Located about 10–15 km east of the city centre, it’s typically a 20–40 minute drive depending on traffic. Public transport options include metro Line M2 (around 20–25 minutes to central Sofia) and regular city buses; fares for metro/bus are usually low-cost, while taxis and ride-hailing can be moderately priced. The airport offers a compact layout with straightforward connections and a range of passenger services, but it can feel busy at peak times and some terminals may be more basic than larger European hubs.
