British Airways has frequent flights to Sofia, landing at Sofia Airport, six miles east
of the city centre. After your Sofia flight lands, take a taxi into central Sofia and
you'll soon be stretching your legs around Sofia's hub of Ploshtad
Sveta Nedelya square. Explore Sofia's tree-lined boulevards and the
Byzantine churches and museums here. Look out for Mount Vitosha looming in the
background, then enjoy a post-flight dinner in a traditional Sofia mehana
tavern.
Travel to/from central Sofia
After your flight lands at Sofia Airport, take a taxi from the official rank,
or book an OK Supertrans taxi from the Flight Arrivals hall to take you to
your Sofia hotel. Your journey should take around half an hour. For a cheaper option
after your flights land, jump on bus number 84 into Sofia's Orlov
most, east of the centre. If you have bulky luggage with you from your Sofia
flight, you'll need an extra ticket for the bus.
Best of Sofia
After your Sofia flight lands, get ready to enjoy hidden gems in Byzantine, Ottoman
and Soviet-inspired Sofia. With its graceful leafy boulevards, explore imposing
churches like the gold-domed Alexander Nevski Memorial Church, and the Roman
mosaic flooring of nearby St Sofia Church. Enjoy panoramic views of Sofia
from nearby Mount Vitosha, and join the locals skiing there in winter. Take
in a performance at Sofia's National Opera and Ballet or traditional
music at a Sofia mehana tavern. Before your flight home from Sofia, shop for
communist memorabilia at Alexander Nevski Square, or upmarket designer
clothes at Mall of Sofia.
