Consequently, timely connections to ground transportation services are essential for a safe and secure passage to be assured.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Also for your safety we cannot recommend doing so unless travel to Ukraine is an absolute necessity such as for a family or personal emergency; a business or governmental conference; or for media coverage of cultural, social or newsworthy events.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Having said that, prospective travelers are free to book transport to Ukraine via car, bus or train from <a href=\"https:\/\/visitukraine.today\/\">nearby countries<\/a> such as Poland,\u00a0Slovakia, Romania\u00a0and\u00a0Hungary for which we at <strong>DianaTours-Western Ukraine<\/strong> can offer assistance as part of our tour and <a href=\"https:\/\/dianatours-westernukraine.com\/galicia\/tours\/airport-and-railway-transportation\/\">transportation services<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The most popular route to either Lviv and Kyiv is to take the train from <strong>Krakow\u00a0<\/strong>Poland. Although train departure times can vary, a typical trip begins midday for a ride from Krakow to <strong>Przemysi Glowny<\/strong> (station) lasting approximately 3 hours, then involves changing trains for either Lviv [5 hours] or Kyiv leg [15 hours] for the final leg of the journey.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously this involves going through Ukrainian customs and immigration, which travelers would typically go through at the airports anyway, and with the number of volunteer aid workers available the process is relatively hassle-free.<\/p>\n<p>For rail connections from Warsaw\/Wroclaw\/Krakow to both Lviv and Kyiv, checkout either the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rail.cc\/train\/krakow-to-kiev\">Rail.cc page<\/a><\/strong> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uz.gov.ua\/en\/\">Ukrzaliznytsia<\/a> (Ukrainian Railways) for scheduling and prices.<\/p>\n<p><b>Below are some possible train connections to help you plan your trip:<\/b><\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<p><b>Connection<\/b><\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<p><b>Duration<\/b><\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<p><b>Price\u00a0 <\/b><b><br \/><\/b><b>(prices may change over time)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warsaw &#8211;
