Hello everybody,
We would like to travel from Brussels to Sofia (Bulgaria), the trip is 1 day 20 hours and 20 minutes. And during the trip we are crossing Austria, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria (before Sofia).
My question is : how is it count in travel days ? Does it count as 1 as we go from point A to point B (even with changes) ? does it count as 2 as we have more than 24 hours of travel ? or does it count as 5 as we have 4 changes to arrive ?
Hope this is clear :)
Thank you

Hey Juliette,
well, there are two possible ways:

Hi Juliette,
I suppose you are speaking of this connection:
or?
So there would be 3 Interrail days required → day 1 for the trip from Brussels. Then day 2 for Vienna->Craiova and day 3 for Craiova->Sofia.
But you can do it with 2 days if you buy single tickets for the stretch Craiova-Sofia.
They are pretty cheap - Craiova to Vidin should be around 26 RON (5 euro) and Vidin-Sofia is like 7 euro…
Keep in mind that you need reservations for the Brussels-Vienna (14 euro?) and Budapest-Craiova trains (3 euro). So it might be cheaper buying single tickets also for that stretch, depending on how far in advance you book the Brussels-Vienna trip. Check prices on DB and ÖBB websites. Budapest-Craiova is cheapest bought via MAV.
Hi Martin :)
Thank you for your answer.
So I understand well, each time you change day you add a travel day ? (taking a train at 19h30 and arriving at 14h00 the next day is count as 2 days) ?
