## How to find ISS pass times in Bulgaria
Use this page as a directory for Bulgaria: compare the major-city outlook above, then open your city for a full local forecast.
1. Browse the regions or cities listed for Bulgaria (or start from a major city in the outlook above).
2. Open a city page to see the next 72 hours of visible passes in that city’s local timezone, with direction, elevation and cloud cover.
3. Recheck close to the pass—orbital elements update regularly, and cloud cover can change.
A pass over Bulgaria is listed as visible only when the station is sunlit, at least 10° above the horizon, and the local sky is dark enough for naked-eye viewing. Not every overhead flight meets those conditions.
