Lviv Travel Forum

Hi there! :)

Can anyone, please, advise me a cheap and safe way of traveling from Lviv to Kiev?
I would like to take an overnight journey. I read about Ukrainian trains (being the cheapest way of traveling), but I'm going on my own, so do you think is's a good idea to take a platzkart? Or maybe I should take a coupe car? Or maybe the best way for me would be to take a coach? But here I don't have any information. What's the price difference between platzkart, coupe and a coach? Is there only one coach company or are there plenty of them (if so, which one do you recommand?). Where on the Internet can I find a timetable?
I would appreciate any help :)

Best regards! :)

Best (and surely safe) is train (especially overnight). Coupe will cost you about 70uah (+7uah for bed-linen) - exchg rate is $1=5uah.
As most convenient are regarded trains #92 (dep. 22.55 - arr. 7.32) and #98 (19.35-6.15).
Timetable (in Ukr):

Coaches are normally not used by lvivians to go to Kyiv - only couple of them - more expencive - less convenient. Timetible:
