Just realized overnight buses beat hostels for my last Lisbon trip
I took a 9 PM bus from Lisbon to Porto for 12 euros and slept through the whole ride, then showed up at 7 AM with a full day ahead instead of wasting daylight on check-in. Compare that to the 25 euro hostel bed where I got zero sleep because of snorers and a squeaky bunk. Has anyone else swapped a night in a dorm for a night bus to stretch their budget and sightseeing time?
Man, night buses saved my whole trip through Eastern Europe back in 2019. I did Budapest to Krakow for like 15 bucks and woke up right in the city center, no taxi needed. Beats paying for a bed you barely use anyway.
