3000 km Across Ukraine: Is it worth planning a trip?
If you have long wanted to travel to another region but postponed it due to the ticket price, the "3000 km Across Ukraine" program may be a good reason to hit the road. Participants have access to 3000 kilometers for trips on Ukrzaliznytsia trains, and the initiative aims to support domestic travel and connections between Ukrainian cities.
What the program offers
Every adult citizen of Ukraine can receive a limit of 3000 kilometers. It can be used to book train tickets for domestic routes connecting major cities and regional centers. The bonus kilometers are valid until December 23, 2026, so there is no need to spend them all on one trip.
The program covers 24 Ukrzaliznytsia routes. However, it is not about freely choosing any train: availability depends on the list of trains and the number of seats allocated for the program. The easiest way to find such options is in the carrier's app — they are marked with a special "3000" marker.
How to book a trip
To participate, you need to have the Ukrzaliznytsia app, update it to the latest version, and confirm your account via "Diia.Signature." After that, you should open the program section in the app, click "Participate," and search for the desired train marked "3000."
The limit can be distributed among several trips instead of spending it all at once. Therefore, the program is suitable for both a single long journey and several shorter trips across Ukraine throughout the year.
Who benefits from this
The offer will be most interesting to those who plan to travel during periods with more available seats on trains. You can use the kilometers for a trip to another city, visiting relatives, or a short trip without significant travel expenses.
It is worth noting that the program covers only the train journey, not accommodation, meals, or other expenses. Also, the choice of trains is limited to available routes and seats, so the most popular destinations may be quickly booked out.
If you have a planned trip across Ukraine before the end of 2026, it is definitely worth checking the possibility of using these 3000 kilometers. And where would you go first — to the Carpathians, to the sea, or to a city you haven't visited in a long time?
