Today, travel agencies offer bus routes of varying durations and lengths, pure bus routes or combined routes - with a train or plane, targeted routes (one or two countries) or sightseeing routes (5-7 countries), with or without holidays at resorts.
Before you plunge into this stormy sea of offers, read our recommendations.
At the planning stage
The least burdensome are tours to Scandinavian countries, where the bus is “diluted” with a ferry.
The ideal duration of a bus tour is 7-9 days. And you will gain impressions, and you won’t have time to get tired!
To save as much energy as possible and not feel too exhausted, try to choose a tour with a minimum number of overnight transfers.
It is advisable to choose a trip with hotels of at least three stars. Although in Switzerland, Germany or Austria you can agree to two.
Take seats on the bus at the front of the cabin: no one is roaming around, the toilet is far away, the exit is nearby - you will be first in line to the store, cafe or toilet at a gas station (as a rule, a toilet on a bus quickly breaks down, if there is one).
If possible, select a tour according to age criteria. As a rule, the youth audience is more fun and mobile, while older tourists are more disciplined - you probably won’t have to sit by the bus for an extra hour while all the young people gather at the departure point.
When purchasing a tour, find out all the details of the trip: the type of bus, the location of hotels in the city and meals in them, whether excursions are included in the total cost of the tour.
Having found out a detailed route from a travel agency in advance, you can plan it at your own discretion in order to see what is interesting to you. While the bulk of your fellow travelers will be looking at castles, you can look into some “Masoch cafe” or the Museum of Devils, for example.
Fees
There is a reason to pay attention to small suitcases. When choosing a bus tour, be prepared for the fact that the main container of your belongings will have to be carried repeatedly from the bus to the hotel and back - the tour usually involves more than one overnight stay, or two.
There is no need to fill your suitcase to the top; leave it half empty for souvenirs and purchases.
When packing your wardrobe for a trip, check the weather forecast for the week. This will help you avoid unnecessary things, extra weight and unnecessary regrets. By the way! A good solution is to take a raincoat rather than an umbrella. It is more convenient and does not interfere with viewing, for example, the roofs of cathedrals in case of rain.
Remember that comfortable shoes are everything!
First aid kit is on the MUST HAVE list. Remember that you or your companions can become ill anywhere at any time. Take a standard set of medications for headaches, stomach upsets, and plasters with you. Anti-motion sickness pills in transport will also come in handy. You can take a sedative with you, but you may not need it: Belarusian travel agencies try not to take children under 6-8 years old on the bus tour.
Experienced travelers advise taking water with you. Much better. Better packaging. It can be placed in the luggage compartment and carried around the bottle as needed. Having done this, you will be grateful to experienced travelers for their advice, since water in Europe is more expensive the further west you go.
For those who don’t know: in Europe, smoking is a very expensive pleasure. Therefore, take your smoke with you. But within the limits permitted by customs legislation. At the same time, remember that smoking in Europe is allowed only in strictly designated areas. Your guide should warn you about them.
Take with you an inflatable travel pillow, as well as a blanket or warm socks. Hand sanitizer and wet wipes will definitely not be superfluous.
Helpful hint: at the first Polish parking lot, if you are leaving through Brest, Terespol, there will be a small shop where you can very cheaply buy a pillow, a blanket and other useful tourist goodies.
When traveling around Europe, take euros with you; recently, it is not so easy to change dollars in Europe. A card is of course welcome. Make sure you have some change in your wallet. Preferably those countries where you are heading. And take more money with you - it’s better to have some left over than not to have enough. Visiting museums, traveling on public transport, toilets in the city, souvenirs and “ahhh, I want this thing for myself” will cost an additional 150-200 euros. And even more.
When planning a trip, think carefully about the list of things you should take with you. The comfort of your trip depends on this. Take into account the fact that on weekend evenings, especially on Sundays, most establishments in European cities are closed - you won’t be able to buy an additional iron, hair dryer or medicine.
Dark glasses, a Panama hat or baseball cap, a swimsuit if you plan to visit a water park.
It is worth taking with you a non-perishable “snack”: crackers, bread, custard soups, sugar, a couple of bags of tea or coffee and similar products will obviously not be superfluous. In France, for example, catering establishments have a certain regime - between lunch and dinner in a cafe you will only be offered coffee, ice cream, a glass of wine...
By the way, breakfasts in hotels in different countries can vary greatly in density. If in Germany you are offered sausages, sausages, scrambled eggs, yogurt, then in France you can only count on coffee with a croissant and cereal with milk.
A European hotel room most often has one free socket. If you have a mobile phone, a camera and – quite possibly – a tablet, this will cause some inconvenience. So take with you spare batteries, accumulators, and a tee.
It’s worth taking care of all sorts of “entertainment” along the way - books, music, crossword puzzles, at worst, will help you not get bored on the way.
On the road
Go to the toilet whenever possible, because it is not a fact that when the “X-hour” comes for you, there will be any “stress relief points” within your access radius. And then you obviously won’t have time for castles and local beauties. Moreover, the option of “stopping at a forest” does not work in Europe - the environmental police patrol the roadsides very vigilantly. And a fine, if anything happens, is inevitable!
For the reasons already mentioned above, you should not drink a lot of liquid while on the road. You especially shouldn’t overuse beer, which is what our tourists do.
In general, try to drink less alcohol while traveling. Especially if you have a lot of overnight travel ahead of you. This way you will feel less exhausted at the end of the trip.
Earplugs and a blindfold for sleeping will help make it easier to endure overnight stays on the bus.
Well, a couple of final tips:
Remember that souvenirs away from tourist streets are two or even three times cheaper.
Don't be afraid to travel by public transport! It's not that scary, believe me. Navigator in your phone and guidebook to help!
So let's go galloping across Europe!!
Text: Tatyana Danilushkina
“galloping across Europe” means deciding something, doing something, looking through and inspecting, very quickly and superficially, carelessly, not efficiently.This saying was invented by Alexander Zharov, a Soviet poet, who in 1928, with his friends A. Bezymensky and I. Utkin, went on a trip to Czechoslovakia and Austria. It ended very quickly, because the local authorities treated the guests from Soviet Russia with great distrust and disdain, and showed every desire to quickly send them further along the route.

After arriving home, Zharov wrote several informative essays in Komsomolskaya Pravda, which were published on February 14 and 16, as well as March 1. He called his series of articles " Galloping across Europe"These publications about life abroad did not leave anyone indifferent, and even Maxim Gorky himself, having read them, wrote a critical article, which he called “On the Benefits of Literacy,” published in the newspaper “Reader and Writer.” In it, he expressed his negative opinion about some young people authors, who have a frivolous view of life abroad.Thus, with the light hand of M. Gorky, Zharov’s phraseology gained unprecedented popularity.

Application of the proverb “Ram across Europe” in literature
“He barely had time to keep up with the beat on the accordion, constantly being late for the nimble Rimma, who seemed to be galloping across Europe - she was performing a medley of various Eastern European folk songs.” ("Love with alcohol" by N. Medvedev)“Do you know the multiplication table? - I know,” Misha immediately exclaimed, “I learned it all by heart, even the most difficult one, by nine!...Wait, wait! Don’t gallop across Europe like that. Let’s start in order. six start" ("Corporal Massachusetts" V. Slavyanin)
“Lisa didn’t press further, - I joked with the money, I’m sure you’re not a greedy man. The thing is, Makarushka, these trips are painfully tight. We jump from one to another... Like a gallop across Europe. And you know my darling, how I want to be in peace, just for you and me" ("Props" by A. Vinogradov)
“For travel notes, our editors decided to send another journalist on the road, since everything must be done thoroughly and efficiently, and not like you, with a cavalry charge, “gallop across Europe” ("Quenching Thirst" by Yu. Trifonov)
Have you been looking for a long time for an opportunity to get the maximum of new experiences for minimal money with optimal comfort? Your wide-open eyes are capable of surprise, joy, sharing optimism, empathy, flirting, grinning, admiring 24 hours a day - bus tour for you! Visit 4 countries in a week and write about them own performance- this is only possible in a dream. Or traveling by bus. Why is the car option not being considered: there is no way to call the driver a tourist, a hard worker.
It’s unlikely that you should arrange a bus extreme if:
-
You usually walk only from the entrance to the tram, and three stops is a marathon distance.
- You do not recognize the principle of unity of command of the guide in the group, and you will defend your right to be 15 minutes late in the Hague court.
- Your normal cleanliness (daily shower) has no options (wash with dew, rain, swim in the fog...).
- You cannot limit your physiological needs from parking lot to parking lot, since you will be traveling “in all this” along with the other 45 passengers on the bus. Because, unfortunately, the “conveniences” on our buses are designed for hamsters.
You and the bus tour are made for each other if:
You are a fairly athletic person and your favorite sports are race walking and orienteering. In these sports, you are not a fan or a theorist, but at least a sportsman, and the appropriate equipment (especially shoes) is your second skin.
Your favorite literary genre (in the smoking room) is “stories from experienced people.” You can safely spin another story about “But one day in Paris, I’m sitting in Montmartre...”. And hardly anyone would dare to doubt the veracity of the legend; after all, there is a visa in the passport. And with a Photoshop friend, you can show yourself in the most tempting companies and interiors.
Your healthy herd feeling can lead you not only to the storming of the Bastille (someone has already gotten ahead of us, in my opinion), but also to the Louvre, and to the red light district, and to the zoo, solely for educational purposes.
You are tolerant of random travel companions and do not deny them the right to have small weaknesses (in the form of snoring or excessive talkativeness, or an indispensable desire to know your opinion on a matter...). In the end, you can be happy for yourself - you can only endure this company for a week, but for some it can be for the rest of your life!
Sleeping while sitting is your signature trick, practiced at work (in public transport, watching TV, looking after children on the playground, etc.).
You, like the great Bonaparte, prefer the smell of a natural body over several days of unwashed body to any “Parisian perfume.”
The concept of “shopping” is as insignificant for you as “squaring the circle” or the Andromeda nebula. Retail outlets interest you only from the point of view of purchasing souvenirs, but this goodness is now available in any place attractive to tourists for every taste.
You do not deny the role of the Personality in history, because for the next historical period such a person will be your guide - charming, erudite, sociable, friendly, witty, caring. And it depends on him whether your voyage will go down in the annals of history or whether you will try to quickly forget this story like a bad dream. You can believe that not every Napoleon can manage a random adult group in a foreign language environment without creating force majeure situations!
Do you want to feel for yourself that:
– V the roads are smooth but narrow, there are no bars on the windows of the houses, and the traffic cops are even meaner than ours;
– V the mixing of the well-fed West with the abolished East causes bewilderment, but the Berlin Zoo equalizes the entire fauna and reconciles. And our girls are against the local Frau like King Sun against Quasimodo;
– V The Eiffel Tower is like Mashenka from the fairy tale “I sit high, I look far away” - on the third day it’s already annoying. The concept of a “Paris window” is quite material and incredibly elegant. Parisian women wear such “suck” that our model fellow travelers don’t even want to try it on (why do men turn their heads?). Croissants and French rolls subtly differ from ours in taste, and very significantly in price. Gioconda is truly like a vigilant wife, never taking her eyes off you in any corner of the hall. And their transport problems in the center are no less than in Moscow.
– V The main mode of transport is a bicycle. The houses are on the water (and hemp grows there, if desired), and our 6 acres are considered a fortune. The workers of the “red light district” issue checks if they wish and are united in a trade union, and their work is considered no less prestigious than our sleeper layers. Dutch herring differs from our Alutor herring like that croissant from a milk loaf.
And in all countries, Russians are treated with sincere interest and respect. However, not even a theoretical attempt has ever been recorded to exchange the Loire for the Volga or the North Sea for the Central Russian Black Earth Region. True, communication took place more and more with the same ordinary people, without meetings “at the top,” but wasn’t it for the sake of his people that Napoleon went to Rus' at one time?
Finally, some practical tips:
1. With 50 euros per day for expenses, you can cover the cultural program to the maximum, eat normally, buy souvenirs and treat yourself to some local exotics (such as Dutch herring, French cheese, etc.).
2. After 4 excursions a day (as a rule), there is no energy left even for an evening planning meeting with a bottle of Bordeaux. If you want to just walk around the city for at least a couple of hours, you should give up something.
3. Take with you the optimal minimum of clothes, without the hope of “washing” them - even if you manage to arrange a wash, you won’t have time to dry.
4. Choose your shoes with special care - no unworn new clothes or stiletto heels (very dangerous on cobblestone streets). The more worn, familiar, and comfortable your shoes are, the more positive emotions you will get from the excursions.
5. Limit your luggage to ONE piece, it’s easier to handle at stops.
Have a nice journey and unforgettable emotions!
