Young and independent travellers looking for an alternative way to travel around Europe should check-out the Busabout Hop-on Hop-off network that covers 33 destinations in 9 European countries from the funky city of Amsterdam to the southern cities of Rome and Valencia, and loads in between.
Offering a flexible way to see the delights of Europe without bursting the budget Busabout Hop-on Hop-off allows travel from any city in the network at any pace. Travellers can stay as long as they like at each stop and once they have finished exploring can move onto the next destination, with coaches departing each city every two days during the season from May to October.
There are three passes available:
Flexitrip – offering the ultimate flexibility, this pass lets you just choose where you want to go and buy the number of corresponding flexistops to complete the trip. A flexistop is equal to one day onboard the coach. This pass is ideal for those that only have a rough travel plan as you can buy extra flexistops along the way. Price is from £349 per person (students from £335) based on travel to 6 destinations.
Loops – these passes let you focus on one region of Europe or cover the entire network. The route map has been decided into 3 sectors, each of which can be done on its own or combined for a fantastic adventure. Price is from £399per person (students from £385) based on travel up to 13 destinations depending on route.
One Ways – these are ‘off the shelf’ passes which cover popular routes such as the ‘Go West’, ‘Go Roman’ or ‘Sunseeker’ – travellers can take as long as they like doing the routes and don’t have to stop off at cities they have already been to. Price is from £479 per person (students from £454) based on travel to between12 and 20 destinations, depending on route.
Busabout’s network is a unique mix of independence and support where travellers can explore Europe at their own pace, but within the safety of the network which includes well-equipped coaches, guides on every coach and a ‘hostel to hostel’ service that drops travellers as close as possible to selected hostels, meaning they don’t have to lug their rucksacks across town.
Busabout also features nine Adventure tours including the Ibiza Island Hopper, Croatia Sailing and Morocco; seven of Europe’s most amazing Festivals including Pamplona, La Tomantina and Oktoberfest and nine Eastern European Treks – many of which can be combined with Busabout Hop-on Hop-off.
