Cost of Living in Lviv

I also would like to warn foreigners like General Van something....
If you are coming to independent democratic country of Ukraine to enjoy yourself, eat fine food, to do some sightseeing or simply observe and talk to locals - you are welcomed. However, if you want to spread here your own ideas of either right wing or left wing origin, you will simply run into problems.

We here had a pro- European revolution in 2014 , then a Russian invasion and more recently a free and fare elections to chart a more neutral course... As we Ukrainians try to agree among ourselves we ask Europe and other Global powers only to assist us in defending ourselves against the blatant Russian aggression as is the duty world community has before Ukraine according to our country’s denuclearization agreement of 1994 (Budapest Memorandum)

So if you have other agenda simply stay out...

Oleg Yatskar - Ukraine had a stable Economy before the Western Coup De Tat, Ukraine only has itself to blame for the violent, Western backed removal of a democratically elected president. Lvov likes flying the EU flag these days, but the EU probably won't be around long enough for Ukraine to join. Nevertheless, good country although Lvov errs on the side of Fasicsm

Numbeo assumes expat living and you can see the methodology how they calculate four-person family monthly costs in their Estimator. Look in the menu under "Cost of Living" -> Estimator.

Purely methodological

Don’t sit only in Lviv. Also you can enjoy much cheaper cities for turism porpose in Ukraine, I lived month in downtown of Chernihiv (city near Kiev). Rent was twice cheaper than in Lviv. Cool restaurants and amazing old culture in one place. Found eco Belorussian food products in local market. I got rest with English speaking locals(girls;)), with much cheaper options I had ever in life.

Hi everyone.
Me, my wife, a 5 year old girl and a 1 year old boy are interested in a long time-out (between three
months and a year) in Lviv.

Our monthly budget is around 1000 US Dollars. Is it enough to rent 2 bedrooms apt. + bills + groceries?

Also, we don't have EU passports. Do you know if the stay in Ukraine is limited to 90 days?

Thanks.

So in 2013 you could get 12 UAH for one British pound, you now get 36 UAH, the value of their currency has gone down 3x since the war started.

You can stay in a nice hostel in Lviv for 3GBP a night; Booking.com wow 0o0

Beer is 40 pence, cigarettes 80 pence, macdonalds is 2 pounds.

I know where my next holiday destination is ;)

For Ksenia: You can contact my friend Rostik who has years of experience with residential real estate rentals.

You, "anonymous" in the last post - for your information we are in a war with Russia which annexed and occupied our territory, that is why income levels have fallen recently. If you are a foreigner who ism enjoying our cheap prices - keep enjoying them and make sure you keep your mouth shut because yesterday our parliament passed the law calling Russia the aggressor and occupier OFFICIALLY!!! Make sure what you say and do during your stay in Ukraine does not fall under one of the paragraphs of our new criminal law on denying this Russian agression!!!

Hi David,
I think a resonable budget for a person havig to rent a one room central apartment would be 600-750$ monthly and that is well above what locals have. You will rent a place for 250-300$, food should cost around 150$monthly and the rest is yours to keep and enjoy!!! In Lviv it should be fine...not super but comfortable by local standards. Like that you would go out at least two times a week... Hope that helps!!!
