The legendary Orient Express train will arrive in Bulgaria's Ruse on August 30 this year, BTA has reported, citing information from the border authorities in the city. According to the schedule, the train, traveling from Paris to Istanbul, should arrive in Bulgaria’s Ruse at 1:05 p.m. and about an hour later it would depart for Varna.

In the past two years, the luxury train trip did not take place because of the coronavirus pandemic.
