Join us on the adventure as we travel from Istanbul Turkey to wonderful Sofia Bulgaria.

The restored Istanbul-Sofia Express (İstanbul-Sofya Ekspresi in Turkish) offers unforgettable cross-border adventure.

We bought tickets a few days before at
Sirkeci station then headed to Halkali station. Halkali is at the end of the Marmaray railway that runs underneath Istanbul, connecting the European and Asian sides of the city in the process. So wherever your starting point, you must first travel on one of these frequent commuter services. If you’re starting around Sirkeci, this journey takes 45 minutes.

The train departure was 8pm and we arrived in Sofia a little late just before 11.00 am.

Leaving Istanbul, you’ll cross ancient landscapes and borders, then take in superb scenery as you make your way through Bulgaria’s mountains.

Make sure to bring food although cabins do have the bonus of snacks water and a juice.


The cabin was clean and had everything we needed including a lock on the door.
The night isn't undisturbed waking at the border crossing at Ederine added to the excitement of the adventure.

Don't miss our adventures we had in Istanbul and the fantastic $20 Challenge vlog we made eating our way around Sofia.
