How to get from Sofia to Sapareva Banya and the hot springs
Sapareva Banya has the hottest geyser in Europe, 103 degrees, and it is an hour and a quarter from Sofia. It is a destination for a whole day, not a two-hour hop.
There is no direct public transport that gets there in a way that works for a family. The options are a bus with a change, a rental car, or a transfer. If you are going for the day and want to get out of the water without thinking about parking and the drive back in the dark, a transfer is the simple solution.
The transfer costs €88 per car one way. If you want the driver to wait and bring you back the same day, that is a round trip and it has to be arranged in advance. Send us a WhatsApp message and we will give you the exact price before you book.
