Bus Travel is often cheaper and faster than trains in Central Europe. Bus travel is the most efficient point-to-point travel mode across much of Central Europe. Bus travel is often more comfortable, cheaper and hours quicker than trains for many of the trips I have taken in the past two years in Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic.
Polskibus transported me from Prague to Wroclaw, Poland in 4. Polskibus is like the WOW Air of bus service in the region. Prices are cheap, but there are few amenities on the bus, compared to other bus lines I have used for travel in Czech Republic and Poland like Student Agency and Ecolines. All the bus trips I have made in the region were double decker buses.
Polskibus was the lowest ticket price for my trip with the best schedule allowing me to spend half-day in Prague and leave at in the afternoon for the 4. This was my first time riding Polskibus. The seat was comfortable, the bus uncrowded and I actually secured the upper deck front row two seats on one side for myself.
The bus departed Prague on time and arrived in Wroclaw within a couple of minutes of schedule at on a Saturday night. Student Agency and Ecolines bus trips I have made offered seat back on demand video with a selection of movies, music and games. They also had a bus attendant for ordering food and drink on board. Polskibus was a one person operation with the driver handling check-in and the drive and no onboard services.
Radisson Blu Wroclaw on 2-for-1 elite weekend rate. My school teacher wife had a student with a Polish mother last year. I will be visiting Warsaw and Gdansk in March , so this seemed like a good opportunity to visit Wroclaw on my way to Krakow from Prague. Unfortunately, the Gold elite 2-for-1 and 4-for-2 weekend rates were discontinued by Club Carlson last week, after many years of availability.
