Sofia to Plovdiv (and back)

I'll be travelling to Bulgaria in October .. is taking the train from Sofia to Plovdiv fairly straightforward? Would taking a bus be just as easy?

Thanks kindly in advance

Joanne, I cant help with that one. I can tell you that Plovdiv remains one of my favorite destinations. Hope you spend a night at least and pull as much out of it as you can.

How did I get there? In 25 years of 2 to 4 trips a year to Europe I had the pleasure to find 4 exceptional guides in four different countries. Bulgaria was one of those places. So, I thought I would pass along the name. Pavlina Docheva, Easy Bulgaria Travel, +359 87 895 6414, www.easybulgariatravel.com, pavlina@easybulgariatravel.com

Enjoy the trip (I am jealous).

I’m bookmarking this for a future trip. Bulgaria and Romania have been on my radar for awhile. We were going to go this September but decided on Istanbul, got a great hotel rate. Hoping for fall 2026.
