Getting to Sofia

Sofia is the capital and largest city of Bulgaria, with the main international gateway being Sofia Airport. It is well connected to major European cities via regular flights operated by national carriers and low-cost airlines.

Sofia has a well-developed public transport and taxi system, and the city center is just a 20-minute drive from the airport.

The cost for an individual transfer in one direction is 45 Euro.
Booking and payment can be done through the online system not later than 27 October 2025.

PASSPORTS & VISAS

Bulgaria has the European Union’s Common Visa Policy as a member country accepting European citizens freely. All non-EU citizens are required to have a passport to enter the EU with the appropriate visas. Conference attendees are personally responsible for making their own visa arrangements. You can find out more about visas at https://www.mfa.bg/en/services-travel/consular-services/travel-bulgaria/visa-bulgaria.

However, if you need an invitation letter, please send a mail to yakim@cmebg.com.

MONETARY SYSTEM

The national currency is the Bulgarian Lev. Bank notes of the following denominations are in circulation: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 Levs. 1 Euro = 1,95583 BGN.

There are foreign exchange offices and ATMs everywhere in the city. It’s always prudent to carry a little cash, however, in case you can’t find an ATM or bank office nearby. You can always change cash at the hotel, though the commission will be higher.

Make sure you have enough of the national currency when you plan to visit local markets and shops.

TIPPING

When a gratuity is not included in your bill, which is usually the case, 10% is customary. If service is outstanding, you could go as high as 15%. With taxi drivers, you usually just round up the sum if you have been happy with the ride or for the sake of convenience.

CLIMATE

The climate in Bulgaria is moderate continental with beautiful blooming spring, dry and hot summer, long and pleasant autumn, and mild winter with lots of opportunity for skiing.

In November, Sofia usually has low temperatures and moderate rainfall. Anticipate daytime temperatures around 11°C, while night temperatures can drop to 1°C.
