How prayer times are calculated in Bulgaria

Times for Bulgaria use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC+2, UTC+3 in summer). In the capital Sofia, Fajr is about 3:32 AM and Maghrib 9:08 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 6:11 AM and Maghrib at 4:56 PM. Daylight there ranges from 9 h 02 min to 15 h 20 min.

Our cities in Bulgaria stretch from Kyustendil in the west to Varna in the east, and from Silistra in the north to Petrich in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Varna about 21 minutes before Kyustendil, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Sofia cannot replace that of your own city.

Ramadan in Bulgaria

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected on 8 February 2027), the fast in Sofia lasts about 11 h 51 min at the start of the month and 13 h 09 min at the end, with imsak at 5:48 AM and iftar at 5:49 PM on the first day. Times differ from one city to another, so open your city’s page for the exact imsak and iftar times.

To find your city quickly, type its name in the search box at the top of the page, or go through the regions above. On every page you will find today’s times with a countdown, a monthly timetable ready to print and links to nearby cities.
