The travel options in Europe are seemingly endless!
Part of the excitement of planning a European vacation is mapping out all the different cities you wish to visit. Whether your trip will take you from Paris to London or Berlin to Amsterdam, a significant portion of your trip will involve planning and budgeting and figuring out the best methods to get from city to city. The travel options in Europe are seemingly endless, and methods of transportation in Europe, like budget airlines and ridesharing apps, could seem foreign to tourists from other parts of the world. Read on to learn about the different transportation methods you can take in Europe!
Traveling by Bus
Bus travel is becoming a lot more popular with travelers looking for a combination of low and dependable service. Much like trains, booking your long-distance bus trip in advance could help you score a deal. Plenty of long-distance bus companies offer a basic class of service, which is just a comfortable seat on the bus, as well as an executive class, which can include a bigger leather seat, pillow and blanket, meal service, and entertainment. Buses also offer fire wireless internet for their passengers. Bus station locations vary depending on the bus line and the city, so make sure you understand where to catch the bus and where you will be dropped off. There are plenty of buses all across Europe, so consider them if you’re looking for a quick and easy way to get around!
Traveling by Tram
Tram routes in Europe are experiencing a serious boom. Cities that once abandoned trams have also restored them and are actively developing them. That has been the case in a lot of cities, like Nice, Madrid, and Palermo. They’ve also started to build tram networks in cities that previously did not have them, like in London and Athens. A few of the best tram-trains to transport you around are Prague, Budapest, and Lisbon. If you’re curious about tram traveling, we at AESU can let you know about your options on your next European vacation with us!
Traveling by Train
There’s a certain romanticism in traveling around Europe on a train. Train travel is certainly the most comfortable way to move in between cities; you can stand up and stretch and watch the world go by out the window. There are usually well-equipped, clean toilets on the trains, and you can buy food and drinks during the trip. Most train stations in Europe are located in city centers and have great public transportation connections to the main hotels and other tourist attractions.
