Sofia is the capital of Bulgaria and its largest city. It is located in the central part of Western Bulgaria, in the Sofia valley and is surrounded by 5 mountains. This makes it the fourth highest capital in Europe - 595 meters above sea level.
Sofia is the main administrative, industrial, transport, cultural and university center of the country. Magnificent archeological monuments from Roman times have been preserved in many places in the city center. One of the reasons for the ancient history of the city is the presence of many springs. In the central part of the city, as well as in some of the suburbs, there are mineral water springs - 49 in number.
Sofia is not large in area - only 492 km² - but with its thousand-year history can offer a lot to its visitors. One of the nice things about the not so big city is that the small and compact center is easy to walk around and most attractions are within a 30-minute walk from each other. If you want to enjoy the most important tourist attractions in the city, you can book a city tour with a professional guide who will share many interesting facts from the ancient history of Sofia. Apart from the attractions of Sofia, for a longer visit to Bulgaria, you should definitely visit some emblematic places near the capital. For example, only 20 minutes from the city center is the Boyana Church - part of the UNESCO heritage. Another religious site, protected by UNESCO, is the largest monastery in Bulgaria - Rila Monastery- a favorite and iconic for many Bulgarians and especially photogenic for photography. You can visit these two tourist sites on a single day trip. Only 2 hours away by car is the oldest city in Europe - Plovdiv. You can get there and to many other wonderful destinations in Bulgaria easily and conveniently by private or group transfer.
