Vasil Levski Sofia Airport

Vasil Levski Sofia Airport is about 10 km east of central Sofia. Metro Line 4 runs from the station beside Terminal 2 and reaches the center in about 20 minutes. Taxis and city bus 84 serve both terminals, though road travel takes longer at peak times. From Terminal 1, take the free shuttle bus to Terminal 2 for the metro.

Yes. The airport is within Sofia, about 10 km east of the city center, and is connected to the city's metro network. Metro Line 4 starts next to Terminal 2, and city bus 84 links both terminals with the center. Official Yellow! taxis wait outside both arrival halls, and pre-booked drivers meet passengers in the arrivals area.

Sofia Airport has two passenger terminals. Terminal 2, opened in 2006, handles most traffic, including Bulgaria Air, Ryanair and full-service airlines, and has the metro station beside it. Terminal 1 is an older single-level building used by several low-cost and charter carriers. A free shuttle bus runs between the two from 05:00 to 23:00.

Ryanair uses Terminal 2, along with Bulgaria Air, Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Turkish Airlines and other full-service airlines. Wizz Air and easyJet use Terminal 1, as do several other low-cost and charter carriers. Terminal allocations can change, so check your booking or the airport's flight information before you travel or arrange a pickup.

Yes. Yellow! is the official airport taxi operator, with desks inside the terminals and ranks outside both arrival halls. Order at the desk or use the marked rank, and check that the meter is running. Ignore drivers who approach you inside the terminal offering rides, as they are not part of the official service.

The Sofia Airport metro station is next to Terminal 2 and is the terminus of Metro Line 4. Trains run from about 05:30 to midnight and reach the city center in about 20 minutes, with connections to the other metro lines. If you land at Terminal 1, take the free shuttle bus to Terminal 2 first.

Uber has not operated in Bulgaria since 2015, and Bolt does not offer car rides in Sofia. Local apps such as TaxiMe, Yellow and OK Taxi dispatch licensed, metered taxis instead. At the airport, the simplest choice is the official Yellow! desk or rank, the metro from Terminal 2, or a pre-arranged transfer.

Bulgaria has been fully part of the Schengen Area since 1 January 2025, so flights from other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check visa rules for your nationality before travel.

Borovets is about 69 km from the airport by road, roughly 1¼ to 1½ hours in good conditions. Bansko is about 160 km away, roughly 2 to 2½ hours. Times assume good driving conditions. A pre-arranged transfer or a rental car from the desks at the airport are the usual ways to make the trip, especially with ski equipment.

Bulgaria adopted the euro on 1 January 2026, replacing the Bulgarian lev, so prices and payments are in euros. Sofia is on Eastern European Time (UTC+2) and switches to UTC+3 with daylight saving from late March to late October. ATMs are available in the arrivals areas of the airport.

Sofia Airport is run by SOF Connect, a consortium led by Meridiam, under a 35-year concession that began in 2021, with Munich Airport International running operations. The airport handled about 8.4 million passengers in 2025, passing 8 million in a year for the first time. Bulgaria Air is based here, and Ryanair and Wizz Air have bases.

A free shuttle bus runs between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 from 05:00 to 23:00 and connects with the metro station at Terminal 2. City bus 84 also stops at both terminals, and official taxis wait outside both arrival halls. The terminals are separate buildings, so allow extra time if you need to switch between them.
