Shipping to Sofia
Sofia, Bulgaria's capital at the foot of Vitosha mountain, is an inland destination: cargo arrives at a Black Sea or Aegean port and travels by rail or truck to Sofia.
Practical tips. Choose Sofia for consignees in Sofia, Plovdiv, Pernik and western Bulgaria, including the ski resorts of Bansko and Borovets. Sofia's growing IT sector attracts many international professionals and returning Bulgarians.
Household goods are cleared under the EU transfer-of-residence relief with an inventory, passport and proof of residence. Many residential blocks have small lifts, so movers often carry furniture by hand.
Sofia's metro and ring road make most districts reachable within an hour, and the city's lower cost of living attracts remote workers from abroad. Bulgaria uses the euro since 2026, which simplifies invoicing for many shippers.
