It will provide a daily connection between the Ukrainian capital and the Romanian one, making the journey as comfortable as possible.

As it became known, the train route will pass through key Ukrainian cities, cross Moldova, stop in Velchinets and Ungheni, and then continue its journey to Iasi and, finally, to Bucharest, where the central station Gara de Nord is located.

This route opens up quick access to two airports in Romania:

A bus from Iasi to the airport leaves every 20 minutes.
From Gare de Nord in Bucharest, you can reach Henri Coandă Airport by high-speed train, followed by a transfer to the metro.
In addition, from the Bucharest train station, you can continue your journey to Budapest, Vienna, Sofia, and Istanbul.
