The modernisation and renovation of the central railway station has finally been completed, making it a far more pleasant experience. There are still a few areas that need completion such as the food court, but for now everything is bright and clean and bustle free. The direct access with the underground is also ideal and it is fairly straightforward to find your way around with signs in Bulgarian and English. Train travel, although inexpensive, is also very slow and unglamorous but if you are not rushed for time it is a more eco friendly way to travel, the overnight sleepers to the Black Sea Coast are very popular as is the overnight sleeper to Istanbul.Bulgaria is expecting to have high speed trains to Plovdiv and other destinations in the near future.
The English version of the website is very user friendly and informative. Well Done!!!
