Advantages
Comfortable seatsDisadvantages
Lack of wifiOn the bus journey from Barcelona to Valencia, I really liked the comfort of the seats. However, the cleanliness was not the best, which I can attest to from my own experience. The journey time was ok, but the lack of wifi made the journey time more boring. The price-performance ratio was good, although I would have expected more. Nevertheless, I was satisfied with the trip
Advantages
Comfortable and cleanEverything uncomplicatedFair faresDisadvantages
DelayThe journey with FlixBus from Barcelona to Valencia was very pleasant and smooth overall. The bus was well equipped with comfortable seats, cleanliness and free wifi, which made the 4-hour journey much more pleasant. There was no toilet even on the bus, but this was compensated for by two breaks on the route at a place with a toilet.
The route took us through picturesque landscapes, which made the time fly by. The prices for the tickets were also fair, especially if you book in advance.
One minor drawback was the occasional delay, which can happen from time to time with FlixBus. Nevertheless, the arrival at the bus station in Valencia was well organised and the transfer to public transport went smoothly.
Overall, it's a solid choice.
Advantages
ViewSurroundingsPriceJourney timeDisadvantages
Frequency of the routeI can definitely recommend anyone who is travelling to Spain, or more specifically Barcelona, for a longer period of time to take the FlixBus 356 from Barcelona to Valencia. With the right connection you only have a shorter journey time of around 3 hours and for the price it's really worth enjoying every minute of the journey. You drive along the motorway directly along the coast to the Balearic Sea and can enjoy the view. The bus itself doesn't make any stops, but we were able to use the on-board WC and there were also charging facilities for our devices and a functioning on-board wifi. Valencia itself is also a beautiful city that is not so well known and is highly recommended as a holiday destination.
