Travelling by coach from Kyiv to Nuremberg requires not complicated, but thorough preparation. It is important to compare not only the departure times, but also the full route, departure and arrival points, any changes, luggage rules and ticket change conditions.
How to choose a journey
Set your travel dates on RedRay and view the details of each option. Check the boarding point in Kyiv, the arrival time in Nuremberg, the duration of stops and whether there are any transfers. If your arrival is scheduled for the morning or late evening, check in advance the public transport timetable and check-in rules.
Ticket and boarding
Once you’ve booked, check the passenger’s name, date, cities, stop address and luggage conditions. Save your ticket on your phone and also as a separate offline copy. It’s best to arrive at the departure point early: a large station, document checks and checking in your luggage all take time.
Documents and border control
Keep your original documents in your hand luggage. Requirements depend on your nationality, passenger status and the entry rules of the destination country, so only check up-to-date official sources before travelling. General preparation for a trip to Germany is described in the related RedRay article.
Luggage and comfort
Label your suitcase, and keep your documents, medication, charger, water and a warm layer of clothing with you. For a night-time flight, you’ll need a sleep mask, a small pillow and earphones. Do not pack any items in your luggage without which you would be unable to continue your journey following an unforeseen delay.
Arrival in Nuremberg
Make a note of the Nuremberg coach station and the nearest exit to public transport. Download an offline city map, note down the address of your accommodation and have a backup travel plan ready. You’ll find ideas for your first walk in the RedRay city guide.
A quick checklist
