Bus trips abroad offer the opportunity to discover new, fascinating places at a low price. If we use night connections, we can save on accommodation and have up to 2 days for sightseeing. For people who want to travel around Europe on a budget, cheap bus connections are a perfect solution. Weekend bus trips series, where we will describe the most convenient international bus connections. To begin with, we choose the capital of Poland, Warsaw, as our base. We assume that we have a free weekend (Saturday, Sunday), so we will choose our connections to be able to see as much as possible during our short stay. In these series, we will post practical tips on how to find cheap bus connections, accommodation and what interesting things to see in nearby places.
Bus tickets to Lithuania
The fastest way to get from Warsaw to our northern neighbors is by bus. There are many buses from Warsaw to Lithuania during the day, but we are interested in night connections. Last week we started in the beautiful town of Kaunas, and you can read it at the link. And since we are still talking about Lithuania, we cannot miss its capital – Vilnius, where there are many Polish accents. After entering bilety.pl into the search engine, we have a great connection at a promotional price:
- 21:00 From the Western Railway Station in Warsaw – arrival in Vilnius at 6:10 – ticket price: PLN 106 – Eurobus/Biacomex carrier*
Return from Vilnius to Warsaw
We assume that we have to be in Warsaw on Monday morning. On Sunday evening we have a promotional ticket from Vilnius again:
- Departure 21:00 from Vilnius – arrival 4:15 – ticket price: PLN 106 – Eurobus/Biacomex carrier
This is the cheapest offer among all carriers on the market. PLN 212 for a round-trip ticket. We will spend two full days in the capital of Lithuania.
Accommodation
For one night in Vilnius, we choose the highly rated Comfort Hotel LT Rock’n’Roll Vilnius, priced at just over PLN 90 per person. Breakfast is included in the price. The facility is located very close to both the bus station and the old town, so it is worth paying attention to.
What to see in Vilnius?
