Hi Alexia and welcome to railcc!

No problem with your plan; what kind of tickets do you want to use?

I would recommend to stay one day in Plovdiv (and cut one day of Sofia), it is a beautiful city! :)

I dont know the bus schedule Sofia to Skopje, but you can try here [ux]https://rail.shop/balkanviator[/ux] and here [ux]https://rail.shop/busticket4me/[/ux] and here [ux]https://rail.shop/getbybus[/ux]

Hi Flo!

Thanks for all precious informations and advices!!!

We have bought "interrail global pass" with 5 days within 15 days. Maybe we could take a bus between Plovdiv and Sofia :)

Have a nice day,

Alexia

If you make an extra stop in Plovdiv simply buy your additional train ticket for Plovdiv to Sofia locally at the train station! It is very cheap and easy to buy the ticket - just take a note with you where you write your desired route and train on it in cyrillic letters. ;)
