Get around

Kharkiv can seem very foreign for western travelers, mostly because of Cyrillic letters. It would be very useful to learn to read the Cyrillic alphabet before coming to Ukraine. Most Kharkivians speak Russian, as Kharkiv is 40 km from the Russian border. Though there will be a big possibility that the locals will not understand the Russian which comes from the travelers’ phrasebook. But it is worth trying to practice as there are only a few people who speak and understand English, mostly young Ukrainians.

By Metro

Tram system map

The Metro is the fastest and easiest way of getting around. Every day it carries nearly 1 million people; it is the most convenient public transport in Kharkiv. There are three metro lines (red, blue and green). The fare for one trip (as at March 2019) is 8 грн.

To enter the Metro you must buy a rechargeable card; the tokens are no longer used. A card can be bought at an automat for 10 грн and it can be recharged for an amount of up to 500 грн. To use the card just place the card on top of the turnstile to your right, make sure that the light is green and proceed. But make sure that you walk through the correct side of the turnstile otherwise there is the possibility that you will be hit by the metal gate!

The way the Kharkiv Metro is designed allows you to choose the direction of travel after you have paid for you trip.
