Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Sofia is the pleasingly laid-back capital of Bulgaria. Travelers will find the city just below Mt. Vitosha. Though it’s no grand metropolis, the city is mostly modern and youthful, adorned with a handful of Ottoman mosques and onion-dome-shaped churches. Excavation work during the city’s metro construction recently unveiled a vast number of Roman ruins that date back nearly 2000 years. Away from the boulevards and the buildings, visitors will find manicured gardens and vast parks that offer a pleasant respite. Outdoor enthusiasts will be a short bus trip away from the hiking trails and ski slopes of Mt Vitosha. First-timers should be sure to check out the St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral, St. George Rotunda, and Vitosha Boulevard.
