* [[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.

Nina=== Into Ukraine === After crossing the border, 11/2016: At this spot (or what I though walk down the road for a few hundred meters until the exit of the town. It is helpful to be this spot) there were almost no cars and many people, so I took hitchhike with a bus to Przemysl for 2 zloty (~0sign "Lviv" from the petrol station or from in front of the local school.5 euro) and from there got There's also usually a bunch of people waiting around to Krakow rather quicklycar share towards Lviv, might be hitchable with some smooth talking.

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 ==
After walking over the border by foot, follow the way for 250 m until you see some people selling cigarettes and alcohol (or not), anyway at the end of the fence to your left there's a small muddy footpath along it. Use this one for 300 m and you'll be on the starting highway just 50 m behind the border. Best is to start hitching behind the entry to the supermarket, as quite some traffic coming from Ukraine just goes there and back. Also some locals might appear and try to hitch rides, who might not know that much about hitchhiking etiquette, so don't be irritated. Getting rides to Przemysl is pretty easy and might not take longer than 10 minutes.
