Danger of traffic jamsAs expected, the journey with FlixBus from Bremen to Groningen in the Netherlands was fantastic. On the one hand, as always, the excellent individual features of the bus, such as the free wifi or the on-board toilet, which can be used during the journey, were impressive. On the other hand, the price of the ticket, the surprisingly short journey time and the great route environment made an extremely good impression.
I can only recommend this trip to anyone for a weekend in a neighbouring country.

Lots of slow-moving trafficSeats a little dirtyThe journey with Flixbus from Bremen to Groningen was very nice overall, especially because of the favourable prices at Flixbus. The seats were very soft and comfortable. There was some slow-moving traffic, but the good wifi made up for that. It was also very nice to see so many parts of Germany and Holland. Highly recommended!

No weakness on this journeyThe bus journey from Bremen to Groningen in the Netherlands was really an excellent bus journey. For very little money, we arrived at our destination within 3 hours and were able to observe the beautiful landscape of northern Germany and the Netherlands during the journey. The interior of the bus was also excellent as usual and the low passenger density and the friendly bus driver created an extremely relaxed travelling atmosphere

UtilisationI booked the bus for a day trip. The bus was on time at the agreed location. The sockets worked well and quickly, and the wifi also worked without any problems. The bus reached Groningen on time, the only negative thing was that it was a little too full.
