How to get into Ukraine from Poland | Medyka - Shegyni border
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2023
- The easiest and most convenient way to get into Ukraine from Poland is to reach the town of Przemysl first. Trains are available from any Polish city. The nearest international airports are: Rzeszow, Krakow, Lublin and Warsaw.
Then in Przemysl you can take another direct international train to Lviv and onwards to Kyiv. Or take a small bus (or taxi) to the border village of Medyka (15 min ride) and then cross on foot to Shegyni with onward transportation to Lviv.
Book international trains from Przemysl to Lviv or Kyiv here - booking.uz.gov.ua/en/
Alternatively take the same way as I did in this video.
Good luck and welcome in Ukraine.

We're from Ireland and did the exact same crossing a week ago. Really easy and we had someone waiting on Ukrainian side the drive us to the City. Lviv is stunning and probably the most fun city we have ever been to. We are having an amazing time.
How are the 6 counties ? Is it sorted or you just gave up on them to worry about Ukraine ?
How you booked them?
I'm trying to get in to do a photojournalism assignment for a grassroots magazine. Is there much hassle from border security? I'll have a flak jacket and all, but I won't have official press permission from Ukraine (Hard to get now)
@Tictac-vn1vn Brexit and the issues it created around the border are indicative of where they're headed, not to mention the Sinn Feinn majority in Stormont 🫢 just a waiting game now
Slava Ukraine!! We love Ukraine and its people. I will be teaching in Lviv. My wife and I are arriving soon. Your videos are a great help! Thank you. Dean
I did that exact crossing in April. The bus from Rzeszow to Medyka. And then taxi to the border crossing. The border crossing was easy. Lviv was amazing. Took the czheck train back to Rzsesow from Lviv.
Very good. Someone should have made this guide a long time ago. Also a video which shows how to cross the border on train could be helpful.
Even if airports were opened, I would still want to go to Lviv, via Przemsyl. Would like to visit one day. Last year it was refugees going thru that station and it's good to see Ukrainians coming and going, in both directions. Looking forward to more videos, keep it up brother!
Loved the video Orest. Thank you for the information.
My pleasure 😇 Welcome
HELLO FROM ROMANIAN
I just watched your video with Vishnu who is from India... thank you for your great help ❤ from 🇮🇳
Hi Orest ... m here after watching Vishnu's channel.
Thank u for showing us beautiful Ukraine through Vishnu's lens ... but now m watching all your videos on your channel.
God bless you and praying for this war to end.
You're gonna get lot many subscribers from India now who wants to rely on your info rather than paid news channels who shows us totally different stuffs .
Interesting video! I have to say, though, it's definitely worse to be stuck standing in line at a pedestrian border crossing than to be stuck in a bus at a border. I crossed that Medyka-Shegyni border on foot in the winter from Ukraine to Poland and regretted the day I was born 😅 I was looking at the buses stuck at the border with envy as I stood in the cold FOR 12+ HOURS 😅So when I recently was stuck at another Ukrainian-Polish border for 7+ hours in a bus, I was just grateful to be sitting down somewhere warm where I could eat, sleep, and charge my phone
I just discovered your channel, you do some excellent work, please continue, I am Canadian and I have been inspired to visit Ukraine in a few months and just trying to figure out the best route.
Welcome 🤗
Love from India 🇮🇳❤
Thank you ... stay safe
Thank you for the excellent information, Orest. I hope to be there soon.....
Hi Orest great video very useful information how to cross the border. Good job 👍
Look forward to the next video
Stay safe.
That was a good video showing the crossing on the ground..
Though flying to Poland it seems easier to get the train then to Lviv..
Hello brother.. I just know you through @wondering maniac RUclips channel... I just want to say that you are amazing the way you treat him it's great. And as a human being you are so humble and Kind .... Lot's of Love and strength from India. ❤️❤️ 🇮🇳
Love from INDIA 🇮🇳❤️
From Wandering Maniac to your vlogs👍
thank you 😊
Thanks brother
Welcome, brother 🤝
Nice and well-informed vlog. Hopefully, I will visit Ukraine soon.
I crossed the border at the same place 6 years ago. 5.5 hours waitingtime.
завжди цікавило як воно там працює

After seeing wandering mannic video I came here love you bro from India
Thank you my friend. I will be heading to Kharkiv in a few months for “vacation” :). I have close friends and family there. I’m super exited to get there and help out my family and friends. 🎉🎉🎉🎉. 🫡 This was very helpful my friend. Thank you again. SLAVA UKRAINI 🫡
Great insight, I travelled twice this year by train to Kyiv and Lviv from 🇬🇧 to 🇵🇱 then to 🇺🇦 . Slava Ukraini
Love from India❤❤❤
1:38 I would already be lost. Never would have found the bus
love from wanderingmaniac❤
As much as I do that, I’d prefer the certainty of onward transport to wherever you be staying. Not knowing if their was a taxi/bus, what time they left and what time they get where you wanted to go isn’t something I’d be happy with.
I’d prefer to stick with the train from the border or fly to Moldova and get the bus to Odessa.
Love from India bro
Hi Orest I came from Wandering maniac channel love from india

Hi Orest - this is a super helpful video. I'm planning to go make this journey next month, and this video is the most informative I've found about the pedestrian border crossing. One question - in your video you showed that there was a queue for EU passports going from PL to UA. Is there the same EU queue going from UA to PL? Thank you and stay safe!
Love from India ❤
OREST LOTS OF LOVE FROM INDIA
Hi orest love from india
Hello orest late to the video i had a few questions about the legion and crossing the border if you have time, thank you
Love from India🇮🇳
Love
Hey Orest, quick question. It's not my first time traveling to UA. I noticed that taking the train takes longer because since the invasion PL reopened the border control inside Przemyśl station, which takes a while to cross (essentially crossing the border on foot). In your experience how do the wait times compare (on average) between what you did in the video and taking the train?
Witam czy przy przekraczaniu granicy jest jedna kolejka dla wszystkich czy też jest osobna dla obywateli UE
I tried to find the tickets from przemyśl to Lviv from the railway link in your description. I couldn't find it. Are thoose tickets not available anymore or is it just me that lack the smartnes to find them? :)
Hi, may I ask why you didn’t take the train straight from Przemysl to Lviv if that option exists?

Slava braci Ukrajincima
👍👍👍
Much more interesting to see how to pass from the other side.😁 Ukraine -> Poland
The link is not showing up anymore?
❤❤❤from 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳India
Hi, is there taxi at the ukraine side of the border? Or i need to call uber?
One question: If you want to pay a bus or Uber at shegyni border how do you get UAH? It seems virtually impossible to exchange it in Germany.
Good luck to all those entering Ukraine to fight in its defense
Godspeed to you all
can you get a train from warsaw to kivi
Sorry for disturbing
Just in case do you remeber how much did it cost to you crossing the border from poland to ukraine?
And other steps of this travel?
That URL given in the description for booking seems to have a problem.
What is the problem?
🌻🌻🌻
do you think pedestrian is faster than tourist bus crossing?
How do trains go from Ukraine to Poland when they use different gages? Are the trains tracks near the borders European standard? Where (how far away) do they change?
Ukrainian trains can reach Przemyśl station, 14 km west of the border.
One wide guage track (1520mm) crosses into Poland and terminates at Przemyśl station, allowing the UA trains to cross the border. In Rava Ruska the opposite is true, standard guage (1435mm) crosses the border into Ukraine with Polish trains terminating in UA.
Ukraine is high on my bucket list, plus the women are beautiful. Maybe I still have a chance to find love ❤️
Namaskar
Hello from Oregon …
I’m traveling to Lviv this month for a position at Lviv British School.
Any advice is welcomed
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Just come and enjoy 😊
@@zuborest Hi Orest, The link to purchase a train ticket is not working for me. Is there another link? Slava Ukraine!! Dean
😃
Hi Dear, hope you are fine
I need to go in Bila Tserkva to visit the grave of my husband murdered in Bakhmut in 2019, I want to visit his parents and my sister in law too. I have a colombian passport (we don't need visa, finally), and I want to know if I am going to pass the border control without problem. Somebody can give me some information about that please?
I'm from the US.. I wondering what an actual refusal letter to come back to the US looks like? Have a friend stating they're stuck due to a refusal letter to come back home.
How long did the border crossing on foot take you?
40 min
Orest, i'm wondering if its possible to drive to lviv from germany by ny Private car?
yes
@orestzub2 thx, do you know if special documents or permissions needed?
Very interesting. Do you know how easy or difficult it is for someone to drive into Ukraine in a EU or British registered car, out of interest?
It’s very easy. You just drive in 😉
Check Ukraine's requirements regarding an International Drivers Permit with the additional requirement due to Ukranian law and the year the agreement was signed.
Thanks,@@zlauriault, I will do that. International Drivers Permits are very easy to acquire here, so hopefully that shouldn't be too much of a problem. 👍
@@zuborest In my experience of driving/riding into the Balkans, Turkey and quite a few other European countries, it's never that easy, but I'll take your optimism! 🙃👍
Bro, I believe you also know hot to go from ukraine to Poland, if you have Ukrainian passport
I am from India🇮🇳 bro

So Orest do you provide a service for foreigners coming to visit this area of Ukraine? I'm planning on a visit for at least a month or possibly much longer, probably at the end of December or early January, and would really appreciate having someone show me the ropes when I first arrive ;?)
