In reply to Anne. Hello Anne, There are buses from Sofia that can take up to 7-8 hours to the Black Sea. The better and faster option is to rent a car. Enjoy!

My husband and I are thinking about a hiking trip to Bulgaria and are looking at possibly extending the trip by a few days to go to the beach. What would you recommend? Any easy ways to get from Sophia (we will fly in and out of there) to get to the Black Sea? Would we need to rent a car?

Hey Bob,

Wow, you are doing Kom-Emine? It is on my list of things to do in Bulgaria but still figuring out the time. I am sure you’ll have a great time! Where did you find info to help you with the planning of the trek?

Best,
Maria

Great write-up. what you say about the wine is so true! i spent a few months in sofia just chilling and had a lot (a whole lot) of mavrud with all of the excellent food.

This summer I’ve got the good fortune to be planning to hike kom-emine and look forward to the rural side of the nation, as well as the nature. i’ll be kicking that off with some urban time in sofia though and look forward to some good eats/drinks/meetings.

Hi Maria,

Thanks for the information! My husband and I are traveling to Sofia in a few weeks and planning to do a roadtrip through Bulgaria and a few of the surrounding countries. These are very helpful tips!

Hello Hayley,

A nice meal out in a restaurant will cost you around 10-15 Euro per person. Check out this website for price references: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Bulgaria&displayCurrency=EUR. I wish you a great trip!

Hi,

I’m going to Bulgaria for a week, staying in Sofia (hostel has been paid for already) and possibly doing some day trips.

We will probably eat out twice a day and will definitely be sampling the wine! Not really interested in shopping or clubbing nights out. Mainly just nice meals and wandering around taking it in.

I’m just wondering how much money to bring with me, we won’t be going crazy as we are on a budget but an idea of the rough cost for a week would be gravely appreciated?!

Love Bulgaria. I have been there last year and I know I’ll be back someday soon.

Hey guys,

I wish you great time in Sofia! It is Easter this weekend so you may feel the festive spirit.

A place where you can hang out with locals is anywhere in the city center – a lot of bars, etc. but there is also a Traveller’s Club (bar) where you can also have a beer and meet local travellers – https://www.facebook.com/TravellersClubSofia/ (sorry the page is in Bulgarian, but you can message them to ask if they are open during this holiday weekend).

I’m not going to be in Sofia this weekend, otherwise I would’ve loved to meet you. Also, if you want to hang out with other bloggers in Bulgaria, you can ask in this FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/travel.bloggers.for.bulgaria/

All best,
Maria
