Travelling by bus from Lviv to Munich 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, transfers, 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 Lviv, the arrival time in Munich, the duration of stops and whether there are any changes. If 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 in good time: 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 you travel. General preparation for a trip to Germany is described in the related RedRay article.
Luggage and comfort
Label your suitcase, and keep your documents, medicines, charger, water and a warm layer of clothing with you. For a night flight, you’ll need a sleep mask, a small pillow and earphones. Do not pack any items in your luggage that you would be unable to do without should you face an unexpected delay.
Arrival in Munich
Make a note of your specific terminal at Munich Airport and the route to your accommodation. Download an offline city map, write 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.
