How to reach hotels and conference site

You can reach Kiev city from Borispil airport by bus "Polit", bus schedule can be found here. The optimal way to reach hotels and conference site is following : leave the bus at metro station "Kharkivs'ka". Then, take a metro to the station "Palac Sportu", change metro line (at each intersection station there are only 2 metro lines crossing; the corresponding metro station is "Ploshcha L'va Tovstogo") and go to metro station "Lybids'ka" (end stop).

If you arrive to Kiev by train (to Kiev-Pass train station), we also recommend to take a metro to the station "Kreshatyk", change metro line (to station "Maidan Nezalezhnosti") and go to station "Lybids'ka".

There is a single exit from the metro station "Lybidska". First take escalator up stairs. Once went through the trigger machine, please proceed forward through the glass doors and then take to the right till the very end of a tunnel. At the end of the tunnel please take to the left, go up stairs and in about 10 meters ahead there is a desired bus stop (see the map above).

However, you can also get to hostel of ICE by bus #458 directly from the North terminal of Kiev-Pass train station. The bus #458 has not bus stop allocated here, so it usually stops next to McDonalds (point (2) on a map), which is seen to the left when you exit North terminal via the main entrance(point 3). Please ask driver if the bus goes in the direction to Vasil'kovskaya street and ask driver to stop at the bus stop "Amurskaya square", which is in ~35 minutes from the Kiev-Pass.
