About the Chernivtsi – Krakow route
The Chernivtsi – Krakow bus links the capital of Bukovina with the largest city in southern Poland. The route runs through the Chernivtsi region to a crossing on the Ukrainian-Polish border (usually via the Lviv region and the Krakovets or Shehyni checkpoints), then along the A4 motorway to Krakow. Students at Polish universities, labour migrants and travellers continuing deeper into Europe regularly take this direction. Krakow is also a handy transfer point to Krakow-Balice Airport (KRK), a major low-cost carrier hub. The schedule covers daytime and evening departures, so a convenient time fits any travel plan.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the trip from Chernivtsi to Krakow take?
The trip usually takes around 11–15 hours depending on the run, the route and the queue at the Ukrainian-Polish border. The crossing adds time and is hard to predict, especially on weekends and holidays. Check the exact duration of a specific departure in the schedule within the search form before paying for your ticket.
What documents do I need for the trip?
To cross the border you need a valid biometric international passport. Poland is part of the Schengen area, so Ukrainian citizens may enter visa-free within the permitted stay limit.

Are there overnight departures?
