Night Trains .
.....When I first heard of these trains I thought they would
be a great way of getting.....from Sofia to Varna (and vice versa) in the Winter months when
there are no
.....direct flights from my nearest airport (Varna).
.
.....These trains have sleeper cabins and there are 3 cabins to each compartment.
.
.....When Christine and I use the sleeper
trains we book all 3 cabins to ensure that
.....we do not have to share with total strangers.
.
.....I forget the exact price but it is around 80 leva, first class, for all three cabins.
.
.....Interestingly there is a Mc Donalds inside Sofia railway station that does not
.....sell hamburgers,
it only sell sandwiches and hot dogs.
.
.....I once booked a sleeper cabin second class just to see what the difference was,
.....second class was only slightly cheaper but first class is well worth the extra.
.
.....The night trains usually leave the station sometime after 11 at night and 1 in the
.....morning. Its advisable to book in advance.
