FlixBus Brings Back the 666 to Hel for Summer Route

FlixBus has revived a seasonal route 666 from Kraków to Hel on Poland’s Baltic coast, after the number was changed to 669 in 2023 amid controversy. The 13‑hour trip, with stops including Warsaw and coastal towns, runs through the summer to ease peak tourist traffic to the Hel Peninsula. While the infamous number sparks jokes, historians say Hel’s name predates any supernatural link, and the operator says the route meets a real demand for direct coastal connectivity. The revival has attracted significant social-media attention and interest in the novelty as well as the destination.

FlixBus revives Poland’s infamous Hel-bound 666 route for summer

FlixBus has launched a seasonal 666 line from Kraków to Hel via Warsaw and Gdańsk, reviving the famous route after its predecessor was renamed in response to objections. The daily service runs until the end of August, covering about 13.5 hours, and reflects strong summer travel demand and higher travel costs that are pushing Poles to holiday at home, with the branding viewed as a marketing move that elicited mixed reactions from Christian groups.

Poland brings back the infamous 666 bus route to Hel for summer

Polish coach operator FlixBus is reviving the controversial bus number 666 for the summer season, running daily from Krakow to Hel on Poland’s Baltic coast with stops in Warsaw and along the way; the original 666 was changed to 669 in 2023 due to complaints about its satanic associations, but the new service aims to boost visibility of the Hel route as a major tourist draw.

FlixBus resurrects Poland's '666' bus to Hel with Kraków–Hel summer route

FlixBus is reviving Route 666 with a new daily summer service from Kraków to Hel, routing via Warsaw and Baltic coast resorts. The roughly 13‑hour journey marks the return of the famous “bus to hell” number (which was changed to 669 in 2023 after protests) and is designed to offer direct Kraków–Hel connections for the summer holiday period, avoiding peak traffic en route to the Baltic coast. The Hel Peninsula is a popular Baltic destination; the 666 branding is a deliberate nod to the route’s history rather than a destination to hell.
