To wander Paris from end to end, making the obligatory stop in the Latin Quarter or having a coffee in Les deux moulins. Or dress up in winter clothes and visit the small villages scattered along the Alps. Both destinations, far from seeming a mockery, can be conquered “a few hours from Seville” by bus from Seville.
And those who refuse to get on a plane will surely be able to avoid the three or four hours that, in general, most European destinations involve aboard an aircraft.
In this case, time is a disadvantage for those who cannot muster so many days of leisure. Otherwise, it is a unique alternative at least, and in some cases, even low cost.
Paris, Hamburg or Rome
Travel to London? Even the English Channel is no problem. A techno party in Berlin? A mere 58 hours are to blame for the fact that you’re not enjoying it – that and a mere €115 spent one way. Direct trip to Paris? A coffee in front of the Eiffel Tower for about €100, bought without time and in 38 hours.
While this article may seem like a eulogy to Flixbus, it’s really more of a eulogy to the European road system or the infinite field of possibilities that a bus trip offers.
Namely, the longest journey that can be made by bus (in the world) corresponds to the route Lima – Rio de Janeiro, which covers 6,200 kilometers, runs through four countries and takes about a hundred hours.
From Seville, the farthest destination you can reach by bus is Tallinn, the Estonian capital, in exchange for a presumably tedious 96 hours.
Although it is not the only place you can spend hours from Seville by bus. Amsterdam takes 47 hours and the not inconsiderable amount of 200 € and 3 transfers, Rome (63 hours) or Hamburg (55 hours).
Direct bus destinations from Seville: Lisbon for 22 €.
In fact, Seville also offers some bus routes to destinations with direct connection by Alsa that will be a delight for the aerophobic or aerophobic and are as follows:
- Alicante (9 hours)
- Almeria (5 hours)
- Faro (3 hours), one of the most seductive routes from 11 €.
- Granada (3 hours)
- Valencia (11 hours)
- Lisbon (7 hours) from 22 € each way.
- Malaga (less than 3 hours)
- Mojacar (8 hours)
- Murcia (7 hours)
- Salamanca (6 hours)
- Santiago de Compostela (14 hours)
- Tavira (2 hours and a half)
