Recently i traveled a few time from Vienna to Sofia. Since i did not found a summary, here is mine.
Possibilities i tried:
- By car with Mitfahrgelegenheit. On the Website select "Ausland" to get the international destinations.
- By Bus with Air Kona. The Bus goes daily from Vienna-VIB/Erdberg to Sofia "Trafik Market" (The old bus stations between the rail station and the new bus station). The tickets can be bought via Eurolines.at or at the Air Konu office at Trafik Market (Attention Eurolines.bg is a different company).
A two-way ticket is 98EUR/190lv, a one-way ticket is 61EUR/120lv.
- If you for some reasons can't take the Air Konu bus, there is the Union Ivkoni Bus. It starts daily in the Netherlands and goes via various german cities to Vienna. It arrives in Vienna at around 4.00am at the touris bus stop "Belvedere" at Landstrasser Guertel on the opposite site of Suedbahnhof. One way ticket is 56EUR and in my case included a free lunch sandvich at a serbian restaurant (huge white bread with lots of hot, fat, spicy meat).
- If you book in advance the cheapest flight is with SkyEurope. The flight goes to the old airport (Terminal 1) in Sofia.
- A bit more expensive is Bulgaria Air. The flight goes to and from the new Airport in Sofia (Terminal 2). The included food is very basic, but you can get bulgarian wine if you like it. When i was there the bus stop at Terminal 2 was not where the signs say but in front of the entrance.
Possibilities i have not tried:
- Train. It is slower than the bus, 20hour versus approx 13hours.
