Is the Bus Leaving?
Good morning, everyone!
A couple of weeks ago I went for a small trip to the city of Braga, a bit North of my hometown of Porto, Portugal.
Usually I would take the train, as it's my favourite means of transport.
But this time I decided to use FlixBus, as I already travelled with them in Austria, Hungary and Slovakia and the experience was very pleasant.
I must say their standards remain high. The experience was perfect. 🤗
- Buying the ticket through their app was extremelly easy;
- Finding the Bus Stop was pretty simple, too, as it's located very near a train and a metro station, right in the city centre;
- The Bus was there 15 minutes before departure and left on time;
- The Bus arrived the destination a couple of minutes ahead of schedule;
- The Bus driver was very friendly;
- The Bus wasn't packed so I could get a window seating with no one travelling next to me, which left me with plenty of room and confort;
- The ticket fare was 3x cheaper than any other alternative.
I stayed in Braga for 3 days... but the schedule of FlixBus is so practical that you can leave Porto in the morning, reach Braga a couple of hours before lunch, walk around the city during the afternoon... then head back to Porto in the evening and arriving just in time for dinner. This is very convenient if you're a tourist staying in Porto. 😎
I had plenty of time to walk around the Bus station and take a few photos before the trip. I have a few more shots in my camera but I haven't yet sorted them out. These are just the ones I took with my phone.
I hope you enjoyed these photos and my little review of FlixBus. No, I don't work for them. It's free advertising!

Cool idea for my next trip to Porto... although if I go back to Portugal, I'd like to stay a few days in Lisbone
Probably not a bad idea. I cannot tell much about Lisbon, I rarely go there. 😁

Hey Trin! did you enjoy riding the bus? obviously cause you're writing about them!😆I am glad I am not the only person who loves riding buses. I am not alone/ hahahahaha
Using the bus is not bad but I certainly feel a lot more comfortable on a train. 😎
I travelled from Rome to Berlin once on Flixbus, overnight, and it was brilliant... I didn't sleep much, and the changes in the middle of the night in bus stations was a bit rough, BUT the journey itself was sooooo beautiful - especially the countryside roads between towns where we stopped.... and I saw some of the most glorious sights, early in the morning, as we drove back down through north Italy... well, well, well worth the €60! :-D
That sounds like an interesting journey! But why was so expensive? I went from Budapest to Zvolen, in Slovakia for just 7€ or 8€. 🤔
It was just how much it cost for that time.... maybe prices have come down to encourage folk to travel more again?
I used Flixbus in Serbia as well. It was fast, the driver was very friendly, but the toilet of bus was not clean and it smelled bad. The passangers of bus consisted of teenages, perhaps that's why it was so.
Wow, that's interesting. My bus didn't have a toilet! 🤭
