Daniel RoyJune 6, 2018The Sofia metro will get you to terminal 2. If you need to go to terminal 1, you'll need to take a free shuttle bus.Upvote58DownvoteUpvoted Mar 2
The legit taxi stand is on the side of the terminal, on your right as you enter the arrivals hall, the big door at the end of the hall.Upvote61Downvote
Vassilis TsSeptember 4, 2016Low traffic airport, spacious departure areas but poor level of shops and restaurants. Very basic business lounge. Prices of available fragrances at duty free shop can be quite competitive!Upvote18DownvoteUpvoted Mar 12
yandrMay 23, 2017Let's just say that Bulgarians deserve a better airport. On the plus side there is WiFi. On the negative side just about everything else I am afraid :-)Upvote82Downvote1
Karin GattringerMay 31, 2018Take the metro to go to the centre -cheap, convenient and easy.Upvote7Downvote
Eat, drink, and go to toilette prior to come. Price in duty-free shop is higher than in the city itself. Small airport, 1:30 prior to your departure is enough.Upvote6Downvote
Perfectly ok airport, but not much to it. Terminal 2 is much better than Terminal 1!Upvote6Downvote
alice aliceMay 12, 2014There are not so many places with good coffee or food. The deli sandwiches bar offers coffee for 5x price, than in the city. To go to city on city bus use bus 84 till OrlovMost(subway too)Upvote6Downvote
vprotJune 14, 2013Unlimited free WiFi is an amazing facility; however no power plugs are available so make sure that any device is charged before reaching the airport...food choices are limited and rather overpriced.Upvote7Downvote
Spark electric rideshare cars have a pick up/drop off stop.Cheaper than taxi for single trips, more expensive than rentacar for full day.Upvote3Downvote
Finally after so many years, Terminal 2 looks like a normal European airport with shops, food places, restaurants and spots to relax. Thanks god! It was like hospital corridor before. :)Upvote1Downvote- Trave77erNovember 30, 2017An unexciting airport with a few dull shops & cafes in departures. There's free WiFi in the airport & some charging points at gates. Get your taxi from the OK TAXI stand in arrivals - ignore touts.Upvote3Downvote
To whom it may concern - Becherovka is back for sale in the duty free.Upvote10Downvote
Thomas RainerOctober 27, 2014Food and drink options are very limited and of minor quality just like shops in general. The Airport is small so no need to be there one hour before departure. free and fast Wifi!Upvote1Downvote
Grumpy personnel, overpriced food and drinks, counterfeit cab drivers. Leaving is a lot better than landing.Upvote30DownvoteUpvoted 1 week ago
Take the subway from and to the airport. It's clean, safe and fast. And the cheapest option too!Upvote1Downvote
Writing this connected to Sofia Airport public -great strength and seems to be e everywhere. Staff unusually friendly for being early up on the 01.01.Upvote5Downvote
DmtrJuly 2, 2015If you have a connecting flight and haven't checked-in online, repeat that a few times at the counter. For transportation take the M1 metro train next to terminal 2.Upvote1Downvote- Vassilis TsJanuary 22, 2017Not the best experience in case of a flight delay or cancellation! When we passed security controls, There was nobody to ask about our flight status! We had to call, search in web etc !

Sitar TeliJuly 30, 2013Bare bones airport without much to offer in the way of food, drink, power outlets or friendliness.Upvote4Downvote
Yoav AnerMarch 12, 2012Probably the best airport in Sofia. Don't trust the airplanes without a meter on the front! Or if the pilot is wearing pink uniform.Upvote13Downvote

For water after passport control, prefer the Buy&Bye shop (1 lev instead of 3 other shops charge).Gates are strange-you arrive and see nothing but a transparent door-wait till open,then go downstairs.Upvote1Downvote
Mi RaSeptember 24, 2017People at the duty-free cash desks are extremely impolite. I don't expect a royal-like etiquette, but a simple "hello"or not talking to a friend while processing your items will make a big difference.Upvote1Downvote
paul savageOctober 7, 2022Public transport metro is outside to the left. Approximately €0.80 for a ticket. Credit cards accepted. 25 minutes to the city center.UpvoteDownvote- There is an OK taxi desk at arrivals. Order your cab there and you will get A descent price.Upvote2Downvote
TeodoraSeptember 13, 2014"The airports have seen more sincere kisses than the weddings. The hospital walls have listened to more real prayers than the churches."UpvoteDownvote
Antoaneta U.January 9, 2014Nice post office at the Arrival's hall :) Loads of interesting postcards and stamps ;)Upvote5Downvote
M3 Communications Group, Inc.November 21, 2011Bon Voyage and come back to beautiful Bulgaria;)Upvote10Downvote
I guess it’s a good thing there’s WiFi. Everything else needs a lot of work to make it look a nice European airport.Upvote1Downvote
Alexey NikityukNovember 1, 2011Nice cafe right from the terminal entrance. Free wi-fi near boarding gates. Nice airport whatever they sayUpvote6Downvote
The coffee machine makes better coffee than either of the bars :-)Upvote3Downvote
RutgerJune 17, 2016Use only "OK Supertrans" taxi. Make sure they have a meter. Sky Cafe charges double: 8 leva for a sandwich, 5 leva for a bottle of coke. Rude staff. You may get cursed for not tipping (B6).Upvote1Downvote
Karla🍉👾👻 Zavou-Economou💑June 29, 2019Beautiful, in the shape of o huge airplane! Clean and easy!UpvoteDownvote
AndreasJuly 7, 2012Generally a surprisingly compact and efficient airport. However, the domestic departures section has the feel of a bus stop.Upvote17Downvote
Airport is small and effective. Does not strike you with luxury or style but it's cozy. If you have a long stay here, don't hesitate to stop by Preslav Lounge - costs 15 EUR.Upvote3Downvote1
Katrina TorrefrancaOctober 20, 2016Small airport. If you can, don't go too early cause there's not much to do & not much power outlets. Buy your snacks here to avoid buying over-priced ones on the plane.

You’ll have to wait in line for baggage drop off for quite a long tome, so come two hours before your flightUpvoteDownvote
Oliver MatthewsApril 25, 2014Only three identical cafés after customs, with poor coffee and almost no proper food. Eat before you go to the airport! Plenty of alcohol available though!Upvote1Downvote
Djenai DelerueAugust 10, 2018It’s a lot better than I thought. The arrival was smooth and easy for European citizens.UpvoteDownvote
- Welcome to Bulgaria! There's free wifi here 😎Upvote1Downvote
- Arround gate A1 you will capture the free WiFi of business lounge. Called Swissport :)Upvote1Downvote
Ahh my second home the fact there is so little to choose from is a big draw for meUpvoteDownvote
