Bulgaria Airports & Ground Transportation
One big question for travelers is which Bulgaria airport to fly into. Here’s a quick guide to Bulgaria’s airports and how to get to the city from each:
Sofia Airport (SOF)
Sofia Airport (SOF) is the main international airport serving Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. A fairly modern airport, it offers a range of amenities including shops, restaurants, and lounges to keep you comfortable before your flight. The airport has two terminals: Terminal 1 serves mostly low-cost and charter flights, while Terminal 2 handles the majority of scheduled international and domestic flights. Getting to and from the city center is quite convenient, with metro line 1 offering a direct connection, as well as buses and taxis readily available. A new metro stop was added in 2020 making this airport very easy to navigate.
Tip: Consider purchasing a Sofia Card for unlimited travel on public transport, including the metro to and from the airport, plus free entry to many attractions.
Other airports
Hey there, jet-setter! Sofia's got some sneaky-close airport alternatives in neighboring cities! Skopje Airport in North Macedonia and Niš Constantine the Great Airport in Serbia can be options, but remember, you'll need to factor in border crossings and potentially longer travel times. The main downside is definitely the ground transportation to Sofia, which can involve buses or private transfers, so weigh the cost savings against the extra travel hassle.
