Bulgaria sits at the crossroads of Southeast Europe, and its coach hire market reflects two very distinct seasons: summer, when the Black Sea resorts of Sunny Beach, Golden Sands, and Sozopol fill with package tourists arriving at Varna (VAR) and Bourgas (BOJ) airports; and winter, when the Bansko ski resort draws groups from across Europe. Sofia, the capital, handles the largest volume of year-round corporate and touring traffic from Sofia Airport (SOF). Plovdiv, European Capital of Culture in 2019, has a growing incentive travel market built around its remarkably well-preserved Old Town.
Bulgaria is an EU member state and operators carry EU international licences. The country uses the Bulgarian Lev (BGN), pegged 1:1 to the Euro. Cross-border runs into Greece, Romania, North Macedonia, and Serbia are routine. The road network has improved considerably over the past decade -- the Trakia Motorway links Sofia to Bourgas in around 3.5 hours, and the Hemus Motorway is extending progressively north-east. Mountain roads to Rila and Pirin require experienced drivers.
