Booking and ticket options

To plan trips within Ukraine and abroad and purchase tickets, passengers can use the Ukrpas platform. This not only allows you to purchase tickets for long-distance and regional trains, but also offers comprehensive information on current departures and arrivals.

Ukrpas works closely with Ukrzaliznytsia roadmap to ensure smooth planning. Users can select trains, check seat availability and pay instantly in just a few clicks. Relevant information about departure times, travel times, train types and ticket prices is displayed.

For tickets within Ukraine, it is important to purchase them 20 to 30 days before the departure date, especially in high season as popular destinations can sell out quickly. Electronic tickets can be conveniently purchased online and do not need to be printed out, as Ukrzaliznytsia also accepts digital tickets.

The platform also offers support for passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility, including special carriages with wide doors and accessible toilets. Passengers can look forward to a comfortable and inclusive journey while exploring the beauty of the Ukrainian Carpathians.
