How to get around in Kharkiv

Kharkiv can seem very foreign for western travelers, mostly because of Cyrillic letters. It would be very useful to learn to read the Cyrillic alphabet before coming to Ukraine. Most Kharkivians speak Russian, as Kharkiv is 40 kilometers from the Russian border. Though there will be a big possibility that the local residents will not understand the Russian which comes from the travelers’ phrasebook. But it is worth trying to training as there are only a few people who speak and understand English, mostly young Ukrainians.

By Metro

Kharkiv Tram System.svg|Tram system map|upright=1.5

The Metro is the fastest and easiest way of getting around. Every day it carries nearly 1 million people; it is the most convenient public transport in Kharkiv. There are three metro lines (red, blue and green). The fare for one trip (as at March 2023) is 8 грн.

To enter the Metro you must buy a rechargeable card; the tokens are no longer used. A card can be purchased at an automat for 10 грн and it can be recharged for an amount of up to 500 грн. To use the card just place the card on top of the turnstile to your right, make sure that the light is green and proceed. But make sure that you walk through the correct side of the turnstile otherwise there is the possibility that you will be hit by the metal gate!

The way the Kharkiv Metro is designed allows you to choose the direction of travel after you have paid for you trip.

By tram

The Kharkiv tram network one of the few left in Ukraine, since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The number 12 tram line is very useful if you wish to visit the far northeastern part of the city.

Kharkiv Underways Existed under the City of Kharkiv still more than 355 years ago. Some source said the underpasses age going back to the pre-Mongolian period, 10th–12th centuries. Which means theseare actually of the same age with the Kievan Rus. In 1913–1914 a special commission of the City Council studied the underpasses found during the construction of the city sewage system. The teodolite survey and photographs of the underground cavities were made. The Commission studied all the underpasses,the existence of which was known then: both those just found and those which had already been used for a long time by enterprising merchants for storing various goods: textiles,wines and food. They explored underground galleries, rooms, passes and made up a preliminary description of what they saw. The NKVD-KGB secret police carefully recorded and placed on the secret list all the documents on the underpasses, especially after 1956 when a secret order on the underground caves, passes, shelters, etc. was issued, as the Soviet Union started to prepare bombshelters in case of the nuclear war. Now some of these records kept at the Korolenko Scientific Library. In the 1990s it became an object of the study by Kharkiv Speleological Club “Variant-95”. Finally in 2005 on the title The Mysteries of the Underground Kharkiv was published, which provided all the information available at that time. Maybe very soon, not only the researchers and scientists, but all numerous tourists and the Kharkovites themselves will have a chance to experience the mystery of the underpasses.
