Greetings, dear friends! Our topic today is how to get from Burgas Airport to the city center and nearby seaside resorts.

Burgas Sarafovo Airport is one of the largest airports in Bulgaria. It is located 16 kilometers from the city center.

The airport complex consists of two terminals. True, the first terminal, an old building from the middle of the last century, is not working now. The entire passenger flow is accepted only by terminal No. 2.

At the airport, given its very modest size, it is impossible to get lost even for those who arrived there for the first time.

The bulk of passengers using Burgas Airport are tourists. So with the city and some resort places the airport is connected by a convenient transport network.

Getting to Burgas and nearby resorts from the airport is very easy.

This can be done in several ways. Let's consider each of them.

In this article:

By bus

A convenient bus number 15 departs directly from the airport, the stop of which is located on the ring site in front of the new airport terminal.

The stop is unsightly, very similar to those that stood in the provincial cities of the USSR. Don't be afraid, you can just leave it.

The bus runs from 5.00 to 23.00. The interval of his movement is 25-30 minutes.

The fare is 5 leva (2.5 euros). Tickets can be purchased from the driver.

Ending station - southern bus station of Burgas.

Buses "Burgas - Sunny Beach" (Burgas-Slanchev Bryag) depart from the same stop. These buses are passing, so it is impossible to make an exact schedule. But the transport runs very well, within 30-40 minutes you will definitely leave for the place you need.

You can leave from the stop at the airport roundabout to the following cities:

Nessebar - 44 km,
Pomorie – 21 km,
Elenite – 47 km,
Ravdu - 37 km,
Tsarevo - 68 km,
Sozopol - 35 km,
Sunny Beach - 35 km,
Saint Vlas – 43 km

and many others

Fares to these resort towns- from 6 to 15 leva (3-8 euros).

You can also go to Bulgarian resorts with southern bus station of Burgas where bus number 15 goes from the airport.

The information desk of the bus station works very well. Bus timetables hang on almost every wall. The main thing for you is to remember from which sector (from which platform) the bus you need leaves.

By train

Burgas Airport does not have its own station and is not connected to the city by rail. However, if you wish to continue your journey by train, you will need to:

take bus number 15 to Southern Bus Station Burgas,
walk about 200 meters to "JP Gara"- main city railway station

From it you can go not only to the suburban resorts of the Bulgarian coast, but also to various cities of the country.

Buy train tickets directly at the station building.

There or on the website of the Bulgarian Railways you can find information about:

train schedules,
special services for passengers with limited mobility,
rules for the transport of animals,
the possibility of traveling with oversized cargo,
service for children.

and much more to help make your journey through railway comfortable.

If you need to leave at night

If you arrived at Burgas airport on a night flight, a taxi is the only way to leave from there to the city.

Taxis can be taken directly from the airport upon arrival. The parking lots are on station square, directly opposite the exit from the arrivals sector of terminal No. 2. You can see them from the baggage claim area.

See the cost of the trip on that website.

Do not use the services of unlicensed carriers. Take the car only at the indicated official parking lots. A trip with a random driver can end in unpleasant adventures and will never be cheaper than an official taxi.

Travel time from Burgas Airport to the city center is about 20 minutes. Distance - 16 kilometers.

Burgas is a city interesting for its contrast and originality. Like any city that is both a resort, and a cultural center, and a port, and just an old place, it has a special flavor.

The surrounding resorts are real tourist mecca. From the numerous towns of the coast, each tourist can choose the one that he likes. It is better for families to go to Albena, young and active people will be delighted with Sunny Beach and Golden Sands, and respectable travelers who do not like noise and prefer calmness and solitude are best to head to Sozopol or Nessebar.

I hope that your trip to Bulgarian resorts will be exciting and fruitful. I think that many will wish to return there again.

I wish you to bring only the most pleasant impressions from Bulgaria!

For today I have everything. See you soon, dear friends!
