FlixBus revives Poland’s ‘Highway to Hel’ 666 bus service

Three years after the disappearance of Poland’s famous 666 bus route to the Hel Peninsula, coach operator FlixBus has announced the return of the service for the 2026 summer season. The new Route 666 will connect Kraków with the Baltic resort town of Hel, travelling through Warsaw and several popular seaside destinations along the peninsula.

The return of the route number has attracted attention across Poland because of its long association with the so-called “Highway to Hel”. The number 666, commonly linked to the Biblical “number of the beast”, combined with the destination name Hel, made the service one of the country’s most recognisable bus routes.
