About the Burgas – Chernivtsi route
The Burgas to Chernivtsi coach carries travellers back into Ukraine after a holiday or a working season on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast — students from Bukovyna, seasonal workers and families heading home to relatives. The journey covers roughly 950 km and takes 18 to 22 hours, threading through Bulgaria and Romania across several border crossings before reaching the Bukovyna region. Boarding is usually at Burgas's central Yug bus station, with arrival at the Chernivtsi coach terminal a short hop from the city centre. Payment is refreshingly simple: you settle the full fare by card online in hryvnia at the moment of booking, so there is nothing to hand the driver mid-route and no currency to juggle. Your e-ticket for the whole trip lands in your inbox straight away.
