Varna Airport (VAR) is the main international gateway for Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast, serving both scheduled carriers and a large seasonal flow of low-cost and charter airlines. It typically handles a mix of summer holiday traffic and year-round regional connections, so fares can be competitive during off-peak months and higher in season. The airport sits about 8–10 km west of Varna city centre; taxi rides usually take 15–25 minutes and can be modestly priced, while public buses (lines 409 and others) and shuttle services typically take 20–35 minutes for a lower fare. Pros: compact layout and short walking distances; seasonal crowds and limited late-night services can be a downside for some travelers.
Sofia Airport (SOF) is Bulgaria’s main international gateway and the country’s largest air hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers, low-cost airlines, and regional operators. The terminal is typically compact and efficient, with fares that can be competitive thanks to budget carriers but variable during peak season. Located about 10 km (roughly 20–30 minutes by car) from the city center, common connections include taxis, private transfers, buses (line 84 to the metro) and the Sofia Metro (recently extended), with public-transport journeys usually taking 30–50 minutes and costing modest fares. Pros: convenient metro link and central access; cons: can be busy at peak times and some amenities may feel basic compared with larger European hubs.
