Visiting Sofia in May
May is one of the best months to visit: comfortable warmth around 21 degrees, lush public gardens, and buzzing outdoor cafe terraces.
Sofia is the historic and green capital of Bulgaria, scenically set in an expansive valley at the northern foot of Mount Vitosha. Possessing more than seven thousand years of human habitation, the city showcases a rich architectural tapestry blending Thracian, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and neoclassical styles.
- From the airport
- Sofia Airport (SOF) is located ten kilometers east of the center. Metro Line 4 departs directly from Terminal 2, reaching central Serdica station in 25 to 30 minutes. An official OK Supertrans taxi booked at the arrivals desk costs roughly 10 to 15 euros to downtown.
- Getting around
- Central Sofia is remarkably green, spacious, and very walkable. The city operates an efficient integrated public transit system comprising metro, trams, and trolleybuses. Riders can conveniently pay by tapping any contactless bank card directly on vehicle validators upon boarding.
