How to Get to Kyiv
The most comfortable way to cross the border is by train:
1) You can reach the Przemyśl railway station in Poland and from there take a train to Kyiv or from Warsaw to Kyiv.
2) You can buy a train ticket from Przemyśl or Warsaw using the Ukrzaliznytsia app or in their website!
3) Additionally, you have the option to take a direct bus from major cities in Poland or numerous cities in Europe.
However, please note that you might need to wait at the border with Ukraine for some time (up to 4 hours).
What Awaits You in Kyiv
• Curfew: From 0:00 to 5:00 in most regions of Ukraine, a curfew is in place, during which you are not allowed to go outside unless you have a train ticket for that hour.
• Air Raid Alerts: During air raid alerts, you must seek shelter (indicated by a street siren). An website is available to visualize the current air raid situation for your convenience.
• Transport: Public transport operates from 6:00 to 22:30. Cash is needed for travel (8-15 hryvnias for buses, 10+ hryvnias for electric transport).
• Taxi Services: Bolt, Uber and Uklon offer taxi services in Kyiv. Download these apps to book a taxi.
• Shopping: Most stores close by 22:00. We recommend visiting ATB and Silpo grocery stores.
• Bars: Many bars in the city center stay open until 23:00.
While attending the competition, you'll experience an incredible atmosphere, gain insight into life in a country at war, and have the opportunity to explore the local cuisine.
