Most popular places to visit

The imposing Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is one of the main attractions in Sofia, along with the Sofia University and National Theatre Ivan Vazov. The Boyana church is one of the rare preserved medieval buildings, while the recent construction of the Sofia metro, remains of the Roman city of Serdika were found. You should also add to your itinerary the National History Museum, National Academy of Art and the National Gallery of Foreign Art.

Public transportation

The public transport in Sofia is extensive and efficient with bus, tram, trolleybus and metro network. It operates from 05:00 to 00:00, so at night, the only transport option in Sofia is the taxi. The same ticketing system is used for buses, trams and trolleybuses, while for the metro you need to acquire separate tickets at the station.

There are two metro lines in Sofia. The M1- Redline links Slivnitsa and Sofia, Business Park. The M2 – Blueline links the districts of Nadezhda, Obelya, the city centre and Lozenets to the south part of Sofia. The two lines intersect at Serdika Metro Station.

The trams are a convenient way to get to the city centre and some of the neighbourhoods. The buses cover most of the city and the suburbs, so it’s useful to travel to destinations not covered by the metro. The Central Bus Station is also a hub for intercity and international bus lines. You can take a bus to the ski resorts of Borovets, Bansko and Pamporovo, or if you’re headed to the beach, there are bus lines to Varna, Burgas, Nessebar and Golden Sands.

Unfortunately, the tourists can be easily scammed by Bulgaria taxi drivers. If you don’t know the route, the driver may be circularly taking you to your destination to keep the meter running. Before you enter the taxi in Sofia, look if the price list is displayed on the vehicle and ask the driver to confirm it.

Sofia airport is the busiest in Bulgaria and serves the capital, as well as the surrounding area. It is 10 km east of Sofia city centre, and it’s easily accessible.
