See Ukraine By Train

If you are looking for a rather interesting way to see Ukraine and everything the country’s beautiful scenery has to offer, then look no further than the train station in the city you arrived in.  The country has a very extensive railway network and travelling from destination to destination this way is comfortable, safe, and inexpensive travel option.  The railways are also linked to neighboring countries, giving you an extended touring opportunity and because the rails go through many of the smaller towns and villages in Ukraine, you have the unique chance to experience the hospitality of these rural areas.

Each train station should have available all of the timetables for the trains and where they travel to.  The country offers express and fast trains with routes that allow you to travel at night if you wish and have very few stopovers.  But don’t trade convenience and quickness for what you could be missing out on by taking on of the passenger or suburban trains.  If you happen to travel into Ukraine during the winter, you will find that the trains will continue running in inclement weather even after the airlines have stopped.

When you travel on a train in Ukraine there are different levels of accommodations if you need them and you can pay the attendant for them once you have departed the station.  There is a small fee for tea and coffee but you are welcome to bring your own as hot water is provided via a boiler in the car corridor.  When travelling long distance you can use the restaurant car if there is one or bring a picnic lunch.  In Ukraine, you are expected to share your lunch with others in the compartment, but they in turn will share with you, allowing everyone the chance to try something new and different and experiencing the hospitality of Ukrainian culture at its best.
