The most comfortable and the fastest way to get Kiev is airplane, of course. There is an internationa airport in Borispol', the little town near of Kiev. By car it's 20 minutes to get the city. For Kiev-Moscow there are several aircrafts including Aeroflot, Aerosvit and S7. Last time for Moscow-Kiev-Moscow by S7 I paid RUR 6550 (EUR 188) around. Although it was a special offer. As far as I know that usual price is RUR 8000 around (EUR 230) Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 | |  |  | Buying train tickets | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
The people at the train station are not the friendliest if you do not speak Ukrainian/Russian. When buying tickets it is best to write down (preferably in cryllic script if you can) the departure station, date and time, then arrival station and date and time. Also the class you require (kupe is a berth of 4). Hand this paper over to the lady. Double check the ticket when you recieve it, it will be laid out in a format similar to below: Train number, departure day and month, time, wagon number and class (k=kupe), [other stuff we didn't work out] departure station - arrival station bed number, an even number means top bunk, odd means bottom bunk. [other stuff we didn't work out] Your name according to passport the cost, the first number being the final cost you pay the arrival day, month and time. [other stuff we didn't work out] If the ticket is wrong, they will cancel it and refund you, minus 2 gryvna (20p) admin charge. When you get on the train, unlike Russian trains, you need to buy your sheets (well, hire) so this is the first thing the conductor will ask you for, so keep some loose change (about 8 gryvna) for this.

The phrase "taxi" is a little misleading. In Kiev, almost any car will stop for you if you put your arm out. There are no meters: justagree on a price with your driver. In general, if you are paying more than 20 Hr for a ride anywhere within the city, you r probably a tourist. Start with a low price and work from there. In Ukraine, you hail cars by sticking your arm out horizontally, then telling the driver the destination before discussing a price. If where you want to go isnt on his way, he may drive off without another word. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The jewel of thetransport system, the metro is both cheap and efficient. While traffic snarls vehicles above ground, underground trains deliver passengers in a more timely and reliable fashion. And thought-provoking Soviet designs inside stations help pass the time away waiting for the next train. One ride costs 50 kopecks, for which you receive a green plastic token to insert into a machine. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro
