About the Stuttgart – Kyiv route
Taking the bus from Stuttgart to Kyiv means committing to the better part of two days on the road home — roughly 1750 km and 28–32 hours as the route crosses Germany, Poland and the Polish-Ukrainian frontier. Most travellers on this run are returning after work or study in the Stuttgart area, students heading back for the holidays, or people coming to visit family in Ukraine. Departures are usually from the coach terminal or stops near Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof, with arrival at one of Kyiv's central bus stations within easy reach of the metro. The fare is paid in cash directly to the driver when you board: this route is priced in a non-hryvnia currency, so online card payment is not available here. Bring your international passport and allow extra time at the border.
