A day trip by bus is an organized excursion where the outbound and return journey takes place on the same day. You board in the morning at a nearby stop, spend the day at the destination, and are back home in the evening – without having to drive yourself, without searching for parking. This article highlights popular BOHR destinations, clarifies costs and procedures, and answers the most frequently asked questions.

BOHR, based in Lautzenhausen at Hahn Airport, offers day trips with pick-ups in the Hunsrück, along the Rhine and Moselle, as well as in the Rhine-Main area.
