Crossing the sea by taking a bus

The company in the spotlight for today will be Eurolines because they offer the bus between Berlin and Copenhagen for a good price.  The only thing is that you have to be patient because the trip is about 8 hours more or less and you should buy the tickets one month in advance, at least.

The price for a trip between Berlin and Copenhagen can be found on the eurolines.de for 17 Euro, but the price can get up to 45 Euro, depending on the hour when you chose to travel or how close is the day of departure.

What I really like about this trip is that they make the trip rather comfortable. You get a bottle of water for free and the chairs are quite comfortable, suitable for a quick nap. Why would you have a quick nap if the trip lasts about 8 hours? Because you will have a surprise in the middle of the trip.

So, you go from ZOB, the main bus station from Berlin and you show your ID, you get your water, then you stay in your seat for about 3 or 4 hours and then you will hear the driver saying that you have a break for 45 minutes and that you have to leave the bus. Around, everything looks like a big tunnel or like a container.

I will not lie, the first time I have been there I was a bit scared because it looked like a really crowded parking lot for big cars, but then, once I took the elevator and got up I changed my mind. You soon realize why you have to go out from the bus. You are on a ferry and you can enjoy the duty free, the sea and the fresh air.

No matter what, if you travel during the day or during the night, the view is nice, because you can see the lights from one side or another and you can hear how the waves are crushing into the boat while you barely feel any move.

Once you cross the sea, you can go back to the bus and enjoy another short nap until you will reach Copenhagen. The bus station is close to the center, being behind the train station and the famous park Trivoli.

Enjoy your trip!
