Bus Lviv – Burgas
About the Lviv – Burgas route
The Lviv – Burgas bus carries you from the heart of Galicia straight to Bulgaria's Black Sea coast. The route crosses Ukraine's western border, then transits through Hungary or Romania down to Bulgaria's resort south. Burgas is the gateway to the beaches of Sunny Beach, Nesebar and Pomorie, which is why this direction is chosen mainly by families heading off for a summer holiday with children. It's a long haul: plan for roughly a full day on board with rest stops and border crossings, so the ticket price is higher than on shorter trips — a fair cost for reaching the sea without transfers. Tickets for the Lviv – Burgas bus are booked online, and since the trip is priced in hryvnia, you can pay by bank card right on the site. Check the current schedule, available dates and fares in the search form — peak-season seats sell out well in advance.
