Lviv is great place to stay. It is safe during the night. I am a student and live there for 2 years and I haven’t experienced harassment at all. Everyone just minds their own business. Because of the war it is sometimes unsafe to stay there

In the city center, security is at a high level, the police patrol the streets. However, we have a large number of bars concentrated in the tourist area. In general, there is a large community of people and a tourist city. People are friendly and the streets are well lit. Currently, we have a curfew in effect due to Russia's attack on Ukraine, this is an additional security measure. Robberies are extremely rare in our country, but you should be careful on public transport and at the rally when you meet gypsies.

The city is overall very safe, not counting ruzzian attacks but if you go to shelter every air alarm, you will be very safe, basements are accessible almost everywhere because of war. Generally speaking, the city is safe, russia is the only problem for us now

overall city is ok for people who live here, but considering i am a girl of course it would be kinda dangerous for me to walk alone in the dark. it is better to walk in the areas which are lighted and crowded
