About the Vilnius – Kyiv route
The Vilnius – Kyiv bus is the return leg from the Lithuanian capital to Ukraine. Boarding is at the coach station at 22 Sodų Street; the route then heads south-east to the border and on through western and central Ukraine to Kyiv, arriving at the Kyiv coach station by the Central railway station, connected to Vokzalna metro. Some services involve a transfer — most often in Kaunas or Rivne. The corridor carries returning students and labour migrants, plus travellers who flew into Vilnius on a low-cost airline and continue by coach. Tickets are sold as a reservation: reserve online, pay the driver at boarding.
