Urban Access Restrictions in Sofia for buses and coaches<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Vehicles concerned<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nbuses and coaches with more than 22 passengers\u2019 seats<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Prohibition<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nevery day, from 7h00 to 21h00<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Area concerned<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nSofia \u2013 zone Centre<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The borders of the zone Center are as follows: Opalchenska str. \u2013 Slivnitza bld. \u2013 Gen. Danail Nikolaev bld. \u2013 Evlogui Gueorguiev bld. \u2013 Bulgaria bld. \u2013 Pencho Slaveikov bld. \u2013 Gen. Totleben bld. \u2013 Gen. Skobelev bld. \u2013 Opalcheska str.<\/span><\/p>\n

(N.B.: The zone do not include the streets mentioned above, but only the area bordered by these streets.)<\/span><\/p>\n

To visit hotels and tourist sites in the restricted area, it is necessary to obtain a route scheme for buses and coaches with more than 22 seats, carrying out tourist transport<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This route scheme can be valid 24 hours or 1 month (for entry of buses and coaches in regard to the organization of cultural and public events \u2013 concerts, theatre performances, government\/representative events, children’s and educational programs, etc.)*, or 3 months (for entry of buses and coaches performing occasional passenger transport for tourist visits and sightseeing tours in the city of Sofia).<\/span><\/p>\n

It can be obtained by submitting an application together with copies of the vehicle registration certificate(s) and a copy of the company passenger transport licence to the Transport Department of Sofia Municipality, 17, Budapesta str., 6th<\/sup> floor, Sofia, BG-1000<\/strong>. Applications can only be submitted by a Bulgarian entity. Therefore, we advise foreign transport operators to ask their partners in Sofia (tour operators, hotels) to obtain the permit on their behalf.<\/span><\/p>\n
