Bus from Sofia Airport to City Centre

When you step foot into Sofia Airport with the city centre beckoning, buses 84 and 184 offer a way to reach your destination with a journey duration of 40 minutes priced at €0.8 (1.60 BGN). Buses stop at both Sofia Airport terminals, located just outside the Arrivals Hall as you leave the building.

Key Considerations:

• The two buses leave every thirty minutes. The 84 bus runs from 05:40 to 23:36 and the 184 bus runs from 04:50 to 23:17.
• Both buses take the same route. They arrive at rue General Gurko, near the Knyazheska Garden in the city centre.
• The kiosks and machines in the arrivals hall of Sofia Airport make it easy to buy Sofia bus tickets.
• Please note that traffic may slightly affect the average 40-minute journey to the city centre.

Due to space limitations, each passenger is allowed two pieces of luggage. It is advisable to consider a private transfer, especially for large groups or people with children, as the city centre stop is a little further away.

Key Considerations:
