5 days in Sofia Itinerary

Spend time in one of Europe's oldest cities, the vibrant Bulgarian capital of Sofia.

Shop till you drop at Vitosha Boulevard and Sofia City Art Gallery. Popular historic sites such as Rila Monastery and Boyana Church are in your itinerary. Venture out of the city with trips to Koprivshtitsa (Georgi Benkovski House Museum, Dimcho Debelyanov House, & more). The adventure continues: see the interesting displays at National Museum of History, take in the spiritual surroundings of The Rotunda of St George (Sveti Georgi), see the sky in a new way at Muzeiko, and admire the landmark architecture of Cathedral Saint Alexandar Nevski.
