Just a glance of what you can expect
What you can see in Sofia
Sofia is the 15th largest city in the European Union with a population of around 1.3 million people. It has been ranked by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network as a Beta city. Many of the major universities, cultural institutions and commercial companies of Bulgaria are concentrated in Sofia. Sofia’s development as a significant settlement owes much to its central position in the Balkans. It is situated in western Bulgaria, at the northern foot of the Vitosha mountain, in the Sofia Valley that is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The valley has an average altitude of 550 metres. Three mountain passes lead to the city, which have been key roads since antiquity, connecting the Adriatic Sea and Central Europe with the Black and Aegean Seas. A number of low rivers cross the city, including the Vladayska and the Perlovska. The Iskar River in its upper course flows near eastern Sofia. The city is known for its 49 mineral and thermal springs. Artificial and dam lakes were built in the twentieth century.
Famous Alexander Nevski dome with the golden cupolas. An impressive place just few steps away.
National Palace of Culture is placed right in the city center sarounded by beatiful walking areas which you should spend some time.
The triangle of Bulgarian President, Parlament and Ministry.
