FREDERICIA – DENMARK
25/1/26 A short post here, for a little town I had a short break in! My route was taking my from Gothenburg all the way down to Vienna in one hit – the journey, however, was to be broken up into a number of different train trips: Gothenburg to Copenhagen; Copenhagen to Fredericia; Fredericia to…

GOTHENBURG – SWEDEN
23/1/26 – 25/1/26 I left Oslo at 10:15am, on a VR train bound for Gothenburg. As Sweden’s second city, and its major university centre, I was excited to see what kind of atmosphere it would have. The train ride took under 3 hours – the trains up in this part of the world are undeterred…

OSLO – NORWAY
21/1/26 – 23/1/26 It took a rather long time for me to reach Oslo, the capital of Norway – but after a short morning out in Manchester pre-flight, I was good to go. My SAS flight landed at Gardermoen Airport at a touch before 4pm – which, with January’s sunrise and sunset times, meant that…

TIRANA – ALBANIA
18/12/24 – 20/12/24 By the time we landed in Tirana, after our long travel day, it was already close to midnight! Luckily, we were off the plane quickly, and Albania’s e-Gate system made for fast passage through passport control – our next step was to find the Luna bus, which operates between the airport and…

MOSTAR – BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA
17/12/24 Whilst we had originally intended to catch the train from Sarajevo to Mostar, some awful flooding a month earlier put paid to that – we made our way instead to the bus station next door! Balkan buses are the region’s primary mode of intercity transportation – they have some quirks, however, which one has…

SARAJEVO – BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA
14/12/24 – 18/12/24 The flight from Belgrade to Sarajevo was short and painless (unlike the chaos of the return journey, which I’ll get to later!). Sarajevo Airport isn’t too far away from the city, and there are apparently two bus routes – one which is a private bus from the airport to the city, and…

NOVI SAD – SERBIA
12/12/24 We had decided before arriving in Serbia to take a day trip to Novi Sad, Serbia’s second-largest city, and capital of the autonomous Vojvodina region. After departing from Belgrade’s brand-new (and unfinished) railway station, on the fast, comfortable, double-deck SOKO train, we found ourselves quickly trundling through the Serbian countryside en-route to Novi Sad.…
