The western city, which is situated around 70kms away from the Polish border, is the home town of one of the Ely club members; it was their idea to pay a visit to Ukraine.
Members enjoyed five days in the city and toured the historical buildings and attending an opera house for a live performance before meeting the Lviv-Ratusha Rotary Club.
A spokesman said: The Rotary club of Lviv Ratusha were extremely hospitable and arranged a busy schedule for us.

“They arranged an official dinner where there were presentations from both clubs and a visit to a local school for blind children with a view to sharing a project to provide them with special Braille printing equipment.”
One of the Ukraine club members was an English teacher at the local university; her students gave presentations on Ukrainian history and culture.
Club members were also able to visit the Carpathian Mountains and a factory run by one of the Lviv Rotary members.
