A journey to Germany can take up a significant part of the day, so being well prepared makes all the difference to your comfort. Pay particular attention to your documents, connections and the exact arrival address.
Planning your journey
Compare not only the price, but also the journey time, the number of stops and the arrival time. Arriving at night may make it difficult to transfer to local transport.
Comfort on the journey
Take water, a snack, a power bank, a pillow and a warm layer of clothing. Download your ticket, map and hotel address so you can access them without an internet connection.
Transport on arrival
Check whether the bus arrives at the central coach station or a specific stop. Allow plenty of time between connections for your onward journey.
A quick checklist before you travel
- Compare journey times, not just prices
- Check the arrival address
- Allow time for transfers
- Download an offline map
Before you set off, check the current terms and conditions on your ticket and border crossing rules on official websites. You can find a convenient bus service and compare departure times and prices on RedRay.
