Best Sofia Tours & Trips

Bulgaria’s capital has thousands of years of history. In the western part of Bulgaria, at high elevation, Sofia experiences cold winters and cool summers. Get a breath of fresh air over the city on Vitosha Mountain, or check out Sofia’s many museums of military history, archaeology and art. The golden domes of the Cathedral Saint Alexander Nevski welcome visitors to the 20th century structure that’s magnificent both inside and out. Ivan Vazov National Theater is the oldest in the country and a favorite of tourists. For even deeper history, visit Boyana Church: a World Heritage Site with some of the best-preserved medieval art in Eastern Europe.
