Lignano Sabbiadoro, on the northern Adriatic between Venice and Trieste, is known for its long sandy beaches, which makes it popular with families and children's groups. From Poprad it is about 893 km, which the coach covers in about 13 h. The driving time is above the daily limit for one driver, so two drivers travel and share the work.
Over the Alps into Friuli
The coach usually crosses western Slovakia and Austria, passing through the eastern Alps before descending into the Friuli region of north-east Italy and on to the coast. The exact route can change with traffic and roadworks, and the drivers choose on the day. All the countries on the way are in Schengen, so there is no routine passport control, but every passenger must have an ID card or passport. The coach pays the electronic tolls in each country, so the group has nothing to buy at the border.
Two drivers, two breaks and a sensible schedule
The trip includes two 45-minute breaks, taken after each four and a half hours of driving. With two drivers on board, they swap at the breaks and the coach can do the whole journey in one go. Groups often leave Poprad late in the evening and arrive in Lignano in the late morning, ready for the beach after hotel check-in. Daytime travel is possible too, with the Alps as scenery, but it uses up a full day of the holiday.
Lignano is booked by summer camps, school groups at the end of the school year, sports clubs and family groups. Suitcases up to 30 kg each, beach gear and bikes all go in the hold.
