If you're taking a taxi or car, make sure you leave early enough to account for any traffic delays, as Toronto's roads can be notoriously busy!

• Best Value: $20/day or $95/week for outdoor parking at the Value Park lot, with free shuttle services directly to the terminals.
• $30/day or $125/week (for the first 7 days) for indoor parking right across the street from Terminals 1 and 3 in the Daily Park lot.

Arriving at Kiev Boryspil International Airport

After arriving at Kiev Boryspil International Airport (KBP), follow the signs to collect your baggage and move toward Ukrainian border control and customs. Make sure you've filled out the Arrival and Departure information on your immigration card - you'll need it to enter the country!

The easiest way to reach the city is by rental car or taxi. There is also a Sky Bus available from the airport, which can take you to Kiev Train Station (southern station side) for 80 UAH ($4 CAD) or Kharkivska Metro Station (green line) for 50 UAH ($2.50 CAD). From there, you'll likely have to transfer to Vokzalna Station (red line) or take a taxi to reach your hotel. 

Practical Information

Canadians can visit Ukraine for up to 90 days without any extra visa required, as long as your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your departure date. However, you'll still need to fill out an immigration card (both arrival and departure information) when you enter the country. Remember to keep your departure section safe, because you will need to present it at the airport when you leave!

The Government of Canada currently recommends avoiding all travel to Crimea or the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts due to armed conflicts in the area.

What to Expect in Kiev

The national capital of Ukraine, Kiev is a lively, eclectic city with a vibrant nightlife. As the center of Ukrainian culture, Kiev is home to a huge variety of museums, theatres, ancient ruins, and modern architecture. The main languages spoken are Ukrainian and Russian, with few citizens being fluent in English, so be sure to brush up on your language skills before you leave! Due to the prevalence of pickpockets, especially when using public transportation, we recommend leaving most valuable items in your hotel room if possible. There is some risk involved in traveling to Ukraine due to the recent armed conflicts and the occupation of Crimea by Russia, but Kiev is still a very safe city to visit!
