By Estefanía Ojea

It's not normally the kind of journey that I would want to make by bus, but the reason that I once had to travel from Barcelona to Berlin in this way was that I had far too much luggage.
I was returning to Berlin, where I had previously lived, and flying with luggage was becoming very expensive, so the cheapest option that I could find was to travel by bus, even though I knew that it would be a very long journey through Europe.

Street in Berlin Kreuzberg
The distance between the two cities is approximately 1,500 kilometers and passes through various countries in Europe.
There are long-distance bus companies like FlixBus that operate between the two cities with one or two stops in between. The total travel time can take more than 24 hours, which means one needs to be patient enough to travel between the two cities.
I took the bus at Barcelona Nord Bus Station, fully understanding that this would be a long trip. Once the bus left the city and started on the highway, the trip began to transition into the type of trip where hours start to run together.
There were several stops on the way as we traveled through different regions and countries. People were getting on and off the bus in different cities while we were continuing on our way north towards Germany.
As it is a long trip, you quickly fall into a pattern of listening to music, trying to sleep, looking at the scenery outside the window, and waiting for the next stop.
The journey started at Barcelona Nord, which is one of the major bus stations for long-distance bus travel in the area.
This bus station is also well connected with the rest of Barcelona via the metro system or local buses, and it is used by many international bus companies traveling throughout Europe.
After traveling for many hours, the bus finally arrived at Berlin ZOB, which is the main bus station in Berlin for long-distance bus travel.
From there, it is relatively easy to get into the center of Berlin using local transport. The U-Bahnhof Kaiserdamm, which is only a short walk away, has a direct U2 line running right through the center of Berlin.
Buses between Barcelona and Berlin do not run as frequently as shorter European routes.
Most journeys include at least one connection, and travel times can vary depending on the route and stops.
Long-distance international buses are equipped with reclining seats, storage space on top of the bus, and storage compartments at the bottom of the bus.
However, despite all this, traveling on a bus for more than twenty hours is bound to get tiring. It is doable if one is prepared to get tired, but it is not comfortable by any means.
The main reason I chose the bus for this particular trip was the cost. When traveling with multiple bags, the luggage fees associated with an airplane ride can quickly add up. In this case, however, the bus ticket ended up being the cheapest. Here’s roughly what my trip looked like:
| Item | Cost (eur) |
|---|---|
| Ticket price | €70 |
| Food & drinks | €20 |
| Travel to departure station | €3 |
| Travel from arrival station | €3 |
| Total | € 96 |
Traveling by bus from Barcelona to Berlin is not exactly the fastest way to travel through Europe. For my case, it is just the most convenient way to travel while carrying my bags.
Traveling by bus is a journey that requires patience, but it is indeed a way to get to Germany from southern Europe without having to spend extra on baggage fees when traveling by plane.
Buses from Barcelona to Berlin run on average 47 times per day, taking around 30h 31m. Cheap bus tickets for this journey start at $42 but you can travel from only $29 by flight.
The earliest bus runs at 00:10, the last at 23:55. The fastest bus covers the 932 miles (1500 km) distance in 2h 15m.

Moderate for Europe: hostels and budget eats are reasonable, but hotels in central areas can be pricey. Transit is good value for visitors.
Round up or tip about 5-10% in restaurants for good service. Round up in cafes and taxis; tip is appreciated but not mandatory.
