The airport sits about 10–12 km east of Sofia’s center; taxis usually take 15–25 minutes (metered fares typically in the low tens of euros), and regular city buses and an express bus connect in around 30–40 minutes for a few euros. A metro line now links the airport directly to central Sofia in roughly 20 minutes. Pros: compact terminal, frequent budget choices and a fast metro link; cons: can be busy at peak times and some remote stands may require outdoor walks.
