Polatsk Getting there & around

Getting there & away

The modern-looking building next to (east of) the older train station sells long-distance train tickets, while tickets for the five daily electric trains connecting Polatsk and Vi- tsebsk (BR8000, two hours) are sold inside the train station itself. Most long-distance routes are served by through-trains.

Two trains a day run to Minsk (BR18, 000, six to eight hours), and one train daily goes to Moscow (BR62, 000, 13 hours) via Smolensk (BR40, 000, five hours).

The bus station is 100m east of the train station, with two or three daily buses to Minsk (BR20, 000, five hours) and Vitsebsk (BR8000, two hours), and one daily to Homel (BR32, 000, 12 hours). Left-luggage lockers are available.
