Dear Participant,
The Apimondia Congress is just a few days away – and you’re probably already packing
your bags to Kyiv.
Here are some practical tips to make sure everything goes swimmingly.

Getting to your hotel from the airport
Sky Taxi is  the fastest and most comfortable way.
You can book online or call +38 044 281-75-58, +38 044 281-7-281.
The price to get to the city centre is around 250 UAH  (24 euro).
Sky Bus is much cheaper (40 UAH ≈ 4 euro) and goes to the Central train station, from where you can take a subway train (look for the green “M”).
