* [[User:MaxHermens]] says: Even before you enter this queue, there is a big group of of people waiting outside. They're taking Vodka across the border as a job. They push and pull and will call you names. Be prepared and perhaps it's best not to know Ukrainian at this point.
Be prepared for controls of your luggage, the Polish guards do so with nearly everybody coming from Ukraine (cigarettes), on the other side the Ukrainians are most likely not that strict.

Waiting times by car could go up to 8 or more hours, depending on the traffic, of course, so the best way is to take your backpack and walk over by foot. Unfortunately, depending on your nationality, waiting time can fluctuate pretty much. There will be most likely be a small/no queue for EU/EEA citizens and a very long one with "all other passports", even at 5 in the morning.
There's a 1 hour time difference between both countries, so don't forget to set your clock if you require one.
== Hitchhiking out ==
=== Into Ukraine ===
After crossing the border, walk down the road for a few hundred meters until the exit of the town. It is helpful to hitchhike with a sign "Lviv" from the petrol station or from in front of the local school. There's also usually a bunch of people waiting around to car share towards Lviv, might be hitchable with some smooth talking. == Public Transport == There are minibuses and also a local city bus going from Medyka to Przemysl, and minibusses from Shegyni to [[Lviv|L'viv]] (Western Bus Station, price is around 80 UAH, no credit card, year 2020). The cigarettes selling babushkas will lead you the right way.
