Lviv (Ukrainian: Львів) is a city in western Ukraine, the center of the Lviv Oblast, Lviv District, and Lviv Urban Community, as well as the center of the Lviv metropolitan area. A national, cultural, educational, and scientific center, a major industrial hub, and a major transportation hub, Lviv is often referred to in the press as the capital of Galicia and Western Ukraine.

Lviv was founded by the Galician prince and king of Rus', Danylo Romanovich, in the mid-13th century, and presumably became the capital of the Principality of Galicia-Volhynia around 1256. After the first partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, from 1775 to 1918, the city served as the capital of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, formed by the Habsburgs, who considered themselves the successors of the kings of Rus' and bore the title of Kings of Galicia and Lodomeria. During the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918, it became the capital of the West Ukrainian People's Republic, but following the Polish-Ukrainian War, it was annexed to Poland. In June–July 1941, it served as the de facto seat of the Ukrainian State Administration, established after the proclamation of the Act of Re-Establishment of the Ukrainian State during World War II.

Since 1998, Lviv's Historic Center has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 2009, it was named the Cultural Capital of Ukraine. The city regularly ranks among the top tourist and investment destinations. In 2012, it was one of four Ukrainian cities to host the 2012 European Football Championship. City Day is celebrated on the first Saturday of May.
