Buses in the Balkans – where delays are the norm and the journey is an adventure

Buses in the Balkans aren’t just a means of transport. They’re a test of patience, a masterclass in improvisation, and a humbling experience all at once. Where to buy tickets, how to survive multi-hour delays, and how not to fall for hidden fees? I’ve tested it all myself, so you don’t have to learn the hard way. If a Balkan adventure without a car sounds like your thing, this guide will help. And if you’re traveling with a suitcase full of expectations… better pack a power bank and a bottle of water instead.
