Situated at the foot of Vitosha Mountain, Sofia blends millennia of history, architectural elegance, and natural beauty in Bulgaria’s capital. From Roman ruins buried beneath streets to onion-domed Orthodox churches, the city reveals layers of civilization at every turn.
One of Sofia’s crowning sights is the majestic Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, a symbol of national pride and spiritual depth. Nearby, the ancient Sveti Georgi Rotunda, built in the 4th century, offers a window into Sofia’s Roman past. Meander along Vitosha Boulevard, the city’s lively pedestrian artery lined with cafés, boutiques, and views framed by the nearby mountain.
Culture and politics intertwine in architectural structures, museums, and art galleries that reflect Sofia’s Balkan identity. The National Historical Museum houses over half a million artifacts spanning prehistory to modern times, while the Museum of Socialist Art prompts reflection on 20th-century realities. For nature breaks, Borisova Gradina, the city’s oldest park, offers shaded pathways, ponds, and quiet corners in the heart of urban life.
Whether you’re drawn by spiritual sites, artistic expressions, or mellow walks beneath mountain slopes, Sofia delivers a distinctive Eastern European experience.
