The hotel staff is 100% vaccinated
Swiss Hotel vaccinated 100% of the staff
Swiss Hotel in the center of Lviv, in which all employees are vaccinated is ready to receive from DART "Safety Mark".
For hotels that have fully vaccinated staff from COVID-19, introduce a "Safety Mark".
The health of employees and guests who come to us is important to us! Therefore, we have taken all measures to protect them and preserve their health, as well as their jobs. "We explained that we need to be vaccinated, because it is first and foremost the safety of guests and the whole team, - Every week at a meeting of employees of the hotel and restaurant talked about it. Some workers did not hide that they were afraid to be vaccinated, because they heard myths… Workers who do not travel were vaccinated with CoronaVac, and those who have frequent business trips to European countries - Pfizer. Some have chosen the Moderna vaccine. "
New quarantine rules have been announced in Ukraine. For the vaccinated it will be mitigated, for the unvaccinated - on the contrary.
This is stated in Government Resolution №1236, the amendments to which were adopted late in the evening on September 13.
What are these "color" certificates for? When the yellow quarantine zone is introduced in Ukraine, the owners of these documents will be free to visit cinemas, theaters, museums, gyms, swimming pools, mass events, such as concerts.
Previously, according to the rules of the yellow quarantine zone, cinemas and other cultural institutions had to allow only 50% of visitors. Mass events were to be held on condition that only one person per 4 square meters. In gyms: one person per 10 square meters.
However, if a visitor can present a vaccination certificate, these restrictions will not apply.
That is, there will be no restriction of the yellow zone, if at least 80% of visitors and staff of such institutions will be vaccinated at least the first dose and they will have a yellow code certificate.
At the same time, the final decision on whether to provide services only to the vaccinated, or to comply with all quarantine restrictions and to serve the unvaccinated, remains with the owner of the institution, the government explained.
Who will be allowed and who will not?
The rules will change dramatically if a red zone is introduced in Ukraine. According to forecasts, this may happen no earlier than November.
According to the rules of the red zone, everything in Ukraine is closed - shopping malls, cafes, restaurants, cinemas, markets, gyms, canceled concerts. There are only grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations.
Most Ukrainians do not plan to be vaccinated against coronavirus - a study
Covid-certificates, vaccination and leave
These red-level restrictions will not exist if all participants (visitors, employees and organizers) have a "green" code certificate.
That is, even in the red zone, visitors should be allowed into a restaurant or movie theater if they and their staff are fully vaccinated.
The certificate verification procedure is not completely clear. For example, who and how will count 80% of restaurant visitors vaccinated with the first dose.
The Ministry of Health says that it will be enough to present a phone with an electronic code certificate or have a paper certificate of vaccination.
There is also a question with the Action application. Now the electronic certificate is available there only after a full course of vaccination.
Currently, many users complain that it has not been downloaded yet - face recognition does not work, some other problems.
Under the new quarantine rules, certificates in Action must appear after the first vaccination. It is unclear whether the developers will have time for this decision.
Without vaccinations in the cafe will not be allowed now?
No. In Ukraine, as of September 14, there is still a green quarantine zone.
The resolution comes into force in 7 days from the moment of publication. That is, restrictions for unvaccinated must work no earlier than September 20.
They will be used as soon as Ukraine moves to the yellow zone.
According to the Ministry of Health, this may happen in the coming week, when the state commission on technogenic safety and emergencies will convene.
5 million people are fully vaccinated in Ukraine. That is a little over 10% of the population.
Police raids
The Ministry of Internal Affairs said that they had resumed inspections for compliance with quarantine rules.
Last week, the police inspected 40,000 enterprises and drew up 205 administrative reports on quarantine violations. There were almost 3,200 resolutions on non-compliance with the mask regime.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs also promises to intensify inspections of forgery of vaccination certificates.
In particular, the sites from which they are sold are tracked.
In six months, the police fired 350,000 reports of quarantine violations.
What is the "yellow level"
The yellow zone provides a mask mode, as well as maintaining a social distance of 1.5 meters.
Main limitations:
- prohibition of mass events with the participation of more than 1 person per 4 square meters in buildings or on the territory where they are planned;
- ban on filling cinemas and other halls of cultural institutions for more than half of the seats;
- prohibition to fill gyms and fitness centers more than 1 person per 10 square meters

Ukraine and EU sign Open Skies Agreement
Aviation visa-free travel was signed. What does the "open skies" agreement between Ukraine and the EU mean for hotels in Ukraine, and in particular for Lviv hotels
Ukraine and the European Union during the summit in Kiev signed an agreement "On a Single Aviation Area", which is also called "aviation visa-free" or "open skies" with the EU.
The Open Skies Agreement stipulates that European companies will be able to fly to any airport in Ukraine without restrictions, and Ukrainian airlines will be able to fly to any airport in the EU. At the same time, Ukraine undertakes to comply with European aviation safety standards.
The document has to be ratified by all EU member states, but the Ministry of Infrastructure stated that the agreement will be in force until all ratification procedures are completed.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also confirmed after the signing that the agreement will take effect immediately.
Even before the signing of the agreement, European low-cost companies announced their intention to significantly expand into Ukraine and start working in almost half of the regional centers.
Instead, Ukrainian airlines believe the deal will hurt domestic carriers.
A long way to the common sky
The process of unification of Ukrainian aviation space with the EU has been going on since the presidency of Leonid Kuchma, since 1999.
In December 2006, the EU Council authorized the European Commission to start negotiations with Ukraine on a common airspace.
In October 2013, the parties agreed on the text of the agreement, but the signing was blocked due to the conflict between the United Kingdom and Spain over the territorial status of Gibraltar and its airport. Official Madrid blocked the deal because Kyiv recognized the airport as British.
With the entry into force of Ukraine's visa-free regime with the EU in 2017, Kyiv was also expecting an "aviation visa-free regime", which was to lead to a travel boom. The signing of the agreement was expected in the near future, but the case was delayed.
After the final withdrawal of Great Britain from the EU, the obstacles to signing the agreement disappeared.
In June 2021, the EU Council agreed to sign an agreement with Ukraine, as well as with Armenia, Tunisia and Qatar.
Should we expect an air boom in Ukraine?
Today, there are bilateral air services agreements with each EU country. And, according to these agreements, restrictions are set on the number of carriers and weekly flights.
This made it difficult for new carriers to enter popular flights.
The new agreement with the EU stipulates that restrictions on the number of carriers and flights will be lifted.
"For example, there is a permit for 14 flights a week to Amsterdam for one carrier on each side. The new agreement removes such restrictions. That is, it means that any European carriers can fly to Kiev," said aviation law lawyer Andriy Huk. in an interview with BBC News Ukraine.
The agreement applies not only to passenger traffic, but also to freight and mail.
Andriy Huk adds that the agreement will be used primarily by airlines that offer low ticket prices and minimal service.
In particular, Europe's largest low-cost carrier Ryanair recently announced that it plans to "aggressively expand" the Ukrainian aviation market after Ukraine joins the agreement on a single airspace with the EU.
"The only market I would pay attention to is Ukraine. I think we will become the main investor in Ukraine when it joins the European open skies," Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary was quoted as saying by Reuters.
He stated that the company is considering working in 12 cities of Ukraine at once. Now they fly from five.
The company is even considering starting domestic shipments.
Wizzair, Europe's other largest low-cost carrier, also operates in five Ukrainian cities.
What are the advantages
First of all, it's about the benefits for passengers, experts say. Because for them, this agreement is a greater choice, and therefore more opportunities for travel.
"The greater the competition, the lower the price of tickets and the more passengers will be transferred from trains to planes," said lawyer Andriy Huk.
The second beneficiary of this agreement is the airports of Ukraine, which will receive more aircraft and receive more passenger traffic. Therefore, regional airports will have a chance to attract investment and development.
However, the coronavirus pandemic may make adjustments to the forecasts for the rapid development of the aviation market in Ukraine.
We can conclude that hotels in Lviv will receive tens of thousands of new guests from Europe, who will be happy to spend their money in the fabulous city of Lviv. By the way, one of the hotels with European service - the hotel "Swiss". All coronavirus staff have been vaccinated at this hotel, and all staff speak foreign languages such as English, Italian, Polish, Arabic and Russian. This is also a hotel in the center of Lviv with a centuries-old history, which will make you fall in love with the city of Lviv. "Swiss" is located in the heart of the city, a two-minute walk to the Market Square. This is the best choice of the guest - the hotel "Swiss" - HOUSE AWAY FROM HOME. Each room is decorated in a different style, the hotel has the following room categories: standard, superior, junior suite, suite, royal suite, family rooms. If you ask yourself - "What is the best restaurant near the hotel in the center of Lviv", the answer is sure to be - a restaurant serving Italian cuisine and "Valentino". This is the first restaurant of such a high level in Lviv. The hotel also has a wine cellar, where they found a menu written in Polish when excavating. This indicates that the menu found here confirms another indisputable fact, namely that the hotel "Swiss" is a historic hotel that has transferred Swiss perfection and Galician hospitality in our time, interpreting it in modern realities and needs of guests of the city of Lviv. .

19 places to visit in Lviv
The western tourist capital of Ukraine - Lviv has been welcoming guests from the most remote corners of Ukraine and the world for centuries. This city has also long been a must-see for lovers of architecture and different cultures, because it is where most of the architectural monuments are preserved and almost the entire center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Locals residents and not only know that in the city of Lion every house, quarter, lane breathes history. They preserve the memory of what happened many centuries ago, where the battles for the western outpost of the Austro-Hungarian Empire took place, the city that was besieged by Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky, the city that fell in love with many kings of Poland and Rzeczpospolita, emperors of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, a city that inspired great artists, writers, artists, composers and became some of them home.
This creates a unique charm, which fascinates tourists as soon as they set foot on Lviv land. Therefore, it is difficult to even imagine that someone has not yet had time to visit this wonderful city. But in fact, there are many people who are just going to visit the city of Lviv and do not know what to see in Lviv.
Taking into account the preferences of tourists and residents of Lviv, we have selected for you a list of places that every tourist should visit when he gets to Lviv. We begin our virtual journey that can come true. All you need is a wish!
Rynok Square
The most famous square in Lviv is Rynok Square. Located in the center, in the old part of town. So there is something to look at, because the local houses still remember the events of past centuries. Only representatives of the nobility had the right to build on Rynok Square during the Middle Ages. The first mention of the central city square dates back to the 13th century. For many centuries, this square was the center of city life. Here they organized cultural events, processions, sold vegetables, fruits and flowers on the market, which were grown by locals.
City Hall
If you are in Lviv, it is the duty of every tourist to look at the central part of the city from the town hall tower. Lviv City Hall is the highest in Ukraine, its height is 65 meters. So it is a good view of the city. By the way, the building is an architectural monument and is protected not only in Ukraine but also by UNESCO.
Lviv National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater named after Solomiya Krushelnytska
Tourists often take their first photo in Lviv against the background of the Opera House. The people of Lviv owe such a beautiful building to the architect Zygmunt Gorgolevsky. This architect built many majestic buildings in Poland and Germany in the 19th century. This building has both a beautiful interior and a majestic exterior.
Italian Restaurant Valentino with Rooftop Terrace
"Luxurious. Elegant. Italian" - this is the slogan of the new restaurant of Italian cuisine "Valentino". The restaurant is located in an old house in the heart of the city, next to the Market Square. Earlier, the favorite restaurant of Lviv "Cactus" was located on this place.
Terrace of Valentino restaurant with panoramic views of the center of Lviv
designed for banquets, romantic dinners with a loved one,
business lunches, corporate events, buffets or event celebrations.
The terrace is open daily from 12:00 until 22:00
Italian courtyard
A cozy place in the heart of Leo. Here you can relax from the noisy streets filled with tourists. Back in the 16th century, when the courtyard was built, the owners tried to arrange it so that this corner became a place of rest. Also create a building in the ancient city, similar to the cozy homes of Italians. They succeeded.
Armenian quarter
Lviv became a refuge for Armenians as far back as the 13th century. Expelled from their lands, they were forced to look for a new home. Armenian merchants and artisans were the first to arrive in the city of Lev. They settled compactly, so now all the sights, the appearance of which the city owes to the Armenians, are concentrated on the street Armenian. Probably the most famous of them is the Armenian Cathedral, built in 1370.
Potocki Palace
The beautiful building in the style of classicism was erected in the 19th century. The initiators of the palace were the famous Potocki family. There used to be a small hunting lodge on the site of the Potocki palace. But the family needed an elegant place where they could receive distinguished guests.
Church and monastery of the Bernardines
The church and monastery are a whole complex, which is now an architectural and historical monument. Interestingly, the Bernardine monastery is not just a spiritual building, but also a defensive one. In the 17th century, its construction was undertaken only on condition that it would have strong walls. So for a long time the defensive redoubts of the monastery protected the people of Lviv from enemies. Therefore, shots were fired from this spiritual structure more than once. Of the defensive redoubts, the Glynyansky Gate has survived to this day.
Boim Chapel
The Boim Chapel was built in the 17th century on the site of an old cemetery. It became a tomb for the old Hungarian Boim family. It is not known exactly who constructed this truly work of art. However, experts equate the Lviv chapel with the tomb in the Wawel Cracow. There are no more analogues of the Boim chapel in Europe.
High Castle Mountain
To be in Lviv and not to visit the High Castle is like not seeing Khreshchatyk in Kyiv even for a moment. This is the highest point of the city of Leo. The height of the mountain is 413 meters. Once upon a time there was a castle on it. The construction of the mountain began in the 13th century. When the castle was built and it became clearly visible from the surrounding areas, the mountain began to be called Castle, or "High Castle".
Pharmacy-museum "Under the black eagle"
If in the last few years a lot of new tourist highlights have appeared in Lviv, the Pharmacy-Museum has been known for a long time. For centuries, this institution has maintained its reputation. For years, the pharmacy has been able to combine the medical component with the tourist one. After all, despite the fact that dozens of tourists visit the pharmacy every day, they do not stop selling medicines here. If tourists enthusiastically look at all sorts of cones, herbalists, tablet machines, the people of Lviv come here because of what the doctor prescribed. The pharmacy has been operating in the city since 1735.
Brewing Museum
If you not only like to taste an intoxicating drink, but also want to know how it is made, then you should definitely visit the Brewing Museum. It was installed in 2005 on the territory of Lviv Brewery. Various exhibits were placed on 600 square meters: beer barrels, bottles, mugs, tools with which beer was made. Also, old beer recipes are still preserved in old books.
Kryivka Kneipp Restaurant
This institution differs from others not only in Lviv, but throughout Ukraine. The owners of "Kryivka" decided on a difficult experiment. The restaurant with the attributes of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army immediately became famous, but there was a lot of criticism. After all, if in Western Ukraine honoring UPA soldiers is a common thing, in other regions it is treated with caution.
Lviv Chocolate Workshop
Chocolate has also become a kind of symbol for the city of Leo. Numerous chocolate festivals gather thousands of tourists in Lviv every year. What to do if the sweet holiday is still far away? Of course, visit the Lviv Chocolate Workshop. Chocolate white, milk, black, with nuts and marzipan, other tasty fillings. Chocolate bars and melted, chocolate desserts, cakes. In short, delicious! Delicacies should be tasted with Lviv coffee, another symbol of Lviv.
Monument to the chimney sweep
This monument is located quite high. From the roof of the cafe "House of Legends" on Staroyevreiska Street, a chimney sweep is watching life in Lviv. If you plan to look at this monument, you should have a lot of small coins in your wallet. Why? The soot hat has a bottom, but is connected to a gutter. Tourists and visitors of the institution throw coins there. When they ring, they fall into a chest, and sometimes onto a summer terrace.
