Driving to Turkey through Bulgaria

Every summer many families drive from Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium through Bulgaria to Turkey. The Bulgarian section runs on motorways that require a vignette.

The route

1. From Serbia at the Kalotina border crossing onto the A6 Evropa motorway to Sofia.
2. From Sofia on the A1 Trakia motorway towards Plovdiv.
3. Then on the A4 Maritsa motorway to the Kapitan Andreevo border crossing (Kapıkule on the Turkish side).

Which vignette?

If you cross Bulgaria within 24 hours, the 1-day vignette is enough. The return journey needs its own vignette unless the first one is still valid. For a stay of several days in Bulgaria, choose the 7-day vignette.

Before you set off

• Buy the vignette before you reach the toll road network.
• Enter the plate exactly, without spaces, and choose the right country of registration.
