Comfortable and a bit more expensive, in comparison to public transport, way of moving around the city is taxi.
You can easily get a cab via some mobile app or phone and it will reach you in app. 15-20 minutes. The minimum price is around $10 and it usually covers first 5 km of the trip, after that the fare is calculated based on the distance. Actually you can see the total cost per ride when booking a taxi.
Here are some official taxi services that you are recommended to you, since taking a “gypsy cab” might be a bit risky, especially if you don’t know the language well.

Welcome Taxi
English-speaking drivers will get you to a needed destination! The company fixed transfer fares and you can book up to 6 months in advance. The driver will wait for you at the airport holding a name sign.
If by chance you decided to flag a car on a street, be ready to state your destination clearly and agree on a price in advance.
Beware, the yellow sign on a car does not mean that it is an official taxi. So I’d suggest sticking to official service providers.
If you want to have a city tour, you can book a private guide and we’ll see the city riding a privately-owned car.
