Hi Maame Payine,

You will need a visa, please enquire from the authorities about where you might get the visa : https://www.local-life.com/sofia/articles/visa

The embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria in Accra was closed so you have to contact the embassy in Abuja

All the best,

Tourist visa should do. You can apply while in Turkey - just find the embassy or the nearest consular service.

Travel to Sofia is possible by train, bus, car .....etc.  Check with the city you'll be staying.
