This is a gorgeous cemetery and you can visit the graves of many famous Ukrainians, including Ivan Franko. I took a tramvai to the cemetery (It left from the center of the city and stopped right in front of the cemetery--perhaps a 10 minute ride). You have to pay a small fee for admission, I think it was a little... More

Really nice but a bit sad place. It's a cemetery at least. There are a lot of graves of famous Ukrainians. Beautiful sculptures. The tram is not going often there. So better to take a bus till church of Petra and Pavla, and from then 5 min by foot. More

Absolutely serese place to stroll and relax, to contemplate history of the city and passing by... Beautiful sculptures, ornaments and landscape. Sad thing is that the tumbs are being notorically destroyed by the Ukrainians? For example the plaster pictures of the people are broken and you can clearly see it was done with a stone or a nife. On purpose.... More

A significant spot especially for Poles. Generally, it is an ideal place if you want to slip into reverie and reflect on life, past, future for a few hours ... Make sure the weather is good and your shoes are comfortable. More

A very sad, but insightful place. It costs a modest 10 grivnas to enter, but you can pause and reflect at the hundreds of lives lost in the past conflict of Ukraine and Poland, with hundreds of graves and monuments from both Polish and Ukrainian people as well as some German and Russian. Definitely recommended for any traveller. More
