Sofia's main airport is located 10km (6 miles) east of the city centre. The airport is bright, modern and smoke-free (except in designated café areas) and its two terminals have the capacity to serve 2.5 million passengers a year, a figure bound to increase in the near future. A free shuttle bus runs every 30 minutes between Terminal 1 and the new Terminal 2 buildings, 1km (0.6 miles) apart.
Airport facilities: Facilities include several 24-hour bureaux de change and an ATM, left-luggage, bars, restaurants, fast-food outlets, a free Internet hotspot zone and car hire from Avis, Hertz and Sixt. Business-class lounges are provided by some airlines.
Transport to the city: The public transport bus 84 runs a frequent service (every 10 or 15 minutes, 0500-2400) between the airport and Sofia University, close to the city centre (journey time - 20 minutes). Bus 284 operates between the new Terminal 2 and the university, also every 10-15 minutes. Tickets can be bought from the kiosk near the bus stop or directly from the driver. Taxis are also readily available, and all drivers are obliged to use the meter. The fare should be around Lv10-12 to the city centre.
