    I am heading to Ukraine in the spring, war or no war. I have scheduled time to volunteer with a group the is rebuilding houses in Kharkiv and Kherson Oblasts. So I am not just going as a tourist. From the US traveling to Warsaw by plane, then by train into Ukraine, is the easiest and cheapest route. Booking 5-7months out saves a lot of money on the plane tickets. My flights dropped from around 2k USD to travel in the next 3 months to 750 USD when I booked 7 months out. Personal Advice: Dont rush, enjoy your trip. No matter how much you are able to take in there is always something else you will learn about that you will want to see. So just plan on taking another trip to Ukraine, you will end up wanting to visit again anyway.

      There are several bus lines operating from Warsaw into Ukraine.
      In May 2023, I rode a FlixBus from Warsaw to Lviv, then went by train.
      Crossing the border took less than an hour and a bus is quieter, has wifi, and is more comfortable than a train ride.

    Ukraine still uses Soviet railroad gauge, so for a train to cross the border into Poland every truck under every wagon must be changed.
    It would be better if Ukraine would upgrade certain lines to standard gauge to inter-operate with Europe.
    It would also mean that russian trains could not operate in Ukraine.
    When rebuilding, new railroads should be in the standard gauge further distancing Ukraine from Soviet legacies and better integrating it into Europe.

    Advising your bank you're going to Ukraine is good advice! Many people use Google Pay so set that up. Cards are mostly tap, but chip works too. Crossing the border was far less dramatic that I anticipated. Passport check by friendly soldiers, 1/2 hour later the train was on its way. I was somewhat disappointed they didn't ask for my invitation (from the hospital where I would be volunteering), which I heard was required. I thing having a passport from the US smoothed the way in alot of situations.
    Uber is very cheap and you can pay cash. And that's good because Uber was the one app that wouldn't play nice with my American credit/debit card.
    Except for humanitarian/medical missions we performed to Donbass, I felt very safe. This was especially true on the street in the cities of Kiev and Lviv. No sketchiness at all. People aren't messing around these days, and there's a midnight curfew. It sounds strange for people to hear, "except for the air raids, it's very safe" but it's true.
    Kiev is just beautiful! The market and pathways Taya shows us are really beautiful and full of lovely Ukrainian people out enjoying the summer. I fell in love with the place and will be back in spring on another humanitarian mission.

    I have been to ukraine twice during the war. Both times, I arrived in Romania and made my way. The first time, I had no plan, took a train to the border, hitchhiked across the border to Moldova and then Reni, and I eventually made it to Odessa. The second time, I took a bus from Bucharest, it crossed at the Orlivka Ferry, which was a much better option. It is a long journey, but worth it if you have family or loved ones there.

    Decency...a long-forgotten value here in the West... that would be a valid reason for a Westerner to experience in Ukraine... for younger visitors just a chance to experience a different culture under stress and how they cope with it, would be a valuable lesson, even for adrenaline junkies who just look for the ''experience'' [I've been there too] Ukraine has a lot to offer to anybody...
    and for you Taya... don't let the air raids scare you... Viking in old Norse means ''raider'' [ and Rus, means rower ] so, think of the ancestors... only instead of rivers they come flying... the thought of Rurik and his Kyivan rowers [rus] will give you strength...
    SLAVA UKRAINI...!

    I’m a U.S. citizen and have spent most of 2023 in Ukraine. My preferred route is to fly through Istanbul and then to Chișinău, Moldova. From there I take a taxi to Odessa. I’ve crossed the border four times and each time the wait was about 30-45 minutes and Taya is correct in that I didn’t experience any problems. Most of my business is in Odessa but I took multiple trips to Nikolaev, Kiev and Dnipro.
    As to whether or not it’s safe…I guess it’s “safe” until a missile happens to hit your building. One night at 03:00 a missile hit about 400 m from my apartment. One person died and for a couple hundred meters around the point of impact all the apartments had their windows blown out and power was interrupted for several days. Whether or not you consider that safe is a matter of personal risk assessment.
    Most nights we have air raid sirens and from my apartment I can see the air defense systems shooting at drones. Other than that, though, life is weirdly normal and it’s actually a nice time to be in Ukraine.

    Taya, I'm Italian and, as you said in your video, I had no problems at all to come in Ukraine - on July 13th - and not even to come back - on July 25th. As italian I was visa free - up to three months stay, if I well remember - and I was a bit worried about the need of a COVID assurance, so I subscribed it. But it was not needed. Very little problem, anyway, coz I paid my assurance just 10€.
    The major issue has been at border control, from Polish officers and from Ukrainians too, so the transfer by bus from Krakow to Lviv - maybe something like 300 km - did last about 8 hours at Krakovets passage on a Flixbus - we did not need to go out from bus, but just a passport check -, while it was way longer during the return trip, at Shehyni passage, by Autolux bus - where we did need to go out of bus and to keep all our baggages -, and it was more than 12 hours long. About any other thing, i can just say that i felt way unsafe in Rabat in Morocco or in Egypt than i felt in Lviv, in Kyiv or in Chernihiv, car transfers inside Ukraine included. I loved this trip and i will be back as soon as possible to visit other cities. 🥰
    P.S. Little update about money: i did change just 100€ in grivnas and i used them mostly for tips. My card was accepted almost everywhere, even in the little kiosks to buy a coffee or a fresh drink. Maybe it could be a bit different in the countryside.

    Dear Taya, this is a very cool video. We all knew war is dangerous, but I hope tourists are not afraid of it. If they follow our advice they are quid safe (there is no 100% safety not in Ukraine but also not on any other place on the whole world.). I hope many people will come and visit Ukraine, because the people in Ukraine need some kind of normal /peace time life, the normal people/ the economy of Ukraine needs the money who tourists spend (for Restaurants, Hotels, Museums, souvenirs and so on.) Also, I believe people travel to Ukraine, or any other country, people will connect to the people of this country on a personal level.. And if you have friends in another nation, you can not be affected that easy by propaganda against this other nation., because you knew the normal people are friendly and have the same fears, goals and dreams.

    When you come by car you might need an insurance for Ukraine. Otherwise it's very uncomplicated and just takes a lot of time if you come with one.

    I would add that curfew from 12pm to 5am in most regions, so it's forbidden to be out during this time, unless you need to move to shalter, or back. There are many hotels with shelters. And it's forbidden to take photos of military objects, or some other crutial infrastructure objects. Welcome to Ukraine!
