Das Reisen in Europa mit Umstiegen kann nicht nur kostengünstig, sondern auch aufregend sein, wenn man alles sorgfältig plant. Das Wichtigste ist, die richtige Route zu wählen und zu wissen, wo man Tickets sicher und bequem kaufen kann. Erfahren Sie mehr darüber, wie Sie eine komfortable und stressfreie Reise mit Umstiegen organisieren können.
Travelling in Europe often involves transfers — this is normal and even convenient if you know how to plan everything properly. Many travellers are afraid of missing their next flight, getting lost in train or bus stations, or spending extra money due to a poor choice of route.
Below, we explain how to organise a trip with transfers comfortably and without stress.
Travelling with transfers: how to choose the best route?
Combined routes are popular in Europe: bus + train, train + bus or plane + ground transport. This format often saves time and money, as well as allowing you to discover more cities.
Important to consider:
– Time between connections. Always allow for at least 1.5–2 hours, especially if you are unfamiliar with local stations or airports.
– Locations of stations or bus stops. Make sure that the transfer takes place within the same transport hub or that there is a convenient transfer between them.
– Possibility of additional transfers. Some carriers offer combined tickets where everything is already planned out.

Booking tickets with transfers: where to buy tickets?
Travellers are always concerned about where to buy train tickets in Europe, as well as tickets for other modes of transport, such as buses and planes.
Online services are the best option for modern travellers. They save time, allow you to quickly compare prices, pay for tickets immediately and receive them by email.
In particular, it is worth paying attention to the ticket booking system through Visit Ukraine. The portal offers verified routes, convenient search for different destinations and support in Ukrainian, which is very important for those who do not want to take unnecessary risks.
What to consider when changing trains?
The most important thing is to allow enough time between flights. It is better to have some extra time and enjoy a cup of coffee than to rush with your suitcase and risk being late. Always check the carrier's rules: do they allow ticket returns or exchanges in case of delays or unforeseen circumstances? It is advisable to choose tickets with flexible conditions so that you can easily change the date or get a refund if necessary. Remember, the more you consider in advance, the more relaxed you will feel during the trip itself.
Useful tips for travellers with transfers
– Plan with your comfort in mind. If you are travelling with a large suitcase, children or pets, choose routes with a minimum number of transfers and comfortable waiting rooms.
– Book your tickets in advance. This will allow you to choose the best prices and seats.
– Don't miss out on savings. Complex routes (e.g. train + bus) can often be cheaper than a direct flight, especially if you book several months in advance.
Planning a trip?
Transfers are not a problem if you have a clear plan. Modern online services help you save time and nerves, and most importantly, make your travels enjoyable and safe.
One of the most convenient options for Ukrainian travellers is the Visit Ukraine portal, where you can find verified routes, get support and easily book even complex ticket combinations.
Reminder! One of the key functions of customs authorities is to control the movement of goods and personal belongings across the border. To avoid unpleasant situations and confiscation when crossing the Ukrainian border, it is important to be aware of and comply with customs regulations. What exactly can be imported or exported to/from Ukraine, and which goods are subject to prohibitions or restrictions — read here.
