In the late 19th century, traveling by horse-drawn post coach typically covered about 107 kilometers per day, though travelers sometimes doubled this distance in winter by negotiating with drivers. Coaches varied from simple carts to luxurious dormeuses, which allowed passengers to lie down and sleep during long trips.
