Ready-Made Travel Itineraries in Bulgaria and Beyond

Planning a short trip around Bulgaria or thinking of travelling from Sofia to a neighbouring country? This collection features interactive itineraries for 1-4 days, from exploring cities and their main attractions to short trips beyond Bulgaria. Each itinerary includes a time-based schedule, a list of places to visit and an estimated trip budget.

Use a ready-made itinerary as a starting point, then adapt it to your interests, the length of your trip and the size of your group. You can change activities, edit titles and descriptions, adjust timings and save a plan that suits you to revisit before your trip.

All changes you make to your route are stored only in your browser. They are not shared with anyone or saved on a server. Route planning requires no registration and is completely free.

How the Itinerary Collection Works

To find a suitable plan, use the filter buttons above the collection. They help narrow down the options based on the available criteria, making it easier to find itineraries for your preferred duration or destination. The collection includes 1-3 day trips from Sofia, as well as ideas for exploring Bulgaria and travelling from the country to neighbouring states.

Each card contains a separate itinerary, with activities arranged in sequence and time allocated to each part of the day. Open a card that interests you, review the schedule and decide which stops to keep. You do not have to follow the itinerary to the minute: remove places that do not appeal to you, add your own ideas or rearrange activities to suit your pace.

How to Read the Trip Budget

The budget section provides an estimated trip cost broken down into the main expenses: transport, accommodation, food and visits to museums or other attractions. Three budget levels are available, making it easier to compare the expected costs with your preferred travel style.

The total is an estimate for the selected itinerary, not a guaranteed trip cost. Actual expenses depend on your travel dates, accommodation availability, mode of transport, group size and the places you choose to visit. Keep these factors in mind when planning your Sofia trip budget or estimating the cost of travelling around Bulgaria.

Important: Editing the itinerary hides the budget automatically. The budget estimate is calculated only for the original itinerary. Reset your changes to make the budget available again.
