The refurbished Central Railway Station (центральний вокзал) has now been joined by a futuristic-looking Southern Railway Station (південний вокзал), with the platforms located between the two. A new waiting lounge up the stairs to the left from the central main hall boasts comfy couches for a 5Hr admission fee. Currency exchange (обмін валют) points and ATMs (банкомат) are in the main halls of each station. Telephone calls can be made by paying money at a window on the 2nd floor near the central station’s escalators and then proceeding to the appropriate booth. Coin-operated pay telephones are scattered throughout the building, while card-operated ones are mostly outside the central entrance.
Getting to town You’re basically in it already, but short taxi rides to Khreschatyk Street (Хрещатик) area cost 20Hr and up. The entrance to metro station Vokzal’na (Вокзальна) is to your left as you exit the central station - look for the green letter M. Khreschatyk is only three stops east on the red line. Various trolleybuses, buses and minivans also depart from the central station. Those with light bags and fresh legs can head down the main road and turn right at Shevchenko Boulevard (бульв. Т.Шевченка), which runs into Khreschatyk.
