Traveling by train in Ukraine is time consuming and not as comfortable as you might like. Cross country train schedules are “timed” so that the journey is an all-nighter allowing you sleep on your journey.

Trains are divided in to 3 classes, 1^st class (2 beds in 1 cabin), coupe (4 beds in a cabin) and 3^rd class (6 beds in an open compartment). If you bring your own toilet paper and plan well, then you can improve the experience. Tips: Bring food and drinks with you. Make sure you don’t travel 3^rd class. Book a lower bed in 2^nd class.

If there are 2 of you and you want to travel 1^st class, then why not book all 4 beds in a 2^nd class wagon. It adds up to half the price and the beds are the same size anyway.

You’ll be woken up a full hour before your destination.

It’s a really bad way to travel in Ukraine with journeys taking as long if not longer than the trains.
