A taxi from Sofia Airport to the city center is a convenient, direct option: the trip usually takes around 20–30 minutes outside peak hours and can be longer in heavy traffic. Official taxis wait at the designated stands outside the terminals and use a meter; fares to central locations commonly range from about 15–25 BGN (roughly 8–13 EUR) depending on route and traffic.
To avoid unlicensed rides, pick a car from the airport taxi desk, confirm the meter is running and agree on any extra charges (luggage, waiting) up front — drivers often speak some English, making taxis a straightforward way to reach hotels, stations and main sights.
