It will be possible to reach the Olympic NSC from the Boryspil Airport for less than one hour by public transport during Euro-2012. High-speed shuttle buses will provide this service. They will run from the airport to Boryspilska metro station every minute. This has been announced by the deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration’s General Directorate for Transport and Communications, Ivan Shpylyovyy, NSC press service reports.

“I urge people to use taxi less. The scheme of transporting people from the Boryspil Airport to Boryspilska metro station is like this: shuttle buses will operate between the airport and Boryspliska metro station; 70 high- and extra-high-capacity buses will run with one-minute interval. Then it will take not more than 20-25 minutes to drive, and then people will go down to Boryspilska metro station. People will not need to hurry to be able to easily reach the stadium from the airport within an hour,” Mr Shpylyovyy noted.

Let us remind you that Boryspil Airport launches Sky Taxi in late 2011.

The host city of Lviv regards the preparation of its hotel infrastructure for Euro-2012 as one of its greatest strengths. The resort city of Truskavets, located 80 km from the city, will also help to take in ordinary fans during the tournament. However, the Lion City will also lease out hotel complexes for the tournament. As noted in an interview with the "Uryadoviy Courier" newspaper by the Director of Lviv City Council for preparations for the championship, Oleh Zasadniy, the city plans to commission six more facilities belonging to hotel infrastructure prior to the start of the tournament.

"The difficult economic conditions of recent years have, fortunately, not influenced the plans of the representatives of the hotel business, though they may have somewhat slowed the pace of construction. On the map of the city beautiful newly built or renovated hotels will appear soon, which will decorate the architectural character of the ancient city. The finishing touches will be put by designers and staff in the newly-built Nobilis hotel, which is located not far from the centre on cosy Fredra Streeet. It is planned to open six more hotels prior to the championship.

Active work is going ahead on completing the construction of the second phase of the five-star hotel Leopolis, whose luxury rooms will accommodate members of the UEFA family.

There is also the Vintage hotel, a very cozy and comfortable four-star hotel for 117 people. The Grand Hotel, which is on Freedom Avenue, will have five-star status after reconstruction. And the city’s oldest hotel, the George, is also being renovated, said Zasadniy.

He added that the existing chain of hotels in the city will be supplemented by luxurious refurbished rooms Chopin, Astoria and Swiss.

The four-star hotel Reikartz, located on Horodotsky Street, hospitably opened its doors not long ago, and currently the second of this network is receiving guests on Drukarska Street.

During Euro-2012 in Kyiv a fan embassy will operate which will become an independent center for Eurofan. The fixed fan embassy will be stationed indoors or in a separate building, which will provide information or help football fans and visitors to the tournament. A fixed service embassy for fans will be available throughout the competition.

Mobile fan embassies, which will focus on work in the streets, will also work during preparations for Euro-2012. Unlike fixed fan embassies to be placed in specific locations in each host city, mobile fans will be accompanied by their location in the city or its boundary (e.g., camping areas).

During match days, mobile groups of fan embassies will offer services and advice in key areas and meet their target groups in the host cities of Euro-2012. Stands, used buses, vans and pickups will be used for this. On match days the services of fan embassies can be supplemented by mobile fan consulates focused on smaller target groups and placed in key locations.
