Barcelona to Berlin by busBarcelona to Berlin by Bus: A Long Ride Across Europe

By Estefanía Ojea

Estefanía OjeaContent Editor and Travel Writer
Estefanía Ojea
Estefanía Ojea is a content editor and travel writer who has been working in digital writing since 2011 and focusing on travel content since 2020. Based in Galicia, Spain, she enjoys exploring cities slowly and seeking out unusual places such as historic cemeteries, curious churches, and the occasional slightly macabre landmark. She is particularly fond of train travel as a way to discover new destinations across Europe.

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

Street in Berlin Kreuzberg

Route overview

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.

Transportation experience

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.

Departure station

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.

Arrival station

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.

Schedule & frequency

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.

Onboard experience & services

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.

Ticketing advice & budget breakdown

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:

ItemCost (eur)
Ticket price€70
Food & drinks€20
Travel to departure station€3
Travel from arrival station€3
Total€ 96

Top tips & recommendations

  • If you are carrying several bags, taking the bus may prove to be more economical than flying.
  • Carry some snacks, water, and entertainment for this long journey.
  • Wear comfortable clothing for the journey, as this will make a huge difference.
  • Try to sleep during the nights.
  • Break your journey at some other place if you prefer shorter routes.

Conclusion

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.

Staying alert in nightlife districts can help prevent theft and other safety issues.
