GoEuro raises $27M for one-stop Europe travel site

If you’ve traveled in Europe, especially as a tourist, you know that planning and booking travel is a tedious experience. Berlin-based travel platform GoEuro has a site that aims to make the process simpler.

The company has raised a $27 million round led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA). Existing investors Battery Ventures, Hasso Plattner Ventures, and Lakestar have increased their investments in the company.

The startup launched in May 2013 after announcing $4 million in seed funding from Hasso Plattner Ventures and Battery Ventures. Earlier this year it announced another multi-million dollar funding round, but it did not disclose the exact amount.

GoEuro offers European travelers an online overview of travel options, including the prices and journey times of rail, bus, and air. Travelers can plan routes from towns and villages and then compare and combine air, rail, and bus travel in a single search, removing the need to visit multiple websites to plan trips.

The company currently operates in seven countries: Germany, UK, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg. I offers data on 20,510 railway stations, 10,011 bus stations, and 207 airports. GoEuro says it’ll use the new money to add more European travel destinations to its service later this year.

“This is a very significant backing of the progress we have made since we launched just over a year ago,” said GoEuro founder and CEO Naren Shaam in a statement. “We continue to see rapid increase in all our key metrics in the business, and this funding will enable us to execute our growth strategy over the next few years.”
