About the Kyiv – Bucharest route

The Kyiv to Bucharest coach covers roughly 960 kilometres and usually takes between 15 and 19 hours, with the final figure shaped by waiting times at the Porubne — Siret crossing on the Ukrainian-Romanian frontier.

A valid biometric international passport is essential for the border. The route is popular with migrant workers, students enrolled at Romanian universities, families travelling together and tourists. Boarding takes place at central Kyiv bus terminals, with drop-off in the heart of Bucharest.
