Lviv (Ukrainian: Львів, L’viv [ljviw], German: Lemberg; Polish: Lwów; Russian: Львов, Lvov; see also other names) is a city in western Ukraine, the administrative center of the Lviv Oblast, and is designated as its own separate raion (district) within the oblast. The city is regarded as one of the main cultural centres of Ukraine. It has 733,000 [1] inhabitants — of which 88% are Ukrainians, 8% Russians and 1% Poles — with an additional 200,000 commuting daily from suburbs.
The city is home to many industries and institutions of higher education such as Lviv University and Lviv Polytechnic. It has a philharmonic orchestra and Lviv Opera and Ballet Theater. The historic city centre is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Lviv celebrated its 750th anniversary in September 2006.
Lviv is located on the verge of the Roztocze Upland, approximately seventy kilometres from the Polish border. Lviv's altitude averages 289 metres above sea level although there are many hills located within the confines of the city. Its highest point is Vysokyy Zamok (the High Castle), a hill of 409 metres above sea level.
The old city, surrounded by walls, was located at the foothills of the High Castle and the banks of the river Poltva. In the 13th century the river was full of water, and used for commerce and transportation of goods. In the early 20th century, as the river became polluted, it was covered in areas where it flows through the city. The central street of Lviv, Freedom Avenue (Prospect Svobody) is right above the river, as well as the famous Opera House.

Lvov (actually "L'viv") is the main city of the L'viv Oblast (region) of Ukraine. As was mentioned above, it was founded by the Poles, annexed by the Austrians, and eventually became part of Ukraine.
It is in the western tip of Ukraine, very near the Polish border (not far from Krakow).
