Here is some useful information about traveling in the city
Metro and public transport The price for a one-way ticket is 1,60 BGN (0, 80 €), no matter the distance. Remember that you have to validate your ticket after entering in the vehicle, except the metro where you validate it on the entrance. There are also daily tickets for 4 BGN (2 Euros) or three-day tickets for 10 BGN (5 Euros). One daily/three-day ticket is valid for all the lines of Sofia’s public transport and does not need to be validated in vehicles (only at the entrance of metro stations).

Airport
There is a direct metro connection between Terminal 2 of the Airport (where most of the international flights arrive) and Sofia University. Sofia Airport is the first stop of Metro line 1 and Sofia University is the eleventh stop of the same line. If you arrive on Terminal 1 you can take the airport shuttle (free & direct) or bus No. 184 to Terminal 2 (fourth stop) and proceed with the metro. You can also take a taxi from both terminals but it is strongly advisable to use a taxi from the company Ok Supertrans and to rent it from the desks of the company within the buildings of both terminals to avoid the risk of being overcharged by unauthorized drivers.
