Travelling to the Mountains

Useful up-to-date information about buses and trains can be obtained from the following sources: Sofia Central Bus Station (www.centralnaavtogara.bg) and Bulgarian State Railways (http://razpisanie.bdz.bg/site/search.jsp). The simplest way to reach the central bus station (tsentralna avtogara) or central station (tsentralna gara) from Sofia Airiport is to take a taxi.

Crossing the River Marinkovitsa (Walk 7, Day 4)

Be warned there are very many unscrupulous taxi operators hanging around the airport terminals ready to whisk you off at an extortionate price! You can quite simply avoid any problems by making certain that you order a taxi from the OK Supertrans (www.oktaxi.net) booking offices, which are located in the arrivals hall of both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Don’t be tempted simply to walk outside and try to hail an ‘OK’ taxi yourself – there are now at least half a dozen other taxi companies in Sofia who are using the initials ‘OK’ in some form or other, deliberately to catch out unsuspecting tourists.
