Currency

Transport
Taxi is the best way to reach the city. When you exit after the baggage area turn right, there is a big parking with yellow taxi cars. There should be a person that would tell you which is the next car in line.

If you do not take a right turn after the baggage area, keep in mind that there are taxi cars just in front of the terminal that are 5-10 times more expensive then those on the parking on right.

The good companies are 'Yellow333 Taxi' and 'OK supertrans". Taxi prices are 0.79 BGN per km during the day and 0.90 BGN during the night.

Once in the city, the only good public transport is the Metro(which has a station just in front of the venue). For it, you need 1 Lev for a ticket or you can get a card for 10 trips.
