Sofia International Airport Mini Guide
Sofia Airport (SOF) is the main gateway into
Bulgaria and it is in the country’s capital. Car hire in Sofia Airport is a clever idea as the airport is located a few miles east of central Sofia and having your own vehicle is more dependable than waiting around on public transport. Getting into the city is easy along
Brussels Boulevard and exiting the city via the north is also trouble free if you follow East tangent Street which eventually arrives at the Trakya highway.
Collect your hire car for your onward journey from the desks which are found in the arrivals hall after customs and are easily spotted. You should try to pre-book your car, especially at peak times, and send a member of your group through to queue as the desks can get busy when several flights land at the same time.
