Flights to Bulgaria

Sofia International Airport

This is the main gateway to Bulgaria and handles more than half of the international air traffic to Bulgaria. The flight from the UK takes 2.5 hours. The two main international ports are Varna and Bourgas.

Bulgaria Air and British Airways provide daily flights to London. While low cost airlines do not operate flights to Sofia yet, the round trip is unlikely to cost more than J250.

The Czech, Austrian and Hungarian airlines may be a good alternative if you do not mind a short stopover in the respective capital.

Car Hire

Once in Sofia, various means of transportation are available. You can rent a car from the airport should you need flexible transportation arrangements.

Taxi

The highest taxi fare you can expect to pay is just 4gbp, for the longest one way trip within Sofia, but usually it would be just 1 to 2 gbp. Regular bus services can take you anywhere in the country in comfortable environment.

The longest one way trip imaginable, Sofia - Varna, is about 5.5 hours and costs just 10gbp. The winter resorts, Borovets, Bansko and Pamporovo are from one to three hours drive from Sofia, respectively, and In general the transportation services are of good quality and reliability.

Varna International Airport and Bourgas International Airport

The importance of these seaside airports sharply increases during the summer months. They handle significant traffic of incoming tourists from Western Europe and Russia going for their summer vacation.

Numerous charter flights operate to and from the airports and can go as low as J80 one way. They cover the main markets of the UK, Germany, Scandinavia and Russia.

Out of season the demand drops sharply and arranging a direct flight to the seaside can become more difficult, but it is still possible, especially to Varna. Shuttles and regular bus services are readily available between Bourgas and Varna and the resorts in between.

Services are also at your disposal should you want to visit the resorts south of Bourgas or north of Varna. Again, transportation is reliable and one cannot expect to remain stranded.

Bulgaria is about two and a half hour flight from the United Kingdom direct. There are a number of Bulgarian and foreign airlines fly to Bulgarian airports from most capitals of Europe, Africa, Middle East and North America. Two scheduled airlines currently fly direct to Sofia once a day, most other major European carriers fly indirectly.

Bulgarian International airports are at Sofia and on the Black Sea Coast at Bourgas and Varna with some chartered flights also landing at Plovdiv and Gorna Oryahovitsa. Direct international fly to the capital, Sofia, all year round.

Direct charter flights to the Black Sea (Varna/Bourgas) are available during the spring and summer months and can be booked through local travel agents in the United Kingdom

Varna Airport is approximately 9km from the city of Varna and Bourgas Airport is 13km from the city, with bus services to Varna city centre departing every twenty minutes.

There are also several international Bus stations where all international buses arrive and you can use the rail transport too. Although there are no direct rail services between Bulgaria and Western Europe there are frequent services between Sofia and Belgrade, Bucharest, Thessalonica and Istanbul.

Reaching Bulgaria by car is also convenient. Travelling by car you must enter at an official border point, those with Romania, Vidin, Oryahovo, Rousse are probably the most convenient. When entering you must have a document of ownership over your car, if not explicitly shown on the documents of registration.

You must also declare your exit crossing and pay the corresponding tax. Speed limits in Bulgaria apply on all public roads, 50 km/h in populated areas, 90 km/h outside towns and villages, and 120 km/h on motorways.

There are also sea and river connections through the Black Sea and the Danube River, however most of these are cruises rather than regular services. The official crossing point into Romania by ferry is from Vidin to Calafat.
