Your options compared

Private transfer (recommended) — a driver meets you in arrivals, helps with luggage and drives you straight to your spa hotel; flight tracked, child seats on request, and you can add a stop in nearby Melnik. Bus — runs from Sofia (not the airport) and takes around 3 h with a change. Train — slow and via central Sofia. Car rental — good only if you plan to tour the region yourself.
