What is Rome2rio?
Rome2rio is a multimodal transport search engine that shows you all the ways to get from point A to point B - by plane, train, bus, car, ferry, or a combination of them.
Why I use it
When I'm planning a trip and don't know if it's better to fly, take a train or a bus, Rome2rio is the first thing I open. I enter the origin and destination and within a few seconds, I see all the options sorted by price and time.
How it works
- Enter your origin and destination
- Rome2rio searches hundreds of transport providers worldwide
- It displays all variants - from the cheapest to the fastest
- For each variant, you see an estimated price, travel time, and number of transfers
- By clicking, you go directly to the carrier's website to book
Who is it ideal for
- Backpackers - find the cheapest transport combination
- European travellers - compare trains, buses, and low-cost flights
- Road trip planners - estimate driving time and fuel costs
- Anyone who wants to save money - you'll often find an option you wouldn't have known about otherwise
Tips for using it
- Combine with Kiwi.com for the best flight prices
- Use Rome2rio for research and then book directly with the carrier
- Check timetables directly on the carrier's website - Rome2rio may not have 100% up-to-date data
My verdict
Rome2rio is the first thing I open when I'm planning a trip and don't know whether to fly, take a train or a bus. No other app will show you so many options in one place. I consider the prices to be indicative, but as a planning tool, it's absolutely number one.
