 | Varna Flights and Airline Tips | 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
Varna has a rather cute little airport about 20 minutes out of the city centre and whilst the number of daily flights is relatively small it does provide links to most major hubs for travel further afield.
To get to the airport by public transport the 409 bus runs about every 20 minutes from Golden Sands with the city stop at Vladislav Varnenchik, the bus stop being the one across the road opposite the western side of the cathedral. The single fare (at the time of writing) being the princely sum of 80 stotinki!
The only thing to beware of is that if you like a beer be prepared to be extorted! A can of Kamenitza, land-side, (which was marked as 89c) cost 6 Leva. The same can airside 7.50!!!
So perhaps this should be transferred to "Warnings and Dangers"! Leave a Comment

 varna airport by zlatiq
Bus number 409 takes you from the airport to the bus station, city center and all the way to some of the resorts. Tickets are sold from the ticket collector in the bus (he/he will come to you once you get on the bus). Also not only hotels, but some hostels can arrange to pick you up from the airport.
Although the airport is very small, it runs pretty well. So far, i havent had problems both taking off and landing, either in the summer or in the winter.
The airport gets very busy in the summer season, with lots of seasonal and charter flights from/to all over europe. There are regular flights to London-Gatwick, Vienna, Sofia, few cities in Germany, and i think Bratislava. The best is to check their schedule.
ticket sale: + 359 52 573 416 or + 359 52 511 825
flight info: + 359 52 573 323
if people on the phone seem rude to you, dont pay attention, i think this is their intonation.
good luck! Leave a Comment

Varna is a very easy place to get to by train being the terminus of the two main lines cross-country from Sofia and hence linked to all of Bulgaria's main towns and cities. There are 7 trains a day to and from Sofia with a journey time of between 7 and a half and 10 hours depending on the route and the train and with the fare ranging from about 25 Leva to 20.
The Bulgarian railway system is seen by the locals as very much the "poor man's" option since buses are usually faster and more frequent but as a personal choice I find the train more suited to my way of travel where the journey is as much part of the trip as the destination and travelling Bulgaria by train does allow a vista that you will miss from a speeding coach.
Not only that but Varna's "Art Deco" railway station (completed in 1926 and recently renovated) is almost a destination in its own right and has its own little tourist services office as well as the usual facilities which one would expect from a mainline railway station.

 Not my actual taxi! by johngayton
Nope, no street signage at all! OK I knew where the street should be and so wandered up what I thought it was but just couldn't find my hotel. The 5 minute walk turned into about 30 minutes of tracking and backtracking, triangulating the area and I knew I couldn't be more than 100 metres or so away from my hotel but nope, no street signs and nope no obvious hotel signs.
It was dark and raining and eventually my triangulation came across a taxi parked on the corner and so I asked the guy for directions - HA!
"Art Hotel, Preslav. Yes I know where." he replied, "I take you, 5 Leva?"
"Is it near?" I asked.
"Oh Yes, near, only 5 Leva."
"OK, take me." I submitted, rolling over on my back with my paws in the air.
Yep, I knew it. The guy drove 100 yards down the street where I had found him, did a U-turn drove back up to the corner where I had picked him up and then continued maybe 50 yards up another street, did another U-turn and then back to the same corner and another 50 yards up a different street - "Here's your hotel sir!"
Needless to say he didn't get a tip!
I did find the street sign the following day (when it was light) and yep, it was halfway up the street, not at the start, not at the end, not lit, only on one side and only visible from across the road if, and only if, you knew it was there! Definitely a conspiracy! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Buses are the best way to travel within Bulgaria, the trains offer the best links with Romania with Bucharest technically 5 hours away, but watch the connection in Ruse, there are often big delays. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The best way to arrive from/in Istanbul is with Nisikli buses, usually there are 2 services every day taking about 9 hours leaving outside the Nisikli office underneath the big McDonalds sign on Maria Luiza Blv.
