The difference between €39 and €92 is due to different carriers and dates, not a discount. The upper limit was shown by only one seller and was calculated based on the last two days of searches.
Check your own date
The price and the time depend on the date and the service. Open both sources: the first to check your chosen date, the second for an independent comparison.
KOMPAS does not sell tickets and is not affiliated with any carrier — we only show you where to check a service.
Where it departs from and arrives
We list only the stops that matched across both sellers. The exact address and time are on your ticket.
- Lviv, Stryiska bus station, 109 Stryiska St.
- Lviv, railway station, 1 Dvirceva Sq.
- Poprad, autobusová stanica, Jiřího Wolkera
Both sellers mention Jiřího Wolkera street, but write the house number differently, so we list the street without the number.
The border and the queues
We do not name a specific crossing point or a waiting time: the operator can change the route and the queue changes by the hour. Check the official maps right before you set off.

Travelling from of Lviv to of Poprad: what to know
The Lviv – Poprad route is served by international buses from several carriers. We do not publish schedules or "starting prices": they change daily, and an error here can cost a person a real trip. Instead, below is what is truly worth checking before buying a ticket – documents for departure and return, how to read border crossing data, rules for children and pets, and baggage allowance.
Lviv – Poprad: price, time, and stops
In the offer for 25.07–01.08.2026, checked on 26.07.2026, two independent sellers showed €39–92 for this route and a travel time of 10 hours – 11 hours. To this time, you always have to add the border queue, which no one knows in advance. Prices and durations here are a dated snapshot of the market, not an offer: check your date on FlixBus and Busbud.
Stops where both sources agreed: in Lviv – Lviv, Stryiska Bus Station, Stryiska St. 109, Lviv, Railway Station, Pl. Dvirceva 1; in Poprad – Poprad, autobusová stanica, Jiřího Wolkera. Names confirmed by only one source are not listed: the exact stop for your trip is indicated on the ticket and may differ.
What to check before traveling from Lviv
| What to check | Where to look | When |
|---|---|---|
| Price and time for your date | FlixBus and Busbud | before buying |
| Exact boarding stop | ticket / carrier confirmation | after buying |
| Documents for return | IOM Slovakia, Alien Police | a week before the trip |
| Border queue | official waiting maps | on the day of departure |
| Baggage allowance | your carrier's ticket conditions | before payment |
| Rules for pets | EU veterinary requirements + carrier's consent | 1–3 months before |
Documents for travel and return
A short trip to Ukraine does not in itself terminate temporary asylum in Slovakia. For your return, prepare a valid passport and a valid **plastic** residence card. If you only have a paper document, check the conditions for re-entry into the Schengen Area in advance – this is the most common reason for problems on the way back. Sources: IOM Slovakia, European Commission.
Child on a trip
A child needs their **own** valid travel document – simply being listed in an adult's passport is not enough. If a child travels without one or both parents, additional permits may be required, and the rules depend on the country of departure, entry, and transit simultaneously: there is no single EU rule. Clarify child ticket conditions and the availability of a separate seat with the carrier – they vary even within the same operator. Source: Your Europe.
Traveling with a pet
For entry from Ukraine to the EU, a microchip, vaccination, and a "pet passport" may not be enough. Depending on the documents and travel history, a rabies antibody test, a veterinary certificate, and entry through a designated point may be required. Current requirements can be found at the European Commission and ŠVPS SR. Arrange transportation with the carrier separately: border documents do not guarantee boarding the bus.
Border crossing: what official data shows
Border crossing time cannot be predicted in advance: queues change hourly and depend on the day of the week, the crossing point, and the direction of travel. Official waiting times are published by the Financial Administration of Slovakia, and a map of crossing points is available from the State Customs Service of Ukraine. Check them immediately before departure, not a week in advance. Only the carrier knows which specific crossing point your flight uses – the operator may change the route without notice.
Important nuance: **the absence of a number on the map does not mean zero waiting time** – it often simply means the data has not been updated. Conversely, a "30 minutes" indicator refers to the moment of viewing, not your flight six hours later. Therefore, allow extra time for connections with other transport and do not plan important meetings immediately after arrival.
Baggage and ticket purchase
There is no single baggage allowance for these routes: the number of pieces, weight, dimensions, and additional fees depend on the operator and the specific leg of the route. Before paying, check the baggage conditions of the specific seller you are buying from, and do not assume the allowance of one carrier applies to another. It is safer to buy tickets on the official website or app of the carrier, and use aggregators to compare offers.

Where does the bus depart from in Lviv and where does it drop off in Poprad?+
Both sellers agreed on the following stops: in Lviv — Lviv, Stryiska Bus Station, Stryiska St. 109, Lviv, Railway Station, Pl. Dvirtseva 1; in Poprad — Poprad, autobusová stanica, Jiřího Wolkera. We only list the names confirmed by both sources. Check your ticket for the exact stop of your trip; carriers change them.
What documents are needed to enter Slovakia?+
A valid international passport is required. If you already have Slovak temporary protection or another legal residence permit, bring its valid document too. If you are traveling for the first time, the visa-free regime allows stays of up to 90 days within 180 days; for temporary protection, the status is processed in Slovakia. Check the exact entry conditions on minv.sk as they change.
How much luggage can I take?+
There is no single standard for these routes: the number of pieces, size, weight, and extra charges depend on the operator and the specific ticket. Before paying, check the luggage rules of the seller for the selected route. Do not assume that the rules of one operator apply to another.
What documents does a child need to leave Ukraine?+
A child needs their own valid international passport. Ukraine, not the destination country, sets the conditions for a child to travel abroad: depending on who the child is traveling with, a notarized consent from one or both parents may be required. The rules change periodically, so check them before your trip on gov.ua and separately check the carrier's requirements for a child's ticket.
Can I travel with a pet?+
Check two independent conditions: the veterinary rules for entry into the EU/Slovakia and the operator's consent to take a pet on this specific trip. A microchip, vaccination, or passport alone do not guarantee legal entry or boarding. Before buying, check the current list of documents and the carrier's rules.
Where can I check the schedule and buy a ticket for this route?+
Check FlixBus to verify the selected date and Busbud for an independent comparison of offers. The price and time on this page are just a dated snapshot of the market. Buy only after the seller shows the currency, exact stops, time, and conditions for your specific ticket.
Which border crossing does the bus use and how long is the wait at the border?+
Do not rely on a specific border crossing or waiting time: the operator may change the route, and the queue is dynamic. Clarify the exact route with the seller or on the ticket, and check official waiting time maps before departure. The absence of a number on the map does not mean a zero queue.
