It is not the most convenient transport option, as the routes are not very frequent, and you may end up waiting for long before the next bus. Also, you need to transfer from the airport to the Central Bus station which is the Sofia city center.
Traveling by taxi to get to Bansko from Sofia Airport is another option. It is considered a convenient transport option as it offers a door-to-door service as it picks you up from the airport and takes you to the destination you want in Bansko. The taxi fare for the ride from Sofia Airport to Bansko is about 80 euros per 4 passengers and it is about a 2-hour drive under normal traffic. They might charge you extra for any additional passenger or luggage.
You can find the yellow official caps outside the Arrivals Hall at both airport terminals. Before entering a taxi you need to book a ride at the counters before exiting the Terminal. They will give you a slip which you will give to the driver and pay at the end of your trip. Keep in mind to check the telephone number on the slip matches the number of the taxi. Otherwise, it might not be legit. It is also important to know that taxis will count the final fare depending on the traffic along the way.
Private transfer is a good option if you are traveling with your family or with a group of friends, as you get the privacy and comfort you need. For those travelers who value their time and don’t want to waste it standing in queues to get a taxi or a bus, we recommend you pre-book an AtoB transfer online.
