Vidin is the Bulgarian town on the Danube opposite Calafat, and Craiova Airport (CRA) in Romania is only about 95 km away. With the New Europe Bridge between the two towns, the trip takes around an hour and a half, much quicker than driving from Sofia.
🚗 about 95 km · ⏱ about 1 h 30 min · 🇷🇴→🇧🇬 Schengen, no passport control
Across the Danube
From the airport the car goes round Craiova and takes the road south west through Băilești to Calafat. There it crosses the Danube on the New Europe Bridge, opened in 2013, and comes into Vidin a few minutes later. The bridge toll is part of the price.
Romania and Bulgaria are both in Schengen, so there is no regular passport control on the bridge. Still, carry your passport or ID card, as random checks happen.

- Baba Vida, the medieval fortress on the river bank, one of the best preserved in Bulgaria
