Traveling by train in Bulgaria - oh yes, this is definitely a good idea! Our country is more than rich in beautiful views and diverse nature, and traveling by train brings an incomparable touch of adventure and romance. In this article we have selected 5 great routes that will reveal the beauties of Bulgaria in an incredible train journey. Here they are:

№ 1

The Rhodope narrow-gauge railway

Well of course we start the list with the amazing Rhodope narrow-gauge railway - a trip through The Rhodopes, Rila and Pirin, which was included in the British Guardian newspaper's prestigious list of the most romantic train journeys in Europe. If you decide to travel all the way from Septemvri to Dobrinishte, you will pass through incredible gorges, beautiful mountains, many tunnels and the whole trip will take you about 5 hours. It's great that the narrow-gauge restaurant car has recently been relaunched - you will meet interesting people there and your stay will be even more pleasant.

Destination Sofia-Burgas

Traveling by train to the sea is a really great experience. You meet new people, you hear a cheerful noise, music, songs… We recommend this trip to our younger readers - and the evening train. You will both have the opportunity to admire the great views and you will meet great new people. Many friendships are born in this train, and in many cases a new love…

Travel by train through the Iskar gorge

Do this trip around Bulgaria through Autumn!! Then the views through the train window are simply stunning! If you start from Sofia we recommend that you reach at least Bov station and take a walk along the Vazova eco trail and why not to Skaklya waterfall. And why not go to Lakatnik and walk to the famous Lakatnik rocks. In both cases you can travel and return by train on the same day to the capital, and if you decide to extend your stay, the region offers many different accommodation options.

This is an amazing journey through the Rose Valley and many Revival villages filled with charm and beauty. We recommend that you do it in May to feel the aroma of roses. Take a walk to Koprivshtitsa or Karlovo - the towns are beautiful and full of history and beautiful places to see.
