There are coaches to the main cities from Gabrovo, Veliko Tarnovo and Sevlievo, and train connections from Gabrovo, Dryanovo and Veliko Tarnovo. Links at the bottom of this page show timetables of all available journeys throughout the country, though do check with the bus/train station itself in case of last minute cancellations.

In Sofia you can get from the bus station to the airport terminals by local buses, the new Metro system, Choice Rentacar airport transfer (6 lev per person each way) or taxi (roughly 15 lev each way).

You can phone Choice Rentacar on 087 878 5665 - the operator speaks English. At the airport just go to their desk. They also do transfers to hotels.

Make sure you use official taxis and that they use a meter and display the ID card of the driver. Ask what the cost of the journey will be before getting in the cab, and don't pay until all your luggage is offloaded. The most common taxi company in Sofia is OK Supertrans. At the airport and bus station their cabs will be queuing directly outside the building. Below are some pictures of the more common fake versions.
