The countries of the Old World have long been a tasty morsel for tourists from all over the world. Each European power is good in its own way, has its own iconic places, world-famous sights and resorts. Among them there are also leaders in the number of guests crossing the borders to get acquainted with traditions and customs, immersion in history and culture, for recreation and entertainment.
Spain, France, Germany occupy the top lines of the ratings in such a business as tourism in Europe, but the rest of the countries of this part of the world are not standing still, they are actively exploring resort areas, expanding the hotel chain, and developing excursion programs.
Many companies, relying on the people's passion for travel and the desire to save money, offer bus tours that include visits to certain states that are parties to the so-called Schengen agreement. Such a trip allows you to see many beautiful places, monuments and attractions in a short time and at a minimum cost.
Ready for the trip
A tourist who chooses such a method of rest must provide for several points that determine the quality of this rest:
- a list of countries and attractions included in the travel itinerary for European countries;
- the bus on which the tour is planned should provide maximum comfort, since a third of the travel time will be on the road;
- the presence and number of night crossings.
Route selection
A novice traveler, who has hardly seen anything yet, should pay attention to the routes that cover the most famous countries in terms of tourism - France, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic. For experienced tourists who have seen a lot, new "untwisted" cities, the most beautiful, little-known corners of Mother Europe, will be a discovery.
Hotels and service
When choosing such a tour, the traveler should be prepared for the fact that some nights will have to be spent on the bus in order to save time and money. Possible overnight stays will be in relatively inexpensive hotels, moreover, located on the outskirts of the city - this is economically beneficial for tourists and more convenient for drivers, since parking in the center is paid.

The main direction: through Poland to Germany and further to France, from where it is close to Spain or Italy. The second popular route is Poland, Germany, Austria, Hungary.
