Remember that the bus driver can drive a maximum of 8 hours per day and the bus is available for 12 hours per day in total. If you arrange an excursion that is not included in your itinerary and which involves parking and city entry fees, these fees need to be paid by your group.

Your 2nd Option is to use the tournament shuttle bus. You’ll be able to reach the soccer fields and the event venues (opening ceremony, tournament disco and prize giving ceremony) at a very special price!

The shuttle bus system only works as a transfer for the matches and tournament events, not for leisure or excursions.

In both cases you will need airport transfers as these are not included in either option.
