First appointment
Give the full arrival address in Sofia and the time your group needs to be ready there, rather than using the event start as the pickup time.
Plan the arrival, hotel and venue stages of your group visit to Sofia. Start with the appointments or visits that have fixed times, then arrange the vehicle request around the whole day.

Movement between visits
List every venue in visit order. Tell us which stops need a waiting vehicle and which only require a later collection.
Last departure
Finish the brief with your last drop-off in Sofia, or the next destination if the group continues elsewhere.
Sofia’s airport metro connection is at Terminal 2
Sofia’s official visitor information locates the airport metro station at Terminal 2. It describes a change at Serdika for the Central Railway Station and Central Bus Station. An airport arrival, a metro interchange and a main-station collection are therefore separate stages of the journey.
For a group airport transfer, provide the terminal on the flight booking and agree where passengers will assemble after baggage collection. If attendees travel independently by metro, name their final station and exit when arranging a later vehicle pickup. Recheck current terminal and interchange guidance before departure.

Your Sofia transport questions
Is Sofia’s airport metro at both terminals?
The official Sofia visitor guide places the metro station at Terminal 2. Check your flight terminal and any required transfer before planning a group meeting; a private pickup should use the agreed terminal instructions.
How should I organise several timed visits in Sofia?
Put the venues in order with a required arrival time for each one. Use full addresses in Sofia, Sofia-Capital, and distinguish a waiting period from a new pickup. The schedule can then be checked as a complete itinerary.
Can the group leave Sofia for another destination?
Yes, you can request an onward leg in the same enquiry. This does not establish the road distance or vehicle availability. Give the onward address, the visit duration and whether you need to return.
What should I include for arrivals at Sofia Airport (SOF)?
Use the airport shown on your ticket, such as Sofia Airport (SOF), along with the flight number, date, terminal if known and number of bags. State any arrivals on different flights; collection arrangements and waiting terms need confirmation.
What location details identify the SOF arrival for Sofia?
The airport reference is Sofia Airport, with IATA code SOF and municipality listed as Sofia. It is approximately 7.6 km in a straight line from the Sofia reference in Sofia-Capital. Use the airport and terminal on your flight booking, then give the full final address. The geographic record does not establish a collection point, road route or transfer time; those details need confirmation for the quoted journey.
