Book your private jet flight to Sofia
Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, is a city of millennia with a fascinating layering of eras: Roman baths beneath Soviet-era buildings, the neo-Byzantine Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, open-air markets, and a creative youth culture in the cafés along Vitosha Boulevard. Reaching Sofia by private jet from London takes around 2h55 — Sofia International Airport (SOF), 10 km from the centre, has a business aviation terminal. Bulgaria, an emerging EU market, is attracting a growing number of European investors.
flight_takeoffBook a flightLunaJets and PrivateFly offer charters from London to Sofia. The 2,100 km distance requires a mid-size jet such as a Citation XLS+ or a Challenger 350. Sofia is also the hub for exploring the rest of Bulgaria: the Valley of Roses (Kazanlak Rose Festival in May), the Rila and Bachkovo monasteries, and the Borovets ski resort (1h30 by road).
Sofia hides some wonderful surprises: the National History Museum (Thracian treasures), the pedestrianised Vitosha Street with its shops and cafés, the free mineral baths in front of city hall, and Mount Vitosha just 30 minutes from the centre for hiking and skiing. Bulgarian cuisine — rakia, tarator, banitsa — is being rediscovered in contemporary restaurants such as Uno Enoteca and Shtastliveca. Sofia is also a popular destination for digital nomads thanks to its low cost of living.
