First-time visitors to Lviv try to see as much as they can. Some people rent a car or other means of transportation (moped, scooter, etc.) for this purpose. But with all the convenience, no car will not allow you to get acquainted with the city as a simple bicycle will do. And for this purpose, it is not at all necessary to drag the "iron horse" with you on the road! Some of the city's sports stores offer bike rentals, and Lviv has plenty of street rentals where you can borrow a bike and go explore one of the most beautiful cities in Ukraine!
