The legendary train “Orient Express”, will stop today at 12:45 p.m. at the Central Railway Station in Ruse, BTA reports.

The train travels from Paris to Istanbul and will arrive from Romania. During the traditional stop of about an hour, it must pass border control, refuel with water and undergo a technical inspection, and then it will depart for the city of Varna.

Last year, the “Orient Express” passed through Ruse twice. On June 4, 2024 it was welcomed by dozens of Ruse residents at the Central Railway Station in the city and at the end of August it once again passed through Bulgaria with passengers from Asia, the United States and various European countries.
