About the destination

Sofia is a city with a bright future; it's the spiritedly resilient Bulgarian capital that still revels in its own quirks as it strides towards a more cultured and sophisticated existence. Dramatically encircled by the Balkan Mountains to the north and the Vitosha Mountains to the south, Sofia is situated on an open plain 550m above sea level in western Bulgaria. It's this contrast between urban expansion and natural beauty that makes it a captivating place to visit, with more to grab the attention than many other Eastern European capitals. Development is rampant and roads are thankfully being upgraded. It boasts a wealth of boutique hotels and the brand new Metro lines and stations are enough to make Western visitors green with envy. Of course, the Communist influence still lingers in the streets; the country’s relatively brief occupation from 1945 to 1989 is still evident in its neo-Stalinist architecture. Despite this, most of Sofia’s main tourist attractions pre-date this period. Buildings like the Aleksander Nevski Cathedral, the Central Sofia Synagogue and the Banya Bashi mosque are stark reminders of the country’s multicultural history, while the charming UNESCO-listed Boyana Church in the Vitosha Mountains is an absolute must-see. Locals strike the balance between Russian nonchalance and Mediterranean zest and continue to be proud custodians of the country’s hospitable heritage. The Bulgarian language and Cyrillic alphabet still thrive, resisting tourism’s tendency for English internationalism, which is not widely spoken outside of restaurants, shops and hotels.
