Bulgaria Air's new summer destination in 2026: Magnificent Porto

Which remarkable European city with history, culture, and amazing cuisine is on your list of places to visit, but you haven't had the opportunity to see it yet due to the lack of direct flights from Sofia? The answer to this question may vary for different travellers, but in April 2026, it will be Porto, the emblem of Portugal.

On April 9, Bulgaria Air will launch a brand new route in its flight network with direct flights from Sofia to Porto and back. The flights will operate twice a week – every Thursday and Sunday during the summer season (April – October). The lowest price will be €139 for a one-way flight in economy class. The fare includes free check-in, 10 kg of hand luggage and an additional personal item (handbag or laptop), as well as complimentary in-flight catering with hot and cold drinks, a sandwich, coffee and chocolate.

Porto is a city with many faces, combining a remarkable cultural heritage, unique architecture, and beautiful photo spots.  The city offers many reasons for a variety of trips - from magnificent parks to visits to many cultural and artistic events, modern museums, and an introduction to Portuguese cuisine. Don't miss to visit the old town, where bridges and towers lend visual charm and a sense of timeless value. Stroll along the romantic Ribeira, climb to the top of the Clerigos Tower for a breathtaking panoramic view, visit the legendary Livraria Lello bookstore, and immerse yourself in the art and nature of Serralves. Don't miss out on a wine tasting at the famous cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia.

The destination is suitable for both a short city break at the end of the working week and a longer stay with a more varied program that immerses you in Portuguese culture. Porto is ideal for a long weekend – compact, inspiring, and welcoming. And with convenient flights twice a week on the national airline, traveling has never been easier.

Discover the charm of Porto – a city of golden sunsets, iconic bridges, world-class wine, and picturesque neighborhoods. Bulgaria Air's new direct route opens the door for curious travelers to one of Portugal's most beautiful cities, combining remarkable history, culture, and a modern atmosphere.

Porto awaits you with charming places, countless stories, and hidden treasures. Your next European inspiration begins in April 2026.

Tickets for the new Sofia–Porto–Sofia route can be purchased from the official website of the national airline, via the mobile app, at the company's offices in Bulgaria and abroad, as well as through partner travel agencies.
