TRAVEL
TRAVEL
Let’s be green as much as possible. We encourage you not to take the plane, even if this takes more time and might take extra effort. Of course, we know it is not always possible depending on where you are traveling from.
Arrival day: 25.10.2026, Departure day: 03.11.2026
You can arrive in Bulgaria two days (23.10 and 24.10 2026) before the project or leave two days (04 and 05.11.2026) after the project and still get the travel reimbursement. According to the financial agreement, we can not cover accommodation and food costs for additional days.

HOW TO GET TO BANSKO FROM SOFIA AIRPORT
There are two ways to reach Bansko from Sofia Airport:

Metro + intercity bus: From Terminal 2, take Metro Line M4, change at Serdika to Line M2 and get off at Central Railway Station. Sofia Central Bus Station is located next to it. From there, take a bus to Bansko—the journey takes approximately 3 hours.
Participants arriving at Terminal 1 can use the free airport shuttle to Terminal 2. Always check the latest schedules before travelling and coordinate your plans with the organisers before booking.

The only reimbursable travel expenses are: the lowest-fare flight ticket, second-class train tickets, and bus fares. For flights operated by low-cost airlines, the cost of one piece of hand luggage or one piece of checked baggage may be included; no reimbursement will be provided for any other kind of extra service.
Costs associated with private car travel are not reimbursable, with the exception of tolls and fuel in cases of carpooling involving at least two participants traveling the same route (subject to verification via a declaration).
After the project, when we receive all the necessary documents for reimbursement (in their original digital or physical format), we will make the reimbursement through bank transfer.
Do not buy any tickets before the approval of your travel plan!
