Sofia to Plovdiv on the Trakia motorway
Plovdiv is the second city of Bulgaria, and the road there from Sofia is almost all motorway. The car leaves the capital to the east, joins the Trakia motorway, crosses the Vakarel ridge and the Trayanovi Vrata pass near Ihtiman and runs down into the Thracian plain past Pazardzhik. The trip is about 165 km and takes around 2 h from door to door, depending on where in Sofia we start.
In Plovdiv the driver takes you to the exact address: a hotel in the Old Town on the three hills, an apartment near the Kapana creative district, the International Fair grounds on the north bank of the Maritsa, the central railway station or an office in the business zones. Plovdiv Airport, about 20 km south-east of the city, is also a common drop-off for travellers who fly out from there.
The sedan for up to 4 passengers with 2 large suitcases is from 100 €, the MPV 6+1 with up to 4 large suitcases from 120 € and the minibus for up to 8 passengers from 140 €. The price is for the whole car, includes fuel and tolls, and is paid to the driver. A pickup at Sofia Airport is possible: the driver waits after baggage claim with a name sign.
