Sofia, Bulgaria Travel Guide - What To See & Do

Our illustrated travel guide will take you to Sofia, Bulgaria.

Sofia is the capital of Bulgaria. It is also the biggest city in the country with about 1.4 million citizens (including suburbs). Today, Sofia is a dynamic Eastern European capital, distinguished by its unique combination of European and Communist-style architecture as well as many beautiful orthodox churches. It is one of the few European capitals with beautiful scenery and a developed ski-resort so close to it at Vitosha mountain.

Sofia is one of the oldest cities in Europe and has many ruins that are spread across the city center. It was founded because of the quality of its mineral waters. In the city alone there are 7 independent mineral water springs. One of the springs is in the central area of the city and is accessible for everybody.
