'''{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}''' is the second largest city in [[Ukraine]]. It is also spelled Харкiв in Ukranian and Харьков in Russian. Note that if you search Google maps you will only get the right location upon entering ‘Kharkov’.<br />
<br />
== Hitchhiking out ==<br />
<br />
=== East towards [[Russia]] ===<br />
<br />
Find the metro and make it to Derzhprom/Держпром (Gosprom/Госпром in Russian) station, which is a trasfer station between the Saltivska and Olexiyivska lines and 3 stops away from the Train Station (Пiвденний Вокзал). Ask around for a minibus to Piatikhatka (Пятихатка) — it normally stops just in the same place. Attention, the minibus no longers leaves from the Radianska station! The minibus will take you to the remote rural area near the ringroad; exit the vehicle right after it turnes left from the main road. Walk back to the road and walk on some 500 meters to the junction and then a little more up the hill for a good spot or hitch right away — the Russian-Ukranian border is 15 km in front of you.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that in the morning and daytime you can also take the buses and the cheap (7 UAH, less than $1) trains over the border going to Russian city [[Belgorod]], to avoid all the extra questions and possible troubles with pedestrian border-crossing. Both leave from the Train Station mentioned above.<br />
<br />
The price of one metro ride is 1,5 UAH at the time of writing; the minibus should cost you 2,5. The total is less than $0.5.<br />
The bus over the border should be something close to $5 and you can try to bargain the price down up to 30%. The bus driver should accept Russian roubles and even dollars/euros if you give money directly to him bypassing ticket office; but to pay for everything else you will have to have hrivnas (UAH). <br />
<br />
=== West towards [[Kyiv]] ===<br />
<br />
There is a huge agglomeration west of Kharkiv which goes for at least 15 km on end; if you are already behind the ringroad it may be good idea to take some minibus till it goes off the main road; if the inhabitant area is not over just take another one and repeat the trick. I didn't have UAH when I happened to be there, and I had no intention to go back to the city to change some money so I asked some truck driver who stopped nearby to give me a lift. But it was pure luck to have a truck right there so you better have some local cash in your pocket and take the minibus.<br />
<br />
If you are in the city, you might want to take the local train to get outside. Take the metro to the Zavod imeni Malysheva (Завод iм. Малишева) station and find a railway 200 m west of it. Follow the rails south for another 300m and you will find a train station; from there take a train to Korotych (Коротыч) or even to Ogultsy (Огульцы), the road will be 1 km north of the former and 1 km east of the latter. I have not yet tried this way of getting out of the city myself, and the advice is given according to the map only; but I am almost sure it will work fine.<br />
<br />
== Hitching In ==<br />
<br />
== Public Transport ==<br />
<br />
There is a metro in Kharkiv, it is a fairly good and easy-to-navigate one; the price of one ride is 1,5 UAH and there is no limitation of how long this one ride will take. Mind that the metro is closed at night time.<br />
<br />
== Places to Visit ==<br />
<br />
== Places to Avoid ==<br />
<br />
== Accommodation and Sleep ==<br />
<br />
As with all the Ukraine, use [[finding accommodation|hospitality exchange]] websites or Russian+Ukraine+Belarus livejournal community [http://vpiska.livejournal.com vpiska] to find both place to stay and native-speaking company.<br />
