Touristic spots
Sophia
Although often ignored by travelers passing through the capital bound for the Bulgarian beaches, Sofia is a city full of attractions and a young and dynamic atmosphere. Among the main attractions to visit are Ottoman mosques, museums, galleries, and clubs that rock the city's nightlife.
What to do in Sofia
- The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is one of Sofia's postcards. Its majestic architecture in Neo-Byzantine style was erected at the beginning of the 20th century and has a 45-meter-high dome, as well as beautiful stained glass windows and chandeliers that can be seen inside.
- Religious Tolerance Square is undoubtedly one of the most significant places in the city. Bulgaria is proud of its rich cultural past and the peace between peoples it has preserved for so many years. This is one of the few places on the planet where it is possible to visit buildings of the four most practiced religions in the world a few meters away from each other.
- Sofia is a city where parks are part of the daily life of the population. Barisova Gradina Park, located in the center, is the largest in the city.
Plovdiv
Plovdiv is known for being the oldest city in Europe. Archaeological remains indicate that its existence dates back to the Neolithic period. Precisely because of its distant age, the city has received Thracian, Greek, Roman and Ottoman conquerors throughout history. A fact that naturally reflects the local culture.
However, the historic climate of the city's cobblestone streets is in the past. Plovdiv is a cosmopolitan city, and just like Sofia, it has a youthful soul, attracting visitors from all corners of Europe to its art and music festivals.
Things to do in Plovdiv
- A visit to the ancient amphitheater tops the list of Plovdiv attractions. Located on top of a hill overlooking one of the busiest streets in the city. Although in the past the amphitheater was used for government meetings, today there are musical concerts and plays open to the public.
- The Old City is another must-see attraction in Plovdiv and is located on top of the city's three hills. The Renaissance houses today have become museums and among the most interesting are the Balabanov House, the Ethnographic Museum and the History Museum.

Bulgaria's third largest city and maritime capital, Varna is located on the shores of the Black Sea. With the beachfront resorts structure, the destination is perfect for enjoying some relaxing days that can also be combined with cultural and historical programs.
