Travelling by train in Ukraine
Travelling by train is a comfortable, enjoyable, safe and affordable way of travel. Train network covers all the main cities and most towns throughout the country as well as connects Ukraine with many other destinations in Europe and Asia (Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Baltic States, Poland, Germany, Hungary, Check Republic, Austria and others).
Most trains in Ukraine offer 3 types of compartments:
1st class or soft class compartment with two berths. In 80% of trains both berths are located opposite to each other and serve both for sitting and sleeping purposes. Some trains, international ones in particular, have two berths located one above another.
Some 1st class compartments offer a water sink and/or TV, however these facilities are subject to confirmation upon purchase of the ticket. Central climate control system is in place throughout the 1st class carriages.
2nd class compartment ("coupee") with 4 berths - 2 lower and 2 upper ones
3rd class compartments (platzcard) are not recommended for foreign travellers
