Train Travel
 

Interested in any info on train travel from Istanbul to Sofia, Bulgaria or any connecting station in Bulgaria.

I'd repost this with amore specific title, since there is only a europe forum. no specific countries. Also, no need to post twice. Just click on your name and you will see any of your posts...

check www.bahn.de - German rail web site for schedules - they cover all of Europe and presumably Stanbul as well.

Basically i believe the only direct train may be the overnight train that leaves Istanbul around 11pm and pulls into Sophia around 9am.

One of the best web sites for Train travel to and from Turkey is;

and the direct link for Istanbul to Sofia & Belgrade by train

Here are the trains from state railways :

They have a stop at Sofia.

Happy travelling,
