About the Varna – Lviv route
The Varna to Lviv coach is mostly a journey home: students heading back after summer, seasonal resort workers wrapping up the season on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, and travellers returning from a holiday by the sea. The route covers roughly 1,250 kilometres and takes between 23 and 27 hours, so much of it unfolds overnight as the bus crosses the Bulgarian–Romanian border and then on into Ukraine. You normally board near Varna's central bus station and step off in Lviv at a city bus terminal or a convenient stop close to the centre. Your ticket is paid for online by card in hryvnia, the full amount at once, which means there is nothing to settle with the driver — everything is confirmed before departure.
