Ukraine

We arrive Kiev at 8/3/2012 then plan to take the train#91 to Lviv overnight. we would like to ask what is the best way to get to Krakow from Lviv and how to do it. thank you very much

I have a week in the Ukraine and only want to do two out of Kiev, Lviv and Odessa. Which do I omit?

We've got a rather odd holiday coming up and hopefully I can get some help on it!

Here's the plan. I - UK passport - will cycle from Turkey to Lviv during June and July in the summer. I hope to arrive in Lviv around July 13. So three questions about that:
1. I plan to take a tent and camp. If I can get a card with "I'm clean, camping just one night, gone in the morning, please can I camp in your farmyard" on it in Ukrainian, will I probably have very few problems?

1. I just found out about…

Hi,

Does anybody of some safe/secure/guarded parking lots or garages in Lviv? I don't want to drop my car just anywhere.

Regards,

I am looking for a place to stay in the mountains. We are a group of 5 women. A self-catering cottage is preferable, but a hostel or hotel may also work.

We are hikers...anyone with knowledge of places close to nice trails?

Any recommendations for lodging or hiking would be appreciated.

Did I make a horrible mistake? I've booked a room in Krakow for April 7 & 8 and a room in L'viv for April 9 & 10.
I'm just figuring out that I may be spending one of these nights on the train between these two cities.
Does anyone know if there is a train that runs during the day or is the only option an overnight trip?

Thanks in advance!
I'd love to have time to research this info on my own, but I'm learning that the travelers on Lonely Planet are a goldmine of information.

Hi,

I will be visiting the Ukraine in a couple of months. I have not seen these questions on a forum search forgive me if they have already been answered :).

Currently I not really have an Itenary for my travel in Ukraine. I would like to keep my schedule flexible if I can.

I will enter the country as a tourist (US Passport). I have not planned how long but I know I can stay 90 out of 180 days.

Has anyone on here taken a 1 way flight to Ukraine without purchasing an exit ticket? I would like…

We are a couple looking to transit through Ukraine on June 18-20, 2012. We have recently discovered we are going to get caught up with the euro 2012 traffic. The games are not on our list, we are merely tourists visiting Romania, transiting through Ukraine and visiting Poland. There are a couple of concerns with transport and visas and any assistance would be appreciated. As Australians we need to get a visa, either a tourist visa or transit visa, the latter being all we really require as we…

I have a 1 day stop over in Kiev. How can I make the best of my 1 day?

Is there a bus tour that can pick me up , show me the city and then drop me back in time for my connecting flight?
