Train Warsaw to Lviv, Poland to Ukraine by Train

I took this train on the first time I traveled to Ukraine. I left Warsaw in Poland in the early morning at 7:15 am and arrived Lviv in Ukraine a little before midnight the same day. The price of the ticket was 127.27 ZLOTY = EUR 28.60 = 40.3 USD. I bought the ticket the day before only to have no surprises and not to waste time to buy it in the departure morning.

I took the morning train called “Odessa Express” which connects the capital of Poland Warsaw to the Black Sea coastal city, Odessa in Ukraine. It is a unique bed rail, I mean, no seating, only rooms with double beds, with sheets, blankets, table, rug etc. Odessa Express sign at the train from Warsaw to Odessa passing Lviv in southwest Ukraine

It is very simple, and taking a train Poland to Ukraine is super easy task to do. This is a direct way to travel from Warsaw and for those who do not want to bother much with transport to Lviv. The border is very easy also, so passport formalities with both Polish and then Ukrainian authorities are quite simple.

The train stops for about 4 hours in the Polish city of Przemysl, so you can go out and enjoy this nice city for a couple of hours. Take your passport with you as police may ask for it. Watch out for crossing the train lines as police will fine you at place. I got away with it speaking Portuguese as they spoke some English and pointed the English warning signs.
