Ferry to Saaremaa, Estonia. Travel to the island of Saaremaa. Saaremaa Island or the most Estonian Estonia Brief information about Saaremaa

Saaremaa island and the main attractions of Kuressaare. Bishop's Castle, Powder Tower and others interesting places cities. How to get to Kuressaare from Tallinn and what to see in this place. My story about a trip to the island of Saaremaa.

I love the North. Places like the island of Saaremaa always have their own indescribable charm and their own special magic. It manifests itself in the sound of the waves of the cold sea, in the quiet whisper pine forests and in the sights of huge stones that are found here and there along the road. You look at them and imagine that this is a giant troll, frozen under the light of the amber sun. Remember in the movie "Bridge to Terrabitia"? Our imagination can sometimes work wonders. And it is in such places that fairy tales about elves and giants become a little more real.

Yes, I understand, I’m already 27. But at heart I’m still a teenager, so get ready – this article will be pure vanilla. In the end, this is my blog - I write what I want. Well, as for the island of Saaremaa, it is truly a very unusual and fascinating place. When I was just applying for an Estonian visa, one day they called me from the embassy to clarify my route. I told the center employee that I was going to Tallinn, Tartu and Kuressaare. She listened to me quietly. But as soon as she heard the name of the main city of the island of Saaremaa, she suddenly perked up.

— Are you going to Kuressaare for half a day? – she asked in surprise. “But this is such a wonderful, wonderful place.” Just look at everything very briefly. I would like to come there for at least a couple of days.

And she then repeated these words in other variations two or three more times. I laughed it off and said, “Give me a longer visa, and I’ll come see you some other time.” But somehow she didn’t particularly appreciate my humor. Take my word for it: she was almost indignant at the thought that I was only going to Kuressaare for 5 or 6 hours. Then Tanya and I even laughed that she herself was probably from the island of Saaremaa. And that is why my travel plan so hurt her feelings towards her small homeland.

Okay... Why am I saying all this? Besides, that embassy employee was right, in fact. I was somehow touched by this place from the first chords. Bathed in the rays of the amber sun, the island of Saaremaa seemed to me like a fragment of a parallel universe. I squinted from the sun, shivered from the cold wind, rolled on the ice, thinking that I was about to find myself waist-deep in water... But in the end, I was very glad that I still ended up in this place. Let me tell you more about him. Are you ready (the story will be long)? Well then let's go.

What are Saaremaa and Kuressaare (in a nutshell)

Remember the movie Playing God with David Duchovny? So now I will have a film “Imagining Wikipedia”. In short, in a nutshell, the island of Saaremaa is the largest of the 1521 islands of Estonia (yes, yes, I know, I opened my mouth when I found out that Estonia has as many as one and a half thousand islands). However, only 5 percent of the population of this state lives in the island part. Considering that the country’s population is not particularly large, the city of 14 thousand Kuressaare, by local standards, generally looks like a real metropolis.

In the summer, this sleepy one-story town turns into a quiet retirement resort - with numerous spa complexes and a cool sea. As I understand it, this is such a local Druskininkai. Well, or an analogue of the Serbian Palic, where Tanya and I have already been this year.

Moreover, as it was written in one magazine that I read on the way here, the number of rooms in local hotels is almost a third higher than the population of the city itself. In this regard, there is even a special joke on the island: in the summer, due to the abundance of spa centers, this island is often called “SPAaremaa”. But I was in this place in December. And in winter, Kuressaare seemed a completely empty and lifeless city. Yes, I understand, it doesn't sound very good. But at that moment I was even glad about it. From the sight of the empty streets that stretched around, the feeling of the unreality of everything that was happening in me only became stronger.

How to get from Tallinn to Kuressaare (Saaremaa island)

Now get ready to be surprised again: despite the size of Estonia, the most popular transport to the island of Saaremaa is airplane. At least that’s what was written in most guidebooks dedicated to this place. When I was preparing for this trip, I read a lot that there is a good modern airport(which, however, even in peak season, rarely receives more than 80 passengers per day). Flight with " big land» is carried out on compact and small ships (at a price of 40 euros for a round trip ticket). And the travel time takes no more than half an hour.

But at this point I immediately need to make a reservation: I myself did not check this information, and on all the search engines where I tried to find such tickets, they were happily absent. Wikipedia says that only two companies operate flights to this airport - LFH and Avies. But that’s all – with your permission, I’ll leave this moment out of the equation. And instead, I’d rather write about how I went to this island myself.

So... Personally, I got to the island company busesLuxExpress. They run between cities several times a day, so finding the optimal time is easy. Their buses themselves are very good: there is a toilet in the cabin, a free coffee machine, wi-fi and a personal monitor in each seat (with films, music and other joys of life). The standard fare is around 9-16 euros (the earlier you buy, the cheaper). However, during promotions and sales, prices are often reduced to 2 euros.

Another option to cheaply get to the island of Saaremaa is to use company flightsSimpleExpress(coming from Tartu).

Their buses are simpler, but their prices are lower (from 1 euro). Therefore, I would personally advise you to check both options and then choose the most suitable one from the two.

Ferry, sunrise and the endless Baltic Sea

You know what’s most amazing: my first memories of the island of Saaremaa begin not with the island itself, but with a ferry crossing and a huge ship that absorbed trucks, cars and buses, like a huge sea giant.

The photos were taken from the bus window...

We entered the inner deck, and the people who were with me on the bus all began to quickly get out. Succumbing to the herd instinct, I also quickly jumped onto the platform, and, catching some Russian-speaking peasant (who had been watching the LifeNews and Russia 24 channels all the way next to me), asked him where everyone had gone. In short, it turned out that there was a buffet on the ship. That is, while the bus is crossing, you can drink coffee, sip some soup or chew some kind of bun.


To tell you the truth, I would have chewed something in the morning too. But Estonian prices did not leave me much choice. And I decided to just go out on deck. I stepped through the door that led to the open bow of the ship. And at that moment, in a matter of moments, any thoughts about food flew out of my head. Dawn Baltic was magnificent. Leaden clouds stitched with the strokes of dawn, the endless sea covering everything to the very horizon, and tall windmills that froze somewhere ahead... I hope the photographs will be able to convey at least part of all this splendor...



I also photographed the Estonian islands on the other side of the crossing (from the bus windows), as if trying to leave with me forever a bit of this cold northern beauty. I photographed the road, forests, stones near highways, doll houses, frozen in front - but due to the movement, many pictures turned out blurry. Therefore, all that remained for me was to place all my hopes on Kuressaare itself. And finally, after some searching, I finally found what I was looking for here.

Sights of Kuressaare (Estonians say “Kurrreesaarre”)

So... Now about the city itself... Get ready for a small fly in the ointment. I’ve been scattering vanilla epithets here for three pages already, but in fact, I didn’t immediately like Kuressaare. It’s generally difficult to fall in love with this city at first sight. You arrive at the station - and all around wooden houses are standing. I don’t even know how to describe it to you... My friend Mirek, seeing this, said: “Like we have in Sapotskin” (this is a town near Grodno).


In essence, Kuressaare is such a big village. A village, European, of course. But still a village. Most of The city is represented here by one-story buildings. And don’t listen to anyone who starts telling you about “unique examples of Estonian wooden architecture.” Village. Dot. That's all.


Therefore, keep in mind that the concept of attractions in Kuressaare has a certain degree of convention. Well, look: there is an old fire station and the local town hall building (they are together in the picture)...

The quaint Church of St. Lawrence (located right across from a couple of strip clubs)…

A monument to some Estonian soldier...

And a nice house of market “importance” (this is the place where in the old days goods brought by traders were weighed - something like the control scales that we once had on Komarovka).

That's all. I even immediately regretted it when I came here.

The city itself is a combination of old wooden streets and modern buildings in the Scandinavian style. In short, a village, as I said. Although villages in Estonia, of course, look different from those in Belarus. In the evenings, I think, here you can do more than just drink and gnaw on sunflower seeds on a bench. Among the achievements of civilization, the city has two large supermarkets, several good restaurants (including a rather nice Irish Pub), some art Gallery, a museum and several modern centers for the sale of new cars (the fact of the existence of which in a town of 14 thousand really surprised me). It also made me smile that in many hardware stores, along with standard lawn mowers and mini-tractors, they also sold mechanical boats. Somehow you immediately feel like you are on an island. Cool…






As for attractions, then a real gem there is only one in the city - ancient bishop's castle, which stands right by the seashore. Next to it there are several more colorful wooden buildings and a restored Powder Tower. From the city side, a long wooden bridge leads inside the fortress wall. Inside the citadel there are outbuildings, embankments, as well as the tower and castle itself.



The uniqueness of the Kuressaare Bishop's Castle lies in its age - or rather, in the fact that it is the only castle in the Baltic countries that has survived to this day in its original form. Inside the castle there is a museum (entrance costs 5 euros), which, of course, was safely closed in winter. However, just walking around the walls of the medieval bastion is already incredibly pleasant. Plus add to this marine species, which open from the ramparts - and you will understand what I am talking about.


Sea, sunset and a couple of giants

Kuressaare Episcopal Castle is a bright and cool attraction. But in fact, for me personally, the main pearl of the island of Saaremaa is still the sea. Directly opposite the castle there is a secluded beach with well-groomed paths and trees, whose branches synchronously stretch straight towards the sea. In December, besides me and my friend Mirek, only a couple of English-speaking tourists walked here. Imagine this picture: a deserted beach, old castle and an amber sunset over the Baltic Sea... Beauty.

Saaremaa Island or the most Estonian Estonia
Brief information about Saaremaa

Saaremaa is the most big Island Estonia. The biggest locality on the island there is the city of Kuresaare, which is considered a resort. This is facilitated by proximity to the sea, mild climate, the presence of therapeutic mud and a favorable environmental situation. Apparently, this is why Kuresaare is literally crammed with not just hotels, but spa hotels and sanatoriums that offer their guests the opportunity to relax and, if they wish, improve their health after working days.
For lovers active rest There is a lot to do in Saaremaa in summer. The choice is quite extensive: fishing, crayfish catching, horse riding, boat trips on boats and yachts, quad biking, just hiking in nature reserves.
A visit to the island of Saaremaa will be especially interesting for lovers of all kinds of antiquities. On the island in large quantities spinning mills have been preserved (now, of course, not operational), ancient churches, there is one large and several small meteorite craters, medieval castles. In Kuresaare itself, several streets with historical buildings have been preserved.

How to get to Saaremaa

If you are traveling to Saaremaa from a travel agency, then it should take this issue upon itself; I will tell you how to get there on your own, implying that you are heading there from Russia.
There are no direct buses from Narva to Kuresaare, so you need to get to Tallinn and then change to the Tallinn - Kuresaare bus. In principle, such a route will not be difficult, because the Narva - Tallinn and Tallinn - Kuresaare buses run frequently (about once an hour), changing at the Tallinn bus station, so it’s difficult to get confused.
If you go by car, it is easier from Narva to take Tallinn Highway No. 1 (20), drive through the outskirts of Tallinn and turn onto Highway No. 4, then No. 9 and finally No. 10. Highway No. 10 ends in Kuresaare in Saaremaa. It should be noted that the entire journey from Narva to Kuresaare took us about 8 hours at average speed 85 km/h without wandering. The roads are good everywhere, signs are often posted, and it is highly recommended to follow the speed limit. It should be noted that road work is underway at the entrance to Tallinn, and the speed limit is 30 km/h.

Ferry to Saaremaa

Now we need to point out one subtlety. Saaremaa is an island, so highway No. 10 will take you to the port of Virtsu, where you need to take the ferry, sail to the port of Kuiwatsu and continue the trip. Finding a pier in Virtsu is not difficult: don’t turn off the main road, it will lead you to the pier. To travel by ferry, you can buy a ticket on the spot, or you can buy an electronic ticket (e-ticket) in advance. The ferry to Saaremaa runs approximately once an hour, the travel time (including loading and unloading) is about 40 minutes. The ferry service operates from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. U electronic ticket there is one advantage - you load (and unload) from the ferry outside the main queue, although all loading occurs very quickly: the green traffic light turns on and cars enter the ferry, standing up according to the instructions of the sailors. The cost of a ticket is from 10 to 12 euros one way (this is for a car and two people). The ferry has a toilet and a canteen with hot first and second courses (expensive). From the port of Kuivatsu to Kuresaare we drive along the same highway No. 10 for about 50 minutes. It should be noted here that the port of Kuivatsu is located on the island of Muhu, but the island of Muhu is connected to the island of Saaremaa by a dam, so the help of a ferry is no longer needed here. The way back occurs in reverse order. In winter, when there is severe frost, you can avoid the ferry by using the ice road along frozen sea. At this link you can find ferry schedule to Saaremaa, to book a ticket.

Saaremaa attractions

Kuresaare Castle

Probably the main attraction of Saaremaa is the Episcopal Kuresaar Castle, located in the south-eastern part of the city, on the very seashore. The first mention of the castle dates back to 1380. Kuresaare Castle was the residence of the Bishop of Saare-Läänema, which is why it is often called an episcopal castle. The castle is perfectly preserved and restored. Inside there is an extensive museum exhibition dedicated to the nature and history of the island of Saaremaa from ancient times to the present day. Entrance to the castle island is free, entrance to the museum costs about two euros. Photography is allowed in the castle, since we were there in the low season (February), there were no excursions there, and we were left to our own devices. A detailed inspection of the entire exhibition will take about three hours.

Maasi Castle

Maasi Castle is located very close to the second largest city in Saaremaa - Orissaare. The castle is picturesquely located on a hill right by the seashore, away from the main road, so look carefully at the signs, fortunately they are there. At one time, Maasi Castle was completely destroyed and is now being restored. Apparently this work is being carried out in summer season, because in February there was no one there. There is little left of the castle walls, but underground there are large dungeons where entry is allowed. For those who like to climb ancient walls, this is an ideal option.

Kaali Meteor Crater

A long time ago, the sky over Saaremaa shook from unprecedented thunder that swept from edge to edge of the island, and then split in half from a gigantic pillar of fire that hit the ground. The red-hot pillar burned through the ancient foundation of the island, scattering fragments of the earth's firmament for many kilometers around. All this happened about four thousand years ago. The place where the pillar of fire hit, which turned out to be a meteorite, was called the Kaali crater. Now the crater is a funnel with a diameter of one hundred meters, a depth of 20 m, surrounded by a shaft of rock. The cosmic fire had long died down, the bottom of the crater was filled with water, and the slopes of the shaft were overgrown with trees and grass. So now nothing here reminds of the events of the distant past. In general, the place is interesting, if you are in Saaremaa, be sure to look at the Kaali meteorite crater. Getting to the Kaali crater is very easy: there is a sign on the highway between Kuresaare and Orissaare.

Windmills

From the Kaali meteorite crater you can drive north along road number 79 to Karja (Karya) where the windmill museum is located. The mills have been restored and look very impressive! There is actually a windmill in Kuresaare itself, but windmills look more natural among the fields.

Panga Pank

Panga Pank, also known as Panga Cliff, is located in the north of the island. This is a coastal ledge 21 m above sea level. Here, right out of the sea waves, ancient sheer cliffs, gnawed by wind and water, rise up, on top of which in ancient times there was a pagan sanctuary, and sacrifices (they say that sometimes even human ones) were thrown from the cliff into the sea. Now in Saaremaa, of course, this is not practiced; the sanctuary will be replaced with a completely modern lighthouse and sundial. The views of the sea from Panga Pank (Panga cliff) are simply wonderful, but you shouldn’t lose your head from the beauty - everywhere there are warning signs that it is dangerous to approach the edge of the cliff. There is a small parking lot for tourists, and in summer you can buy hot tea and coffee. In winter everything is closed, but there is a stunning silence. Panga Pank, also known as Panga Cliff, is definitely recommended for visiting.

Saaremaa hotels. Saamermaa spa.

Most hotels in Saaremaa are located in the town of Kuresaare. Of these we can distinguish three spa hotels :
- Spa Hotel Meri Spa Hotel 3*)
- Spa Hotel Ruutli (Ruutli Spa Hotel 4*)
- Saaremaa Valss Spa Hotel 2*
As the name implies, these hotels, in addition to the actual accommodation services, offer a whole range of spa treatments. Since the author spent 10 days at the Rüütli Hotel, we can list the range of its services:
- aqua center (jacuzzi, swimming pool, hydromassage, sauna);
- infrared sauna;
- salt cave;
- different kinds massages (classical, aromatic, therapeutic);
- mother-of-pearl wrap.
All three hotels are located next to each other in the immediate vicinity of Kuresaari Castle, and it is possible to get rooms with a view of the castle and the bay. In addition to these hotels, there are a dozen more hotels in Kuresaare, which can be found at

At first I had no intention of going to Saaremaa. Instead there should be the city of Pärnu. Then I thought that in winter the resort of Pärnu could be completely sad and boring, and decided to go to Saaremaa - travel all over western Estonia, take a ferry and get to the capital of the island - the city of Kuressaare.

Saaremaa is the largest (approximately 90 by 90 km) island in Estonia and the fourth in the Baltic Sea. Tallinn is about 200 km from here, which is far by Estonian standards. Airplanes fly to the island from Tallinn, and even from Stockholm in the summer. Of course, we won’t fly, but will cross by ferry.

Since childhood, I have loved looking at maps, so I heard the name of the island, which at first seems unpronounceable and with an excessive number of letters “a,” for a long time. It was later that I learned that in Estonian “saar” means “island”, “maa” means “land”. Having canceled 2 days in Pärnu, I had a great desire to go here. I understood perfectly well that I would not see everything that was there, but I could not resist.

On the one hand, I don’t regret at all that I went to Saaremaa, on the other hand, we were only on the island for a day, we were running out of time for the route. In a good way here and on neighboring islands you need to go on a separate trip and preferably for at least a week. There is a lot of interesting things here - from wooden old mills and farms to meteorite craters, folk festivals and beautiful nature. Unfortunately, it was not possible to get to such details this time, but the impressions of the island and the route to it still remained strong. I mentally put Saaremaa on my list of places I definitely need to return to.

1. The ferry to the island comes from the village of Virtsu in western Estonia. The village itself is relatively young, having emerged a little over a hundred years ago as a settlement near the port. Over the past 10 years, 3 wind power plant complexes have been built here, the largest of which has an area of ​​40 hectares and produces an average of 16 GJ of electricity per year

2. The ferry goes through the narrowest point of the Suurvain Strait between mainland Estonia and the island of Muhu, from which a dam is built on Saaremaa. Walk along the sea for about half an hour, the distance is about 7 km

4. Somewhere in the same places the battleship "Slava" was blown up and sunk by its crew in 1917.

The ship was badly damaged in battles with the Germans and was unable to pass through the strait to the port, which is why it was decided to destroy it and block the entrance to the strait. Due to the shallows, the ship did not sink completely and remained flooded for about 10 years until it was dismantled into pieces.

5. There is no one on the open deck. Only a strong wind trying to destroy everything in its path. Pictures won’t convey even part of it all, but the impressions are unforgettable. It feels like we’re walking not just a few kilometers, but towards the Arctic or Antarctica

6. We have arrived. Kuivastu Port, Muhu Island

7. Then an hour's journey and we are in Kuressaare, the capital of the island of Saaremaa. Under the USSR, the city was called Kingisepp, which created a number of inconveniences due to the fact that near Narva and Ivangorod, in Leningrad region, there is and still remains another Kingisepp, formerly Yamburg. I always thought that “Kingisepp” was an ancient name, but it turned out that it was the name of an Estonian communist. Just like the story with Tutaev in the Yaroslavl region.
City center

9. I agree that it is more cozy here in summer, but even in winter Kuressaare remains a nice town. There are not many people here, the main streets are quiet enough and you can take a break from the hustle and bustle

10. On the coast stands the castle of the Bishop of Kuressaare - the main attraction of the city. It has been known since the 14th century

12. The castle is simple and pleasant in appearance. But the area around is completely undeveloped, there’s not much to walk around

13. Inside the castle there is a museum covering the time from the Middle Ages to Soviet Estonia. True, I won’t say that it’s exciting and exciting, I wouldn’t want to go there a second time

14. But already in the evening I walked through the old city for the second time. Here, many blocks are built up with one-story houses, and the streets are covered not with asphalt, but with paving stones. It’s just a pity, many establishments were already closed, I just had to walk

Alas, but in one of the most beautiful places Baltic region, the island of Saaremaa cannot be reached directly from Russia. The thing is that the only Kuresaare airport on the island accepts only Estonian Air flights from Tallinn. The good news is that there are daily flights, so if you want to get there by air, everything is simple. From Moscow to Tallinn (flight time 1 hour 40 minutes), and then from Tallinn to Saaremaa (40 minutes). But not everyone likes this route; not everyone likes flying, and it’s a bit expensive. Therefore, I propose to consider more budget-friendly ways to get to Saaremaa. We will depart from Tallinn, because it is not difficult to get to the Estonian capital and there is no point in detailing the route.

Kuresaare Airport

Bus

Direct bus services Tallinn - Kuresaare depart daily, with a frequency of approximately 1 bus per 1 hour from central bus station Tallinn, located at Lastekodu, 46. This is actually the very center of the city, so it won’t be difficult to find it.

Despite the fact that the distance from Tallinn to Kuresaare is only 220 kilometers, the travel time, including the ferry crossing, will be approximately 5 hours.

Tallinn Central Bus Station

Automobile

If you are traveling by car, then leave Tallinn on the romantically named highway No. 4 (north of the city), get to highway No. 9, and then get to highway No. 10, which will lead you to the port of Virtsu, where you will need to take the ferry to Kuwaitsu port. There are many signs, the roads are good and relatively free. It's almost impossible to get lost.

It is worth noting that the ferry does not go to the island of Saaremaa, but to the island of Muhu. But this should not scare anyone, since Muhu and Saaremaa are connected by a dam.

Ferry tickets can be purchased on the spot or in advance online. At the same time, the advantage of an electronic ticket is that you will be loaded onto the ferry in a separate queue, which is faster. Although this is not so important, because loading and unloading is worked out to the smallest detail and does not take much time.

Ferry to Virtsu

Ferries depart every hour, and the travel time, including loading and unloading, takes 40-50 minutes.

After arriving at the port of Kuivatsu, you take the same highway number 10 and drive to Kuresaare. The road at an average speed of 80-85 kilometers per hour will take no more than 40-50 minutes.

You are doing the right thing by considering all travel options, since this is the only way to choose the most suitable option (both in terms of time and in terms of savings). If you are planning a trip together, then renting a car and traveling further to Saaremaa in it will be a fairly comfortable option, but at the same time the most expensive. Judge for yourself: the distance from Tallinn is approximately 225 kilometers and you will have to spend at least 30 euros on gasoline alone. Depending on the car class daily rental starts from 30-35 euros. You won’t be able to get to the island directly; you’ll have to take a ferry across a 7-kilometer strait. The ferry crossing will not take much time, but it is still an additional expense (the crossing time is about an hour). You can pay for the fare on the spot, before the crossing. The cost of ferrying a car is about 10 euros. I do not advise you to focus on this method of travel, as it is not very convenient, expensive, and without knowing the roads and terrain, additional difficulties may arise.

Here's the opportunity direct flight From Tallinn to Saaremaa it is worth paying attention, as it is fast, comfortable and not so expensive. I think you are well aware that the cost of flights in Europe is much cheaper than here, especially if early booking tickets. Between Tallinn airport. Airlink operates regular flights to Lennart Mary and the island airport of Kuressaare. You can find detailed information on the airline's website, but general rule On weekdays there are two flights: at 8.35 and 18.35, on Sunday only at 18.35, and on Saturday only at 10.50. The flight time is only 40 minutes and compared to a multi-hour car ride, the difference is simply colossal. Tickets go on sale 12 months before departure, and their minimum cost starts from 30 euros. This price includes 5 kg hand luggage and 15 kilograms of luggage.

There is a connection between Tallinn and Saaremaa bus service, and you don’t have to make any transfers: you take the bus to the capital and get off directly on the island, in its main city of Kuressaare. The journey takes place by land and by ferry. Transportation is carried out by different companies, and all flights operate between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. The number of flights depends on the day of the week, but usually there are at least 10. When choosing a carrier, pay attention to the fact that each company has different services. Some offer Wi-Fi to passengers, others have multimedia buses, some have air conditioning and toilets. Buses depart from the Tallinn bus station at Lastekodu 46 and deliver passengers to their destination in about 4 hours. Buses make several stops along the route.

The cost of an adult ticket ranges from 13 to 18 euros. It is advisable to purchase tickets in advance and not postpone the purchase until the day of the trip, as there may not be any free seats (the destination is very popular). I advise you to pay attention to the carrier Lux Express, which, about a month before the trip, organizes various promotions and offers some tickets for only 5 euros.

On the one hand, it may seem that the best option is a plane: quickly and inexpensively, but this is only if the amount of your luggage does not exceed 15 kilograms, otherwise you will have to pay extra. It is for this reason that many tourists prefer buses.
