About the Lviv – Przemysl route
The Lviv – Przemysl bus covers roughly 95 km through the Shehyni–Medyka border crossing, one of the busiest yet most popular short cross-border runs on the Ukrainian-Polish frontier. The trip usually takes 2–4 hours, depending on the queue at the border. Przemysl is the first railway station inside Poland, so most travellers come here to connect onward by train deeper into the EU — Krakow, Warsaw, Wroclaw, Berlin. The route serves migrant workers, students, families and transit passengers heading further into Europe. Tickets are sold online with card payment in hryvnia, so you can reserve your seat in advance. Check the current schedule, prices and available seats in search — buses run daily, from morning to evening.
