Sofia is a city that combines a rich history with a modern urban atmosphere and offers a variety of attractions for every visitor.

You can start with the impressive Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, which captivates with its architecture both inside and out, and continue to the Rotunda of St. George, the oldest preserved Christian temple in the city, known for its frescoes. The ancient ruins and archaeological sites in the center narrate the history of Sofia from antiquity to the present day.

The national museums and galleries offer an opportunity to immerse yourself in the history, art, and culture of Bulgaria. Among them, you can explore museums devoted to ancient Bulgarian history, national art, ethnography, and the modern art scene.

The pedestrian streets and lively squares combine cultural events, street performers, and cozy cafes, while modern art spaces provide opportunities for mixing music, art, and contemporary events.

Sofia offers the ideal combination of history, culture, nature, and urban energy that makes a stay in the city interesting, diverse, and memorable for every tourist, including young people who want to explore the capital in a dynamic and authentic way.

Sofia is a city that offers many opportunities for a comfortable and fulfilling stay, and good planning can significantly ease your visit.

To move around easily, you can combine walking with the metro, buses, and trams, discovering interesting places, small streets, and hidden corners that often go unnoticed. Don't be afraid to venture out of the city center – neighborhoods like Lozenets and Manastirski Livadi offer quiet streets, modern art spaces, and cozy cafes ideal for resting between walks.

For relaxation and activity, combine city life with nature – a walk or a short trek to Vitosha can gift you breathtaking views of the city and fresh air, while the central parks are great for relaxation, picnics, or meeting with friends.

Sofia is filled with places for delicious food, from cozy cafes and small eateries with local specialties to open spaces with a pleasant atmosphere where you can stop for a short break.

For cultural activities, focus on museums, galleries, and temporary exhibitions that showcase both the history and contemporary art of the city. Try to plan routes that combine interesting places with small discoveries – street graffiti, hidden squares, or art installations that will make the experience more dynamic.

With some planning and a desire to discover, Sofia transforms into a city that offers everything – history, culture, nature, and entertainment.
