Uzhhorod

城市概覽

Uzhhorod, or Uzhgorod as transliterated till the end of the 20th century, is the administrative center of Transcarpathia, which was annexed to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1945. Until then, it was part of Czechoslovakia, and before 1919 it was Austro-Hungarian. Its population in 2020 was 116,000 people. A foreigner has to be very patient with the natives, because some of them will be glad to help you, but some might like to make your life tougher. Uzhhorod's downtown is very nice with shops, restaurants, and even a small hotel.

Uzhhorod has one bidirectional line, which heads north towards Lviv, and south towards Chop [1]. There are no direct lines to Slovakia. The hub of railway transportation in Transcarpathia (and thus Uzhhorod) 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 and Moldova. 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 800 грн. From Hungary: there are trains running between Záhony (Hungarian Border Crossing) and further westward to Nyiregyháza and Budapest. 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.
