A paradise for budget travelers: which city in Europe offers free use of buses, trains and boats
Tourists who prefer outdoor activities, exploring new cities and cultural centers often spend a lot of money on public transportation. However, this is not necessary if you take care of choosing a destination in advance, where the authorities are willing to meet the needs of frugal foreigners.
Travelers who value not only sightseeing but also an economical vacation can pay attention to Geneva, Switzerland. Express writes about how to get such a profitable opportunity.
The city offers tourists free access to an extensive public transportation network, which makes traveling as comfortable and economical as possible.
How it works:
- Stay in approved accommodation that is registered with the Geneva Tourism and Convention Authority.
- Contact the property owner to get a form for a free transportation card.
- Fill out the form 3 days before your arrival in Geneva.
- Receive a digital version of the card as soon as you complete the form.
You can use the card on buses, trams, trains, and manuet boats on Lake Geneva.
It's a great opportunity to explore one of the most popular and expensive cities in Europe without spending a fortune to get from one part of Geneva to another.
For example, believers can soak up the atmosphere of the majestic St. Peter's Cathedral, and socially savvy tourists can experience the grandeur of the Palais des Nations, the former headquarters of the League of Nations. Vacations on the different shores of the lake will also bring unforgettable memories.
