Hi. I want to buy train tickets from Istanbul to Burgas Bulgaria for one month from now but it is telling me that I have to buy them at the train station in Istanbul. I am currently in Canada and want to get the tickets well before my travels and am wondering if there is any other way for me to buy them instead of waiting last minute until I am in Istanbul (I\'m flying to Istanbul for one day and then wanted to take a train to Bulgaria, so if I have to buy it there then there is no guarantee that there will be tickets available for the day I need).
Please help!

Hi and welcome to railcc!
You cant buy tickets for the train from Istanbul/Halkali to Sofia/Bucharest online; you have to buy it locally. I dont think that the train will be sold out, so dont worry.
If you dont want to risk it though your only alternative would be to take a bus. Have a look at [ux]https://rail.shop/metroturizm[/ux]
Also keep in mind that the train from Istanbul/Halkali to Sofia/Bucharest is the only international train available; there is no direct train to Burgas.
