Confusingly, there are two bus stations serving different routes. Buses to and from Sofia, Varna, Plovdiv and Russe run from the South (Yug) station, which is a 5-minute walk from the town centre, while buses to and from other parts of Bulgaria stop at the Zapad (West) bus station, about 4 km from the town centre. Coaches belonging to the private company ETAP stop outside the Etar hotel in the town centre.
