It will cost you about <strong>5 EUR<\/strong> and will take you less than <strong>15 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>There is a taxi company on contract with Sofia International Airport that&#8217;s called <strong>OK Super Trance<\/strong>. There&#8217;s usually a big\u00a0line of taxi cabs waiting outside the airport. Get one there.<\/p>\n<p>You will need cash for that, there are ATMs at the airport you can use.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do not catch a random cab in front of the airport and do not accept offers to be driven to the city from people inside the waiting room.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can hop on the bus from the airport. Every line can drop you off to <strong>Orlov Most<\/strong>\u00a0(the city center) for a price of <strong>1 lev (0.5 EUR)<\/strong>. You will need cash for that one too\u00a0and can buy a ticket in the bus. Bus ride to the center will take about 30-45 minutes depending on traffic.<\/p>\n<h2>Finding good places to eat<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sofia-guide.com\/assets\/classic_restaurants_in_sofia.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"179\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here are a couple of foursquare lists to\u00a0get you sorted on Restaurants and Veggie places in Sofia that have all been tested and are highly recommended:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/foursquare.com\/petyeah\/list\/eat-in-sofia\">Restaurants<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/foursquare.com\/petyeah\/list\/veggie-sofia\">Veggie restaurants<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Local food to try<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"218010\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/europe.wordcamp.org\/2014\/experience-sofia-tips-places-to-visit-food-to-try\/bulgarian-dishes2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/europe.wordcamp.org\/2014\/files\/2014\/09\/bulgarian-dishes2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3360,782\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"bulgarian-dishes2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/europe.wordcamp.org\/2014\/files\/2014\/09\/bulgarian-dishes2-1024x238.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-218010\" src=\"https:\/\/2014.europe.wordcamp.org\/files\/2014\/09\/bulgarian-dishes2.jpg\" alt=\"bulgarian-dishes2\" width=\"3360\" height=\"782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/europe.wordcamp.org\/2014\/files\/2014\/09\/bulgarian-dishes2.jpg 3360w, https:\/\/europe.wordcamp.org\/2014\/files\/2014\/09\/bulgarian-dishes2-300x69.jpg 300w, https:\/\/europe.wordcamp.org\/2014\/files\/2014\/09\/bulgarian-dishes2-1024x238.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/europe.wordcamp.org\/2014\/files\/2014\/09\/bulgarian-dishes2-500x116.jpg 500w, https:\/\/europe.wordcamp.org\/2014\/files\/2014\/09\/bulgarian-dishes2-624x145.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3360px) 100vw, 3360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bulgarian food is just awesome!
