SOFIA 605

GETTING AROUND

The city centre is easy to explore on foot, although

visitors may need public transport to reach some

outlying museums. An efficient tram network covers the

city centre and the inner suburbs, while buses and

trolleybuses are a convenient way of reaching Sofia’s

outer fringes. Taxis are numerous and inexpensive, and

the single metro line runs across the city from northwest

to southeast, connecting a handful of sites of interest.
