Ostrava draws groups from northern Slovakia for several reasons. In summer the Colours of Ostrava music festival takes place in the former ironworks area of Dolní Vítkovice, and travelling there together by coach saves a group the hassle of parking and night driving. Sports clubs travel to matches and tournaments, companies visit partners and plants in the region, and school groups come for the industrial heritage.
West through Liptov and into Czechia
From Poprad the coach heads west through the Liptov region towards Žilina, then turns north to the Czech border and on into Moravian-Silesian Ostrava. Slovakia and Czechia are both in Schengen, so there is no routine border check, but every passenger must carry an ID card or passport. Tolls in both countries are paid electronically by the coach. At about 3 h 35 min, the trip stays under the 4.5 hours a driver may drive without stopping, so there is no mandatory break.
Festival and event trips
- Drop-off and pick-up at the venue: the coach brings the group to the festival or stadium and collects it at the agreed time.
- Multi-day events: the coach can take you there and come back for you on the last day, quoted in one enquiry.
- Same-day return: about seven hours' driving in total fits one driver's daily limit; for a late finish, plan the driver's rest with us.
- Luggage: tents, sleeping bags and suitcases up to 30 kg each travel in the hold.
One coach seats 49 to 53 passengers, and bigger groups get several coaches. This is private coach hire for your group, not a scheduled bus with single tickets.
