14 Hours on a Ukrainian Sleeper Train | A Slow Eastern Europe Adventure



14 Hours on a Ukrainian Sleeper Train | A Slow Eastern Europe Adventure

Hello from Romania! 🇷🇴 Today, we ride the 14-hour overnight “Prietenia” train on the route from Bucharest to Kiev. This slow Eastern Europe adventure aboard a Ukrainian sleeper train includes a fascinating boogie change at the border.

In this video, we travel in a second-class sleeper compartment operated by Ukrainian Railways, showing what it’s like to cross the border and spend the night on the Bucharest–Kiev train.
Enjoy the ride!

    Нда-а, в Молдове разруха полнейшая, разворовано всё как и в стране "У". Всё ради вступления в ЕС и связанных с этим дотаций.
    А всякие там конфликты и войны – это просто издержки, не более. Главное большими буквами писать, что Приднестровье это НЕПРИЗНАННАЯ республика, а Тирасполь это НЕПРИЗНАННЫЙ город.
    Тьфу, блин.

    Молдавские купейные вагоны это наверное Амендорф?
