How to get into Ukraine from Poland | Medyka - Shegyni border

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.

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)

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.

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

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.

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!

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?

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.

@peterhinrichs4765 9 ай бұрын

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.
