Take The No. 2 Local Bus Direct From Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria To Switzerland

In a flash of thrift and entrepreneurship, Blagoevgrad has put on the road previously-owned coaches without paying for repainting. The result? Reduced costs in tough economic times, fewer runs for last-gasp Soviet-era buses that spew heavy clouds of poisonous diesel exhaust, and a more reliable and comfortable ride for citizens.

















The frequent sight of buses in provincial Bulgaria marked for destinations in Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and other distant lands is a treat, although a bit disorienting. 

Google Maps suggested route Blagoevgrad to Brunni, Switzerland: E70. 1,762 km, 17 hours 36 minutes.
