Sofia Airport to Varna Destination Reviews
GR
Gian RThe train was comfortable, but not the best.
The train operator insisted on asking us the ticket in middle of the night, while sleeping, even though we already showed him several times. They should ad a method to verify the ticket in automatic, I should be able to sleep. I think the electrical plugs should be a plus service, but it must be said on the site. We discovered that we couldn’t charge our phones in the night while we were already on the train, no one told us that it wasn’t included.
