Vasil Levski Sofia Airport is Bulgaria's main international gateway, ensuring a smooth start to your journey. As a key hub, the airport connects you to major European business centres and global destinations.
Since it's located just 10 kilometres east of central Sofia, you can choose from several convenient transport options. Drivers can utilise various secure parking zones, including P3 for standard parking, P4 for long-term stays, and P5 for short-term stays and drop-offs or pick-ups. If you're using public transport, hop onto the metro to reach the airport easily from the city centre.
Thanks to advanced baggage handling and biometric screening, you can seamlessly pass through security and border control. Before proceeding to your boarding gate, relax in the Sala VIP lounge, located after security on the second floor. You can also admire the airport's modern infrastructure, including the striking 50-metre control tower.
The Maldives is a tropical destination boasting crystal-clear oceans and powder-soft white sand. Moving between the islands is an experience in itself. Take a speedboat or scenic seaplane to reach your chosen location, as the archipelago is made up of over 1,100 stunning coral islands.
The main attraction of the Maldives is the natural environment, where the rhythm of life is dictated by the ocean. Beneath the surface, a vibrant world awaits. Explore the colourful coral reefs through world-class diving and snorkelling, and admire a rich tapestry of aquatic life. This is the ultimate escape if you're seeking serenity in the Indian Ocean.
If you wish to go beyond the resorts, take a water taxi to the nation's capital, Malé. Here, you can taste a slice of authentic Maldivian culture away from the idyllic resorts. Wander around local markets or spoil yourself at a variety of other shopping outlets. Remember to stop by the historic Old Friday Mosque, one of the most important structures in the capital.
