Tips for long-distance travel

To keep your trip comfortable, we recommend bringing a bottle of water and light snacks. Always choose comfortable clothing and don’t forget small comfort items like a neck pillow or a sleep mask.

Crossing the Hungarian border is an important stage of the journey, so it’s best to prepare all necessary documents in advance, including a passport and visa (if required). The bus passes customs quickly, but it’s still important to be ready for inspection.
