The railway says that this is the longest route of Ukrzaliznytsia. 1,806 km – is the same as between Ivano-Frankivsk and Athens, capital of Greece. The train route actually covers the whole country – it passes through Zaporizhia, the major city of Dnipro, Bila Tserkva, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, unites east and west.

We will add that the final stop of the route is located in the most mountainous city of Ukraine. In addition, the railway has organized train stops at stations from which routes to the tourist magnets of Ukraine begin. We are talking about Yaremche, the cultural capital of the Hutsul people, and Tatars, which are closest to Bukovel, Ukraine’s top ski resort, also in Vorokhta, Yasin, Kvasy, and then – in Rakhiv. (From Yaremche, you can easily take a bus or taxi to Bukovel.)

Here you can book train tickets throughout Ukraine. The trains have multiple classes and styles: some still have a Soviet-era feeling while others are modern and sleek. All are clean, and all have first class accommodations with two-bed private compartments. On overnight trains, you can usually buy snacks and drinks from your wagon’s conductor, and there are also café cars serving food you can bring to your seat or room.
