    01 — Weekend composer

    Three choices, then a weekend you can actually take.

    Set where you leave from, how long you have, and what you want out of the trip. The composer returns a rail-led plan for two days, with real departure times instead of a rounded guess.

    1. 01

      Pick your origin station

      Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro or Kharkiv. Each option lists the station, the train number, and the door-to-door time on the current timetable.

    2. 02

      Choose your duration

      Two days is the default. One night, two nights, or a Friday evening departure all reshape the route the composer builds for you.

    3. 03

      Set a theme

      Rail, nature, food or history. Your theme decides where the overnights sit and which local guide joins the group, which stays small on purpose.

    04 / Sample itinerary

    Two days, one rail line: a weekend in Lviv, composed in seconds

    This is the plan the composer returned for three inputs: from Kyiv, two days, history and food. Every rail segment shows its departure time and duration, so you can check the schedule before you commit.
