I must say that the pre-New Year's fair in Lviv traditionally usually starts on December 10, and ends on January 14 - that is, it is the longest in Europe. On working days, the fair is open from 12.00 to 22.00, and on weekends from 11.00 to 23.00

The choice of goods for the New Year's fair is common: Christmas toys, souvenirs, handicrafts, sweets, coffee, mulled wine . But these goods create a festive mood, and hot coffee and mulled wine make it possible not to freeze during the New Year's shopping .
