Ivano-Frankivsk. The Town Hall Museum and Its Panorama

Ivano-Frankivsk is a regional centre in the west of Ukraine. Its former names – Stanislaviv, Stanislav – are still used by local residents. In 1962, on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of its founding, the city was renamed in honour of an outstanding son of the Ukrainian people, Ivan Franko. The city's main symbol, its calling card, the Ivano-Frankivsk Town Hall, rises in the very heart of the city on the Rynok (Market) Square.

Lviv. The Lovers' Clock, Least Known and Most Romantic

Clocks in cities serve as timekeepers and are an element of décor, tourist magnets. But in Lviv there are such guardians of time that tourists do not know about, and not all locals have heard of this curiosity. The 6-storey «Nobilis» hotel faces onto Oleksandr Fredro and Ihor Bilozir streets. The hotel opened in late 2011, and during Euro 2012 the Portugal national team stayed there. The «Nobilis» apartments are also chosen by the footballers of Donetsk's «Shakhtar» during their stays in Lviv.

 

Watchmaker's Day. Wall, Street and Tower Clocks of Ukraine

Our life is scheduled to the minute, and we constantly check the time by electronic, wrist and street clocks, and when we notice a fault in the clockwork we turn to the masters of time. Not everyone knows that on 3 November watchmakers celebrate their professional holiday together with jewellers, since specialists of these magical crafts are called masters of golden work, or masters with golden hands.
