About the Lviv – Amsterdam route
The Lviv – Amsterdam bus is one of the longest routes from Lviv into the heart of the Netherlands. It runs through Poland and Germany and takes roughly a full day, so tickets are usually booked by people travelling for the long haul: for work, study, or to visit the large Ukrainian community in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague. Because of the distance and several border crossings, the fare is noticeably higher than on nearer European routes. Online payment is not available for this direction — you reserve your seat in advance and pay the driver directly when boarding in Lviv.
