About the Kyiv – Berlin route
The Kyiv–Berlin bus covers roughly 1,300 km in 24–26 hours, running through Poland with a border crossing at Yahodyn–Dorohusk or Krakovets, then past Lublin and Wroclaw to the German capital. It is one of the busiest routes for the Ukrainian community: people travel to Berlin for work, to reunite with relatives who fled the war, and for study. Departures are mostly overnight — you board in Kyiv in the evening and arrive the following day, so little daytime is lost. The schedule connects well with onward German buses and trains. Note: prices are quoted in euros, and only reservation with payment to the driver on boarding is available — online card payment is not offered on this route yet. Book early, as seats on popular overnight departures sell out fast.
