how do i travel from ireland to sofia via the train?

i want it to b a surprise for my hubby he loves s ofia and trains

i would like it to be a non stop train if possible as i only have 7 to 10 days availible to travel

There's no trains from Ireland onto the continental Europe so you would have to get a plane to the continent and then get a train to Sofia. Or just fly directly to Sofia.

Surely Ryanair would be your cheapest/fastest bet?

...Ireland to Sofia ..by train!
you're going to suprise him for sure!!!!And all of us too!

You cant do that from Ireland, you could do it from England, Scotland or Wales. You will probably have to make alot of changes.

You can read this page about how to travel by train from London to Sofia
http://www.seat61.com/Bulgaria.htm
(and I think you should have no problem to find information on how to get to London by train).

Or you can find a different way to get to Paris and to start from there.

By ferry and train to either the UK or to France, then on from London or Paris as described at http://www.seat61.com/Bulgaria.htm
