcomplex of the Lviv State University of Physical Culture, the "Stadium Skiff".

There are about 400,000 people buried here, including Ukrainian heroes such as Ivan Franko. Cemetery is an enormous 42 ha, and very pleasant to wander around on a network of variously-maintained paths. At the back there are series of war memorials. The cemetery is considered a museum - hence the entry fee. There's also supposedly a further fee charged for permission to take pictures (it might be for professional shoots, there's no way they can enforce such fee for simple tourist).

On the central hill about a half-hour walk from the Lychakivskiy Cemetery. This is a collection of wooden buildings from all over Western Ukraine, dismantled and reassembled here; the multi-tiered churches are the most spectacular buildings, and are all still working churches. Tickets: 10 грн normal, 5 грн discount.

In the park is a unique open-air museum that has gathered the best collection of Ukrainian wooden architecture. Museum successfully combines hilly terrain, vegetation Carpathians restored and carefully moved historic buildings from different regions of Western Ukraine. The park is approx. 84 ha.
