The airport publishes a fixed fare of €35 to the city centre – no need to negotiate, and no cheaper metered option at the official rank.
Given the official taxi fare is already €35, a pre-booked private transfer at €50–55 per group (not per person) often works out similar or cheaper for 2–3 travellers, with the certainty of a pre-arranged pickup.
