Located in the eastern zone of the city, the airport is only a 10 km drive from the city’s center. The public bus on lines 84 and 184 connect the T1 and T2 Terminals of the airport with the city center. You can use also the metro system. Metro line M4 goes from the airport Terminal 2 to the city center. The metro stop is just next to the exit of the airport Terminal 2. It is the first stop of the metro line. It takes about 20-30 mins to reach the center stop Serdika. The ticket costs 1.60 lv. and it can be bought/purchased from a lady at a pay desk or from a self-service machine. No metro line stops close to SofiaTechPark.
