About the Milan – Lviv route
The Milan to Lviv coach covers roughly 1,550 kilometres in about 25–29 hours, and for most travellers it is the journey home: seasonal workers heading back after a stint in Lombardy, students returning for the holidays, and families going to visit relatives in Ukraine. Departures are usually from the Lampugnano area near the metro station, followed by an overnight run across northern Italy, through Austria or Slovakia, and over the Polish–Ukrainian border, where passport control can add a few hours. In Lviv passengers are dropped near the Dvirtseva bus station beside the main railway terminal, handy for onward trains. Because the route is not priced in hryvnia, online card payment is unavailable — you pay the fare in cash directly to the driver when boarding. Bring a valid international passport.
