Rome2Rio
Cross-country routing combining flights, trains, buses, and ferries.
What Rome2Rio is
Rome2Rio is a multimodal trip-planning tool that shows how to get from almost any place to any other by combining flights, trains, buses, ferries, and driving. Travelers use it early in planning to understand which routes exist, roughly how long each takes, and what it might cost before booking through operators.
What it does for travelers
- ✓Door-to-door routing across multiple transport modes in one search
- ✓Estimated journey times and indicative prices for each option
- ✓Coverage of obscure routes, including ferries and regional buses, that single-mode apps miss
- ✓Links onward to operators and booking sites for many segments
- ✓Useful for comparing whether to fly, take the train, or drive between cities
Good to know
- Prices and times shown are estimates for planning; confirm exact fares and schedules with the actual operator
- An internet connection is needed to run searches; it is primarily a planning tool, not an offline navigator
- Core search works without an account, though it may suggest booking partners
- It does not always reflect last-minute schedule changes, strikes, or seasonal service gaps
Tips from the road
- Use it to scope out options first, then book directly with the rail, bus, or ferry operator for the best price and live times
- Watch for routes that look convenient on the map but involve long connection waits in practice
- Cross-check ferry and seasonal bus routes against the operator, as these change with the season
- Treat the cost figures as a rough comparison between modes rather than a final quote
When to reach for it
Reach for Rome2Rio when you are figuring out how to connect two places and want every transport mode compared at once, before drilling into a specific booking app.

Does Rome2Rio work offline?
