About the Krakow – Lviv route
The Krakow–Lviv bus runs the return direction — from Poland back into Ukraine. This is a homeward route: labour migrants heading to family, students returning for the holidays, and Krakow's Ukrainian diaspora travelling to see relatives in Lviv. The trip from Lesser Poland to Galicia covers roughly 350 km and includes the Polish–Ukrainian border crossing (Krakovets or Shehyni), where timing depends on the queue and customs, so the full journey usually takes 7–9 hours. You book tickets online and immediately see the departure schedule from Krakow's bus station and the estimated arrival time at Stryiska in Lviv. Payment is in hryvnia by card on the website — no cash at the counter. Polish tourists ride too, discovering Lviv's old town for the first time.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the bus from Krakow to Lviv?
Roughly 7–9 hours. The distance is about 350 km, but the Polish–Ukrainian border crossing (Krakovets/Shehyni) adds time depending on the queue and customs check. See the exact schedule for your specific departure when you book.
How do I pay for a Krakow–Lviv ticket?
