It feels safe, quite and comfortable. You can walk at night and order taxi. I never herd about any crimes from my friends who is leaving here. But now is a war time and even if Lviv is far from front line it still can be dangerous.

Lviv is quite safe for a girl travelling alone (talking from experience, because I wasn’t born here, so at times I was travelling here on my own). Unfortunately, today it is not 100% safe because of the war, even though it’s safer than many Ukrainian cities.
