Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. (Mark Twain)

Ultimate Ukrainian experience - 12h by overnight train. Check!!

At first a bit anxious and afraid, as you never know what to expect in the overnight train in any country, and whether it will be safe, in the end I did not really have a choice. The train was the best option to get to Lviv, and there were only overnight trains. I decided to buy the most expensive ticket for the first time sleeper, which costed me around 15 euros.

When I entered the train, I loved it immediately! Very cosy, with a carpet, and very nice compartments comprising two beds with clean bedsheets. Every carriage had its own "guardian" who was available for any kind of problem, or simply to serve a tea :)

We left after 6PM, and the journey took 12h. I spent it sleeping, and was well rested when the train arrived to Lviv shortly after 6AM. It was my second experience with a train in Ukraine, and the only thing I can say is that I highly recommend trains as a mean of transport in Ukraine - clean, comfortable and safe :)
