Sofia Travel Forum

I will be arriving to Sofia by plane from London, England. I am just curious as to how easy it is to get to the train station and what the best way to go about getting to the station is? Is there a separate international train station, as i will be going to Belgrade?

Also, does anyone know of the cost of the train to Nis or to Belgrade? I found the schedule, 2 trains per day, is that right?

thank you very much, i will have some more questions later in regards to where to stay in sofia and what to do on my way back, i plan on stay for 3-5 days on my way home.

thanks again!!!

"Is there a separate international train station, as i will be going to Belgrade?"
No, it's only one station. The ticket to Beograd is 22 Euro +/- 1 Euro. Sleeper is as far as I remember 10 Euro extra to the ticket. To Nish the ticket is 8-9 Euro. Indeed, there are two trains.

More ticket rules, blah-blah-blah here (but no prices, I get my prices from www.jizdenka.cz and apply SET discount)

Make sure, you head immediately to the Rila ticket ofice, not to the domestic ticket office. The Rila office is at the station, just ask there.
