 BOJ - Burgas Airport by rowo
From the Airport is a public bus Nr. 15 running to the city center, and also buses are going on the black sea cost north to Direction Varna. Be minimum two hours before departure of your flight at the airport, because it is very busy at check-In and at Passport Control! Leave a Comment

 train station by ChristinaNest
The other runs through Pazardjik, Plovdiv, Stara Zagora, Yambol, Karnobat.
During the floodings last year, the railroads were furhter damaged and the trains often have delays half to one hour. However, they are cheaper than buses. The return tickets come out cheaper and are valid for one month. The return tickets to smaller places are valid for 3 days.
I think that Burgas' trainstation is the most beautiful in Bulgaria. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Bourgas's main bus station is the "South" station which is next to its railway station on Garov Ploshtad Sq. and services most of the popular local routes including to and from the airport. What I was particularly impressed with here is that for once things are actually well signposted!! The main timetable is on the wall outside the ticket office and the individual bus stops are also well signed (and as a bonus with latin transliterations for the destinations!).
As well as local bus services there are also several daily buses from here to Sofia and further afield.
I do believe there is another bus station ("West" station) on Maritsa Street which covers the places not covered by the "South" station but I didn't have call to use that one. The website below has contact details for most of the local buses. Leave a Comment

 Bulgaria, Bourgas, Port, View

I'm not really one for making comparisons between places but I do get the impression that Varna and Bourgas maintain a friendly rivalry and what one has the other wants to emulate and perhaps even better. One case in point is their respective railway stations which are almost identical twins, having been built by the same architects. I'm certainly not going to make any value judgement on which is the prettier but suffice it to say that both are equally welcoming.
Bourgas's Central Station is pretty easy to find being just off the city centre on the main thorofare of Blvd Knyaz Al. Batenberg (next door to the bus station and the port offices) and is connected to to Bulgaria's mainline rail network via the junction at Karnobat. There are 7 daily services to and from Sofia with an express journey time of about 6 and a half hours.
And just as an aside I should mention that the ticket seller here was definitely the most helpful ensuring that I had a reservation and double-checking that I knew I had to change trains at Karnobat for my journey back to Varna. Oh, and not to forget the guy who sold me my beer from one of the refreshment stalls who made sure I got a nice cold one!! Yep, Cheers! Both :)
Phone number is for info (0500 to 1830) and website is the excellent Bulgarian National Railway which has an "English" option. Leave a Comment
