Sofia Travel Guide

Sofia , the capital of Bulgaria, is one of the oldest cities in Europe- around seventy centuries old, with some of the most amazing sights to see in this part of the world. It’s a city with a chequered past ruled by the Ottomans, by the communists- and now ruled by hordes of pleasure-seeking tourists. And with good reason too. Sofia offers, even though this may sound pretty clichéd, something for everybody.

The city has some of East Europe best architecture - beautiful cathedrals and mosques, including the famous Aleksander Nevski Cathedral, busy marketplaces and a vibrant nightlife, and even a ski resort - Mount Vitosha - right next door. Little wonder then, that tourists visiting Bulgaria don’t feel the need to go beyond the capital.
