About the Katowice – Kyiv route
The Katowice to Kyiv coach links the heart of Poland's Silesian region directly with Ukraine's capital, with no transfers along the way. Covering roughly 1,060 km, the journey takes 18–22 hours, and the exact duration hinges on the wait at the Ukrainian–Polish frontier, usually crossed at the Krakovets–Korczowa checkpoint. Fares start at about 2,550 UAH, payable by bank card online in hryvnia — the full amount is charged upfront, so there is nothing to settle with the driver en route. A biometric international passport is required to cross the border. The route mainly serves Ukrainians working abroad, students at Polish universities, and families heading home or travelling west. Boarding is at the Katowice bus station, with drop-off at stops across Kyiv.
