About the Odesa – Plovdiv route
The Odesa – Plovdiv bus runs to Bulgaria's second-largest city, set inland on the Upper Thracian Plain. The route passes through Moldova and Romania, crosses the Danube, and ends at the Plovdiv-South coach station on Hristo Botev Boulevard. Plovdiv is one of Europe's oldest continuously inhabited cities: a Roman theatre, an old town of Revival-era houses, and a stint as European Capital of Culture in 2019. Unlike the coast, the corridor is less seasonal — it carries tourism, work and study travel alike.
