Begin your journey relaxed at Goa International Airport (Dabolim Airport), an efficient and professional hub reflecting the region's easy-going atmosphere. Planning your departure is straightforward: the airport is about 45 minutes by car from Panaji, or you can take a pre-booked taxi, which is recommended, especially with luggage. The nearest railway station is in Vasco da Gama, about five kilometres away. Limited parking for 400 vehicles is available outside the main terminal.
You will depart from Terminal 2. For a smooth experience, ensure you allow at least an hour and a half for processing, although the airport’s 75 check-in counters and security checks are highly efficient. While you wait, you can access paid-for Wi-Fi, which is complimentary for Business and First Class passengers in the VIP lounge. For refreshments, snack bars and a restaurant in the domestic terminal area offer light and more substantial meals. You can also browse the Duty Free outlets and other retail vendors for travel essentials and souvenirs before you board your flight.
Sofia is Bulgaria’s captivating capital, a dynamic European destination that's rich in history. As one of Europe’s oldest continually inhabited capitals, dating back 7,000 years, Sofia’s central area is easy to explore on foot.
Get a glimpse of the past by discovering the Roman ruins of the Ancient Serdika Complex, where remnants of the old city walls and streets are visible right in the metro hub.

For a break from the urban bustle, escape to nature by visiting the majestic Vitosha Mountain. Just moments from the city centre, it's a magnificent setting for relaxation with its stunning natural backdrop and accessible trails.
