Beautiful railway stations of Ukrainian cities

Railways are still the most convenient way to travel in Ukraine.

Not a lot of flights are available, in spite of the fact that many cities have airports. The problem is that they were all built during the Soviet period, and need to be reconstructed. The cost of the tickets is also an issue.

Bus service is well developed, but because of the large size of the country, traveling by bus can be tedious and not safe, as the quality of roads is poor.

Thus, a journey by train is the fastest, cheapest and safest way to travel around the country. An added bonus could be the fact that the railway stations in many cities of Ukraine by themselves are the sights that are worth seeing. Photos by Roman Naumov

    Lovely photos! Your post reminds me of my wonderful train trip four years ago from Simferopol to Lviv.

    Just wondering why you still use the old fashioned (Soviet era) spellings of Ukrainian place names?

    It rather detracts from otherwise excellent posts.

    Also, using the current (and proper) spellings would definitely win you a lot more popularly points with the English-speaking Ukrainian diaspora. :)

    Thanks for the post(s). Great blog!

    Thank you for your comment. I think you are right, but as the site is not official and Russian spellings of Ukrainian places are also widely used and searched, we in some cases use these names.

    Other spellings are also mentioned on the pages of the places. Probably in future we will unify all the names.
