EINE TOUR WÄHLEN

Many tourists want to visit another country, observe a different culture, traditions, and customs. However, not everyone wants to buy a large-scale tour for a week, and often they do not have the opportunity to do so. Residents of Polish border towns can travel to the cultural capital of Western Ukraine on any weekend - by train, bus or car - and enjoy the beauty and attractions of Lviv. Read this article to find out how easy it is to get from Poland to Ukraine and back, what pitfalls you can expect, what places you should definitely visit, where to stay and enjoy local traditions.

What is the fastest way to get from Krakow to Lviv?


Ukraine and Poland share a common border and, accordingly, a significant number of checkpoints. This leads to a large traffic flow and long queues. You can enter Ukraine in a few hours, but it can take up to a day to leave. This should be taken into account when planning your route and holiday.

How do I get from Krakow to Lviv by train?


At the moment, the airspace of Ukraine is closed for air travel, so the only way to get to Lviv from Krakow is by land. At the moment, the railway connection between the neighbouring countries is well developed. You can get to Lviv by the following trains: Warsaw-Kyiv, Chełm-Kyiv, Przemyśl-Kyiv, Przemyśl-Zaporizhzhia, Przemyśl-Odesa, Chełm-Harkiv, Przemyśl-Harkiv.




Currently, Ukraine faces a number of risks associated with the introduction of martial law. To cover them, it is worth taking out insurance. Of course, Lviv is one of the safest regions of our country, but insurance with martial law risks in mind will still be appropriate.




What is the best bus route to get from Krakow to Lviv?


Bus service between the two countries is also convenient. It is usually used by Ukrainians to travel to Poland. Buses run regularly, but not all of them operate daily. The most popular routes are: Warsaw - Kyiv, Warsaw - Odesa, Warsaw - Lviv, Katowice - Kyiv, Krakow - Kyiv. For more information and to book tickets, we recommend contacting Visit Ukraine (Telegram | WhatsApp. They can also help you book train tickets and advise on other transfer issues.


Train and bus schedules from Poland to Ukraine can be found here. Here you can also find all the necessary details about the transfer from Poland to Ukraine.

It is worth noting that trains and buses run in both directions. We recommend booking tickets for both directions at once and taking into account the distance and complexity of the road and possible transport risks. Carrier companies always offer travel insurance, which is calculated as a percentage of the ticket price.

How do I get from Krakow to Lviv by car?


If you want to travel to Ukraine by your own car, you need to know the list of checkpoints where you can cross the border. Currently, these are Yagodyn - Dorohusk, Ustyla - Zosin, Krakivets - Korchova, Shehyni - Medyka, Rava-Ruska - Hrebenne, Smilnytsia - Krotsenko, Hrushev - Budomezh, Uhryniv - Dolobychuv.

Where should foreign tourists visit in Lviv?


Bandinelli Palace


The exquisite palace is located in the very centre of the city, and according to documents, it is currently a department of the Lviv Historical Museum. It was here that the first post office of the classical European model was founded in 1629. At that time, the owner of the building was a Florentine merchant, Roberto Bandinelli, who received Lviv citizenship. The building is now named after him. The palace is made in the Gothic style with elements of classicism and baroque, and experts call it a monument of the late Renaissance. Therefore, art lovers should definitely see the monument with their own eyes.


Anyone interested in the theme of palaces can book a suitable tour to travel around the entire Lviv region. In one day, you will be able to see five palaces that will amaze your imagination.


High Castle


Lviv residents often recommend visiting the High Castle Park, located on Castle Hill. The park is not a natural monument, but a human creation - it was planned by the city's chief gardener Bauer in 1835. Today, the park is recognised as a national treasure and is included in the nature reserve fund of Ukraine. The High Castle is the highest point in the city above sea level - 413 m. (Visit the castle in the late afternoon when the city lights come on).

Don't be afraid of heights: the ascent to the park is long, but not steep; everyone can visit the High Castle!

The influx of tourists is unimaginable: there are both children and adults here. The factory offers a unique element of the tour route - you can paint a gingerbread man for yourself, your relatives or friends.

Where can foreigners stay in Lviv?


When booking a hotel, keep in mind that tourists without a car will only be able to get to their destination by minibus, trolleybus or taxi. There is no metro in Lviv. Taxis are several times more expensive than in other Ukrainian cities. Therefore, we recommend that you look for a hotel in the centre of the old town, as the most interesting things are right there. Of course, this is an additional expense, but this choice will save you a lot of time to enjoy your holiday in Lviv.

The best places to stay in Lviv are listed in this article. You can see the advantages and disadvantages, find places to stay and choose the most convenient option for you.
