14 Hours on a Ukrainian Sleeper Train | A Slow Eastern Europe Adventure

Hello from Romania! 🇷🇴 Today, we ride the 14-hour overnight “Prietenia” train on the route from Bucharest to Kiev. This slow Eastern Europe adventure aboard a Ukrainian sleeper train includes a fascinating boogie change at the border. In this video, we travel in a second-class sleeper compartment operated by Ukrainian Railways, showing what it’s like to cross the border and spend the night on the Bucharest–Kiev train.
