Buying Train Tickets on-line

by orest.zub

Recently Ukrzaliznytsya (Ukraine Givermental Railway Authority) introduce new system of buying train tickets on-line.Unfortunately the system is designed only in Ukrainian or Russian the the whole process of buying tickets is pretty complicated even for locals.However you can find step by step guidelines in English how to buy train tickets directly and avoid commissions here: http://www.ukraine-travel-secrets.com/ukraine-train-ticket.htmlDon't forget that even after paying you still have to collect your ticket in one of ticket offices in Ukraine.All the best :-)

Ukrainian License Plates

by hunterV

You can see these old license plates everywhere in the country. Although there are new license plates now (see below), the old and the new ones coexist together.13 means a region of Ukraine. The biggest number of the region was 28, Luhansk region being 13, Crimea being 01, Kiev being 10 and 11, Odessa - 16, etc.This is the table of old Ukrainian license plates just in case:01 KP,KO, KT = Republic of Crimea02 BI, BT, BX = Vinnitsa region03 BO, BK, BM = Volyn region04 AA,AB,AE,AK,AH = Dnipropetrovsk region05 EA, EB, EE, EK, EH, EO, EC = Donetsk region06 BA, BB = Zhytomyr region07 PE = Transcarpathian region08 HA, HE, HO, HP, HC = Zaporizhia region 09 IB, IC = Ivano-Frankivsk region 10 KK, KX, KM = Kiev region 11 KA, KI, KB, KH, KE = City of Kiev 12 OM, OH, OC = Kirovohrad region 13 AM, AO, AP, AT, AX = Luhansk region14 TA, TB, TH, TC = Lviv region15 HI, HK, HT = Mykolayiv region 16 OA, OB,...

The best way around Ukraine

by Lensa

Ukraine has a very good railway system. It is probably the best way to get around the country. Cheap and comfortable.The cheapest compartment is "General"-"Obshchiy vagon". Not recommended. Just sitting places, a lot of people, in winter it could be cold there.Next is so called "Platskart". Not bad for money. Major of local people travel in platskart carriage. You'll get a bed to sleep, but no doors in your compartment. So it'll be like a big hostel room. Only 2 bathrooms for about 56 people. Some of my foreign friends were brave enough to go in platskart, just out of curiosity, and found it not so scary as some ukrainians can describe it for you. (of course it's better to travel not alone :-))Third is "Koopey". More comfortable carriage. You will get only 4 people in your compartment, beds are softer than in "platskart". A little more expensive than the "platskart" and it's worth the...

The Best Way to Travel

by hunterV

The best way to travel to Ukraine is to arrive to Boryspil International Airport in Kiev.If your place of destination is in other regions of Ukraine, you can take a direct flight there from Terminal A at "Boryspil" International Airport.If you choose to travel by car (using the car rentals - $100 a day, by the way!),you will have to be very careful about the traffic regulations, you will hardly find any road signs in English and you will have to study some Ukrainian to get around and, what's more, you will have to overcome all the charms of our Spartan roads containing lots of decent portholes.You may hire a taxi from ranks at any bus stop throughout the city or a town in Ukraine. The taxi fare about the city is $5 (around the city) depending on the city and distance. If you wish to make a longer journey, say, out of the city area, it's a good idea to arrange fare calculations with the...

Obtaining a Visa to Ukraine

by budapest8

***NEWS: Citizens of the following countries can now visit Ukraine without a visa for periods of up to 90 days over a 180 day period with a valid passport:USA, Canada, Japan, EU nations, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Vatican, Iceland, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Mongolia, Lithuania and the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (except Turkmenistan). Citizens of these countries can stay in Ukraine for up to 90 days within any 180 day period without a visa. For longer stays a visa will be required. Until recently there was no 180 day stipulation, which meant that foreigners could simply cross the Ukrainian border every 3 months and avoid getting a visa. Now, as of July 11, 2007 this is no longer possible . If you intend to stay in Ukraine for more than 3 months, you will have to get a visa. Entry Requirements to Ukraine for U.S. Citizens(from the site of the U.S....

Where Is the Vehicle From?

by hunterV

Starting with April 1, 2004 new Ukrainian cars should only receive new license plates representing a stripe with Ukrainian colors and inscription UA on the left, two letters that stand for the region, four digits and two more letters showing the ordinal series.The initial two letters were taken one by one from the alphabet and represent the following regions:II 1234 AB: the initial II means state number, it does not refer to any region and is only given to different state bodies (and, as an exception, to some very respectable V.I.Ps);whereas such license plates as BB 0707 MI clearly indicate that the vehicle is from the militia, although of late the militia has given up that habit and now anybody can get the MI license plate; such license plates as BB 0211 XX indicate by the final XX that the vehicle is a cargo trailer (by the way, XX is pronounced in Russian and Ukrainian as "ha-ha"):...

one way ticket to Ukraine

by swampwiz

Yes, you will get hassled trying to arrive in Ukraine on a one way ticket without some type of work or residency visa. I had been attempting to a similar thing - arriving via a one way ticket. (I will be teaching English - getting the proper work visa wherever - so I don't know when I would be returning.) Basically you need to have a round trip ticket that has dates within what your ticket states.I will be arriving in Warsaw instead, as Poland has no problem (I spoke to an honorary consulate in the USA who told me I will have no problem.)

Odessa transportation

by abeille1

hi Rouzbeh, do not do it. it's complicated to explain, but in Ukraine, the traffic rules are very strict, and it's not possible to drive without breaking them. Locals know what to avoid, when to break and when - not, and you won't. Plus, you are a foreigner. You will be stopped on every corner. In Ukraine traffic police are allowed to collect fees in cash, and you will end paying to everybody. Hire yourself a car with the driver to get to/from the airport, and for the rest of your time - simply stand near the road, and wave your hand, whoever stops, tell them where you go, and they will drive you there for a little fee. At the end, it will come cheaper than any rental.

New Lviv-Krakow-Wroclaw train

by atkachen

Starting 31 May 2009, Ukrainian and Polish railways introduce a new overnight train Lviv-Krakow-Wroclaw (35/36). It is remarkable in several ways.1) it uses a technology that allows it to operate both on Ukrainian and Western tracks - so there is no need of changing wheels ( which would normally take about 2 hours). 2) it conveniently connects to express trains Kyiv- Lviv , and Krakow-Prague/Vienne. 3) it provides a convenient connection between Ukraine and Katowice airport which is a base for low cost carriers such as Ryan Air and Wizz Air.The cost of Lviv-Krakow ticket is about 30 euro. The tickets for the connecting express trains can be bought online from Ukrainian Railways ( Kyiv-Lviv section, about 10 euro) and from Czech Railways ( Krakow - Prague segment, starts at 30 euro).Below is the approximate timetable for the overall connection Kiev (dep. 17:00) -> Lviv(dep. 00:00)...

trains

by nhoolb

For all those (like me) planning train-travel in/to/from Ukraine this will help:Schedules, in english (as mentioned by others also):http://www.poezda.netschedules in russian/ukranian:http://www.railwayukr.com/index.php?cont=ticketsz.htm&ln=rufares:http://www.railwayukr.com/index.php?cont=ticketsp.htm&ln=ruFor those last 2 sites you must be able to read some cyrilic. (Dictionary! learn the alphabet, compare it with greek letters-science class remember?)Another one-but not always correct (fares) is:http://www.trainsrussia.com/en/travels/As mentioned by others: SV (1st class) is 2-bed compartment, Kupe (2nd class) is 4 bed compartment, Platzkart not recommended, not worth the saving.You may consider to buy all 4 beds in Kupe (or all 2 beds in SV).There are also Express trains running between many cities, for instance Kiev-Dnepropetrovsk (and vv) 2 x a day, leaving around 07.00 am arriving...
