Bus tours to the Czech Republic favorably differ from similar tours to other countries primarily due to their relatively low cost. This is due to the proximity of the Czech Republic to Russia (compared to other popular destinations), as well as the fact that the prices in this country are much lower than in the same Germany and France (and, let's face it, Russia too.) ±$ The
Routes
However, Czech bus tours are not usually purely "national." Russia and the Czech Republic have no common borders, so the trip is usually carried out either through Belarus (Brest or Minsk), and then - through Poland; either through Ukraine (Lviv) and Hungary .Both Polish and Hungarian cities are invariably included in the program .For the same reason, no one tour is exclusively bus - the program always includes either a train, or - in rarer tours through Scandinavia - ferry .And if the ferry tickets are usually included in the total cost of the tour, then the railway tickets are paid separately, and this, depending on the season and place (coupe or reserved seat), from 80 to 180 EUR .
Duration and cost of
Tours to the Czech Republic, among other things, are also on average shorter than tours in other popular destinations. So, for 9 days without night moving you will have time to visit Prague, Vienna, Karlovy Vary, Dresden and Warsaw for 270 EUR per person.
It should be remembered that about 40% of excursions and events are not included in the price - that is, if you do not pay a trip to, say, Karlovy Vary (usually about 40 EUR per person), then you will have free time in Prague. You can spend it on walking around the city and hiking in museums, or you can - to study local catering establishments that will please the tourist both with variety and quality of cuisine, and with democratic prices.
Bus + air
Stand out are bus tours with air travel. As a rule, this is an airplane to Prague, then a 7-8 day bus excursion program for the Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary and a return flight from Budapest. It is worth such a tour usually as much as a tour with a railway crossing, but it avoids most of the tiresome, many-hour trips on the bus.
