Hello, can you please tell me if is possible pay the train ticket by euros?? thank you
You guys have never seen the central train station in Sofia, Bulgaria, it is waaaaay worse than the Polish one, however that doesn't make the city less exciting...:)
When you arrive at the airport resist any offers of a taxi that you receive inside the terminal. Use a taxi from the taxi rank instead, from my experience it will be half the price or even less. If you get the 175 or any other bus into the city centre make sure you keep aware of your wallet and passport as there are often pick pockets at work. It is best to sit down and keep you case/bag in front of you and be aware of who is around you.
Ok this station may not look the nicest, but I find it very functional, easy to get tickets, easy to see where your train is leaving from and at what time. Also you get the benefit of the labyrinth of tunnels that are underneath the station and surrounding streets that are full of cafes, shops, internet cafes, book shops etc. My first impression when I visited a few years ago, was that it felt unsafe, but once you have been there a few times you realise it is just as safe as any station in the UK - maybe even safer.
The new terminal is huge, so make sure you arrive with plenty of time. If you're flying from the old terminal, though, prepare for massive queues!
