From October 10, 2025, Ukrzaliznytsia will launch a railway connection between Ukraine and Romania. The capitals of both countries will be linked by train 99/100 Kyiv–Bucharest, operating daily.
The route will pass through Vinnytsia, Zhmerynka, Mohyliv-Podilskyi, Velchineț (Moldova), Ungheni (Moldova), and Iași (Romania). Notably, the city of Iași, with its international airport, is a key logistics hub for Ukrainians traveling to European Union countries.
“Every new international route is not only about passenger convenience but also about integrating Ukraine into the European transport network. Recently, we opened the first Euro-gauge line directly connecting Uzhhorod with three European capitals. We are already working on expanding it in several directions, particularly in Zakarpattia and Volyn. Ukraine should become part of the broader European TEN-T transport corridors, which shape the future of logistics in Europe,” said Vice Prime Minister for Ukraine’s Recovery and Minister for Communities and Territories Development, Oleksiy Kuleba.
The train will depart Kyiv at 06:30 and arrive at Bucharest’s Gara de Nord central station at 06:47 the following day. From this station, high-speed trains regularly connect to the airport.
In the reverse direction, departure from Gara de Nord, Bucharest, is at 19:10, arriving in Kyiv at 19:41 the next day.
The ticket price for a sleeper carriage is approximately UAH 3,800. Tickets are already available for purchase via the Ukrzaliznytsia app or website.
