The journey itself was very pleasant. Unfortunately, the wifi was a little unstable, even though the sockets on the Flixbus were easy to reach. The comfort of the seats was very positive. The cleanliness was also better than expected. The price-performance ratio was very good. All in all, a very good journey.
