| Travel Info:
Sofia International Airport (Letishte Sofia), 10km east of the city centre, is divided into two terminals – the ageing Terminal 1 and the recently opened Terminal 2. The arrivals halls at both terminals boast cafés, car-hire counters, ATMs and exchange bureaux (although beware that rates here are not particularly generous, so it’s best to only change enough cash for immediate survival).
Getting to town: avoid the taxi touts thronging the arrivals halls and head instead for the official ranks of yellow taxis parked outside. The fare into town shouldn’t cost more than 10Lv (E5).
Alternatively you can catch the bus - No 84 from Terminal 1 or No 284 from Terminal 2. Both run to Orlov Most (C-5) on the eastern fringes of the city centre, departing roughly every 10-15 minutes between 05:00 and 23:00. Tickets cost 0.70Lv from the kiosks beside the bus stop, or 0.80Lv from the driver. You also have to buy a separate ticket for each bulky piece of luggage, otherwise you run the risk of being fined by ticket inspectors.
By train
Sofia’s Central Station (Tsentralna gara), open 05:00 – 24:00, is an unwelcoming concrete hangar 20-minute walk north of the city centre. Facilities include left-luggage, money exchange kiosks, ATMs, bars and fast-food outlets. Beware of pickpockets who hang around the station and the adjoining underpass. There are coin-operated left-luggage lockers in the basement (2Lv for 24hrs), and a left-luggage office (garderob) just off the eastern side of the main ticket hall (open 06:00 – 23:00; 2Lv per item).
Cheapest way of getting to town is to hop on tram No 1 or 7 (buy ticket from kiosks or from the driver - 0.70Lv) from opposite the station forecourt - head for the subterranean underpass to find the platform. Either of these will take you to pl. Sveta Nedelya, well placed for central Sofia’s amenities - get off when you see the Sheraton Hotel looming up on your left.
The taxi drivers hovering outside the station are an unpredictable bunch; check that their meters are switched on or agree a flat fare before setting off; otherwise walk 200 metres east to the bus station (see below) where the taxi firms are more reputable. |
