Air
Bulgaria has good air links with numerous European cities, as well as some cities in the
Middle East, with Sofia being the main entry point. There are currently no direct flights to
Bulgaria from further afield, and so visitors from, for example, North America or Aus-
tralia will need to pick up a connecting flight in Europe. Varna and Burgas have the only
other international airports in Bulgaria, and these are particularly busy during the summer
when they are used by charter flights.
