After visiting the monument, take a stroll around the park nearby. The atmosphere is lovely, and you'll find some great spots for pictures. It’s a nice break from sightseeing, and there are locals relaxing there too.

If you're into literature or history, grab a small guidebook or app about Lviv before you go. Reading up on Mitskevich's story adds a whole new layer to the experience. I wish I had done that!

Don't forget to bring some snacks or a small drink. There aren't many kiosks nearby, and finding a café can take a while. I had to wander a bit before I found a place!
