I\'m planning to go from Belgrade to Bourgas (Bulgaria). This website lists a connection, but no information about the price. Is there anyone that has experience with this?

- Is there a night train?
- What is the price for a ticket?

Much appreciated

Hi and welcome to railcc!

There is no night train from Belgrade to Sofia; you would have to use the day train mentioned here: [ux]https://rail.cc/en/day-train-belgrade-sofia-runs-again/n34[/ux]

From Sofia you could then travel by night train to Burgas, the train leaves Sofia at 22:45 and arrives in Burgas at 05:47 (quite early...).

An international ticket from Belgrade to Sofia is about 15 to 20€ when bought locally at the station in Belgrade; from Sofia to Burgas you can book the night train online at [ux]rail.shop/bdz[/ux]
A single ticket from Sofia to Burgas (when bought locally in Sofia or online) is 20,40 BGN; when travelling in a sleeping car you would need to pay 10 BGN extra for a bed in a three-bed sleeper; if you want a compartment on your own you would need a first class ticket (25,50 BGN) plus a reservation for 18 BGN.

I would recommend to buy the ticket from Belgrade to Sofia locally, and the ticket from Sofia to Burgas online; unfortunately the train from Belgrade to Sofia is likely to be quite late, I have read from delays up to 115 minutes; this would still allow you to change trains in Sofia though.
