Travel Options
- Travel Info: By taxi: We have secured very good rates for Sofia Airport to Bansko (return) transfers.
By train: If travelling from Sophia to Bansko we recommend travelling by hire car or taxi rather than train. The train takes an enormous detour and considerably more time. However, if time is not a problem the scenery is magnificent and takes you through the highest train station in the Balkans.
By bus: The buses to Bansko are of the same standard and quality of a bus in the Uk. Please be aware that in our experience it is not unusual for a particular bus to not turn up and schedules are often a rough guide only. Transfer time is roughly 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on route and weather conditions. Prices are between 13 to 15 LEV one way.
