Arriving in Sofia late at night
Posted: Mon March 10, 2008 08:36 PM UTC

I've just seen a cheap flight advertised to Sofia from London. The reason it is so cheap is that it arrives in Sofia at around midnight. So how practical is that? Is it a 24 hour airport where I can change money?

Thanks ;@P

There is no problem to come in midnight to Sofia. Just be careful with the taxi in front of the airport! Very CAREFUL!!!
Just ask for the licensed taxi company. They stay a little sidelong to the airport building. Just ask the information where they are! NEVER TAKE A TAXI FROM THE IN FRON OF THE AIRPORT!!!

HAve a nice stay in Sofia.

Lots of nice hostels in the center.

arrange a price in euros with the taxi driver , some accept such deals, I wouldn't advise you to change money at the airport, they have a very unprofitable rate. In worst case , change a small amount , good to pay the taxi. There is a 24h change bureau at the "Popa". You can ask the driver to take you there so you can change money on the way. it's in the center ,all roads lead to "Popa".. hahahaha

There is a taxi office inside the terminal. Do not change money at the airport, as the rate is considerably worse than that offered by the exchange bureaux in the city. Better still, use an ATM to withdraw local currency.
