If you do have to travel by bus, however, why not try to make the best of the experience? You might not have ever considered these advantages of bus travel, but you just might be surprised at some of the perks it offers.

More Time to Stretch Your Legs

While it can make the trip longer than you might expect, one advantage of taking the bus is the semi-frequent stops for gas and driver switches. This gives you the chance to stretch your legs, take a walk, or even get something to eat while outside. You can’t do this on a train or an airplane!

See the Sights Up Close

While buses go slowly and travel on the same roads as personal vehicles, one unexpected positive of this is that you’ll be able to see the changing landscape and towns that you pass through. Whether it’s traveling across a desert or through a mountain range, you’re sure to see something interesting.

Meet Your Neighbors

If you’re a social butterfly, the bus might be the best method of travel for you due to the opportunity it gives you to talk to your seatmates. Those sitting next to you are probably just as bored as you are, and it might be the opportunity to start a life-long friendship!

Organize

The keyword idea is to make it accessible. While your large luggage or backpack would go in the bottom storage, you’ll probably bring a smaller bag with you. Even within that, make sure to separate into a tote bag some necessities like your water bottle, phone charger, and maybe a snack, to allow for quick access. Keep the tote with you, keep your wallet in it as well so you can easily take it with you when there is a break.

Be Cozy

Just like in flights, you have limited control over the temperature and light during your trip. Be prepared with a large scarf you can use as a blanket, a beany that can cover your eyes, and weak layers you can peel off if it suddenly becomes too warm.

Keep Your Hygiene

Bring with you several types of tissue paper. Napkins for your food, sterile wipes for the bathroom, and facial tissues to wipe your face or your nose if the air conditioning becomes too intense.

Bus

You can travel cheaply from city to city with companies like Flixbus and Regiojet that offer frequent rides and many stops. You can take advantage of overnight rides and save on accommodation from time to time.

Train

Trains are fast in Europe and if you get a train pass for unlimited travel they can be pretty cheap, especially if you’re going to use them a lot.

Plane

There are several budget airlines that operate around Europe, such as Wizz Air, Ryanair, EasyJet, Vueling, etc. They offer incredible deals, especially if you book a few months upfront.

Car

You can rent a car and have complete freedom to go wherever you want without following any schedules.

Cruise

A cruise along the Baltic or Mediterranean sea is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so don’t miss it if you get the chance to go!

Unfortunately, buses can be cramped and uncomfortable. To make your bus experience less painful, here are some tips for how to make your next bus ride more bearable.

Bring a Book

One of the best ways to “get lost” while spending time on a bus is with a good book. It’s easy to forget about the time you have left on a bus and how uncomfortable you are if you’re observed in a quality page-turner.

Sit in the Aisle Seat

Although you may be tempted to go for a window seat to see the scenery while on a long bus ride, we recommend the aisle seat. This will give your legs more room to stretch out so that you don’t feel so claustrophobic.

Bring Relaxing Music to Listen to

Sometimes, when you’re crowded in an uncomfortable bus and you’re at your wits’ end, the best way to decompress and to relax is to listen to relaxing music by an artist that you like.

Dress Comfortably

Instead of wearing tight clothes that might look more fashionable the next time you’re on a bus, we recommend that you wear breathable, loose-fitting clothes that allow you to feel as comfortable as possible.
