Wow, Interlaken is cool!
2 FebWhen I studied abroad in 2010, one of the last places I thought I would ever go would be Interlaken, Switzerland
. First of all, I had never heard of Interlaken, and second, it seemed like there were so many more obvious places to go like the Amalfi Coast, Greece, Paris, Prague and Barcelona to just name a few. I wanted to see as much as I could while I was here, but honestly Interlaken was just not on my radar.
A bunch of my friends were doing the Bus2alps Interlaken trip, and last minute I decided to join them…it was probably the coolest decision I ever made. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Florence, but Interlaken has a feel that I don’t think you can get anywhere else in Europe. I haven’t been anywhere else where you can jump 300 feet into a canyon, go night sledding in the Swiss Alps, and see some of the most naturally beautiful scenery all in one weekend. Being a study abroad veteran, as well as an experienced traveler in Europe, I can say confidently that not making it to Interlaken during your semester abroad is a mistake.
For Bus2alps, traveling to Interlaken on the weekends is like going home. After all, we are Bus 2 ALPS, and our headquarters are located right in the town of Interlaken. Outdoor Interlaken is our sister company and all Bus2alps travelers get a discount on adventure activities.
From skiing and snowboarding, to extreme sledding if you are like me, Interlaken has everything. There is the best sky diving in the world, as well as canyon jumping (one of two places in the world to do this), night sledding, chocolate tasting, paragliding, ice skating…there are so many activities to do that it is difficult to choose exactly how to spend your weekend. …Not the worst problem to have.
Don’t make the mistake that I almost made, and miss out on this paradise on earth. Waking up in the Swiss Alps is something that everyone should experience, and you guys are so close, it’s time to book your trip with Bus2alps February 15, 22 and March 1. I can’t wait to see you there!

BUS2ALPS WELCOMES STUDENTS WITH A BANG
21 JanBus2alps has kicked off the semester in Europe with a bang. Every night of the week Bus2alps has been out on the town, meeting and greeting all the newcomers and building hype for what’s set to be the biggest semester yet!
The first few weeks of the study abroad experience can be overwhelming to say the least! Housing situations, uncooperative landlords and information overload, all combined with frustrating language barriers. It can all get too much for students, so what better to relax than to head out for a night on the town. Throughout Rome, Florence and Barcelona, Bus2alps has been organizing activities galore to help students relax, meet new friends and get settled into their surroundings. Our nights out have been a massive success and look forward to meeting everyone else who is touching down soon.
FLORENCE NEWS
The city of Florence sleeps during winter, but come January the town morphs into life as thousands of students arrive. Bus2alps was in Florence ready and waiting to welcome the students and wasted no time in getting the party started. The first pub crawl of the semester was a staggering success with over one hundred students getting together for a sensational night. Bus2alps teamed up with the boys at Florence Tonight Nightlife and took students on a tour of Florence’s best bars and clubs. Throughout the course of the night we gave away prizes to numerous party goers. The two luckiest kids won Bus2alps two signature spring break trips: Spring Break Greece and The Northern Loop (Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris). They certainly weren’t expecting to walk away with free spring break vacations either. “I can’t believe I won”, yelled a stoked Ryan of Kent State. “I never win anything…This is friggin awesome”.
The culinary delights of food and wine are a big reason many people come to Italy. With this in mind, Bus2alps teamed up with Il Gatto e la Volpe to offer students a giant family style dinner. Over the course of the night “Fat John” and his waiters brought out tray after tray of mouth watering antipasti and delicious pastas. The wine flowed like water and soon enough the party continued next door to the adjoining bar. Sophie Villani was the lucky one of the night, winning herself a free trip to Interlaken this coming weekend. There’s always free trips on offer at Bus2alps events.
If you are in Florence and missed out on the pub crawl or welcome dinner, don’t despair as we’ll be running everything again in the coming weeks.
The next pub crawl will be Saturday 23rd January. Meet at 8.00pm for an 8.30pm start, or 9.00pm for a 9.30pm start on the steps of the Duomo.
The next welcome dinner will Wednesday February 3rd. Come down to Il Gatto e la Volpe inbetween 8.15pm and 9.00pm to be seated.
ROME NEWS
Meanwhile in Rome things have also been popping as the students continue to roll into Bus2alps town. Bus2alps crew members Amanda and Dylan have been out on the town, partying with students in Campo de Fiori at all the big student bars. The Scholar’s Lounge in continually packed with everyone watching sports and the Colosseum Pub Crawl was a night to remember. Bus2alps have also struck up a special deal with the Colosseum Pub Crawl where our travellers get a better deal. Hit up Amanda@bus2alps.com for more info.
BARCELONA NEWS
Joey and Matty have Barcelona on lockdown and have been regulars on the Tapas/NFL/Clubbing circuits. The weather may not have been kind to the students but spirits are high and everyone is settling into the Spanish way of life… “Manana…manana”. In the coming weeks Bus2alps will launch a football night and get the Bus2alps Bike Tour started. Free trips and prizes will be awarded at these events so stay tuned to make sure you don’t miss out.
