There are trains that operate very regularly from the airport and go directly to different parts of the city, so you can get off where it’s convenient for you. If you are taking the metro, you’ll want either lines 3 or 5. A cheaper option would be to take the Aero-Bus which operates from 6am until 10pm, with buses every 20 minutes.

This goes to the centre and is even cheaper than the Aero-Bus, however the timetable isn’t as frequent. Lastly, you can get a taxi to the centre but make sure to agree on the fare before you get in. It’s also worth travelling with friends if you can, so you can split the cost and save some money.
