About the Kyiv – Krakow route

The Kyiv–Krakow bus covers roughly 800 km via Zhytomyr, Rivne and Lviv to the Rava-Ruska / Hrebenne crossing, where you clear entry into Poland.

Krakow is a student and tourist hub with a sizeable Ukrainian community, so passengers travel for studies at Jagiellonian University, for work, to see the Old Town and Wawel, or to connect onward across Western Europe. Check the departure time beforehand, since both daytime and overnight services run.
