Transport
Transport in Bulgaria - how to get around the country: airports, the railway network, intercity buses, transfers, and coastal connections along the Black Sea. This section has practical guides: how to get from point to point, roughly how long the trip takes, and what options there are.
Here you’ll find the country’s airports (Sofia, Plovdiv, and Varna), city transport, and popular routes like Sofia → Plovdiv or Sofia → Varna (bus, train, car) - and we keep adding directions and modes of transport. It’s handy to plan transport together with the “Car rental” and “Routes” sections.
