Hi ...

night train booking to get the InterRail discounted tickets is not possible to do online in Eastern Europe.
but I recommend the international ticket office for train tickets (it is run by the Bulgarian railway company) at Sofia main station. it is in the left corner (coming from main entry) - beside the night train office/lounge. they have nearly everything for Eastern Europe. just be nice and smile to the old ladies there. :)

[b]Sofia - Skopje[/b] is one of these trains, depends at what time you travel (just click at the schedule planer on the train number to find out departure and final destination - so you know which train you will use):
[u]https://rail.cc/en/bucharest-istanbul-night-train/f1639[/u]
[u]https://rail.cc/en/sofia-belgrade-vienna-night-train/f1847[/u] (you can compare the fares with this train as it is also a Bulgarian night train)

Skopje - Belgrade:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/thessaloniki-skopje-belgrade-night-train/f1636[/u]
or a free day train.

there is no direct train Sofia - Skopje. You have to go via Niš (Serbia) or by bus.

maybe stupid question but can you book a bed in a couchette on your own or do you need 5 other friends to book with you ?

Hej,

there are no stupid questions. ;)

No, you do not have to book a full compartment. If you are travelling alone you can book only one berth in a couchette, no problem.
