Transportation to City Center
Taxi
Taxis will make the 40-minute trip into town for a fare of no more than US$30. Negotiate a fare in advance; although, in this case, it may be helpful to know some Ukranian or Russian as drivers do not normally speak English. Have your destination written down in advance to assist your bargaining prowess. Rental vans and sedans will cost US$20 and US$15, respectively. Buses (tel: [380] (44) 225-2252) will deposit travelers at Ploscha Peremohy. The metro does not travel to the airport.
