Agensitur: Sofia

Sofia Bulgaria

Sofia is a city with a bright future; it's the dynamic and resilient capital of Bulgaria that continues to embrace its unique characteristics as it evolves into a more sophisticated and cosmopolitan city. Encircled dramatically 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. This contrast between urban expansion and natural beauty makes it an intriguing destination, offering more to captivate visitors than many other Eastern European capitals. Development is widespread and the roads are thankfully being upgraded. It features numerous boutique hotels and the brand new Metro lines and stations are enough to make Western visitors envious. Of course, the influence of Communism 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 major tourist attractions pre-date this period. Structures like the Aleksander Nevski Cathedral, the Central Sofia Synagogue, and the Banya Bashi mosque serve as 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 maintain a balance between Russian nonchalance and Mediterranean vibrancy and continue to be proud custodians of the country’s hospitable heritage. The Bulgarian language and Cyrillic alphabet continue to thrive, resisting the tourism industry's preference for English internationalism, which is not widely spoken outside of restaurants, shops, and hotels.
