Poland by bus

Most of our trips begin from Poland, Spain or Romania because the writers are coming from those parts of Europe or just travelling from there more often. Today we will talk about Poland and the trips you can find if you look carefully. This article is based only on the trips by bus.

Poland is a really good country regarding prices and position, because it is close to Czech Republic, Germany is a few hours away, Ukraine is reachable with a bus or two and the trips to the Baltic countries are very cheap. Nearby you have also Hungary and Austria or Slovakia and it is amazing when you can find trips for more or less 5 Euros. 

First time when we discovered PolskiBus was when we were going to Berlin for the weekend. Buying tickets in advance, at least 1 month in advance, is better because the prices are more affordable and you can be sure that you have a seat in the bus. We found tickets from Wroclaw/ Breslau for 15 zl (which is translated in 4 Euros) or even for 1 zl (less than 50 cents), but the second ones are rare birds in the sky and you have to be one of the first buyers in order to get them. Buying a ticket in the same month, as we did, can increase the price from 15 to 60 zl.

Still, I consider that LuxExpess is the best bus company because it gives to its clients drinks for free, a bottle of water and coffee, tea or other warm drinks for free. The place between the seats is larger and the seats are more comfortable. The price of the tickets can go from 19 zl (5 Euro) to 160 zl (40 Euro). They go to the Baltic countries or to Budapest, Prague or Vienna. They have many discounts and you you have newsletter from them you will get to know all their offers in time and enjoy their trips.

The thing I love the most from this company, except their hot chocolate, is the fact that they have tactile screens with internet connection and a wide selection of TV shows, movies and songs. Internet is provided almost everywhere and that is a big plus comparing with PolskiBus which offers internet connection only on Polish territory. This is annoying when you have a trip from Budapest to Wroclaw.

Eurolines can be expensive for Poland, but nonetheless an option. They have good seats, but their internet can be a really nerve eater. I have waited 4 minutes to open one page on my phone, afterwards I just gave up and embraced the idea of not having internet connection. The personal is usually nice, but I still prefer LuxExpress or PolskiBus more.

Whatever you pick...Enjoy your trip!
