Uzhhorod

By plane

Uzhhorod has a very small airport IATA code - UDJ. There are flights only to or from Kiev, Simferopol and Moscow. There are plans to close the airport in a few years.

By train

Uzhgorod has one bidirectional line, which heads north towards Lviv, and south towards Chop (http://www.uz.gov.ua/inde...). There are no direct lines to Slovakia. The hub of railway transportation in Transcarpathia and thus Uzhgorod is Chop; it has dual-gauge rails for trains coming from Slovakia and Hungary, a line going towards southern Transcarpathia, and the main line going towards Stryi/Lviv that connects one with the rest of Ukraine, Moldova, Russia, and Belarus.

To/From Slovakia: there is a single border crossing train running two to three times a day between Čierna nad Tisou to Chop. Additionally, It is possible to get a train directly between Chop and Bratislava and Vienna for around 20 euros.

To/From Hungary: there are trains running between Záhony Hungarian Border Crossing and further westward to Nyiregyháza and Budapest. Note that connections to Budapest tend to be higher priced; if one wishes to get to Vienna or Prague, it's definitely cheaper to go through Slovakia.

To/From Moldova: a direct route does not exist in Transcarpathia; one must take a train directly to Chernivtsi, and from Chernitvsti there is a daily train going to Moldova.

To/From Romania: there are railway border crossings from Solotivno and one other place.

Note that there are direct routes to Odessa, Kiev, Moscow, Simferopol, and Harkiv directly from Uzhgorod. For larger connections to Central Europe and elsewhere in Russia/Ukraine/Belarus, refer to Chop.

In general: it's best to consult Ukraine's railway web page, which is a relational database and allows anyone to examine the schedule of both a route AND a station simply by clicking on it. The web site for Uzhgorod station can be found here (http://www.uz.gov.ua/inde...).

Uzhhorod's downtown is very nice with shops, restaurants, and even a small hotel. You will need to get on a taxi or marshrutka to get to downtown.
