About Sofia
Sofia sprawls at the foot of Mount Vitosha, a Balkan capital of contradictions: ancient temples, Byzantine churches, Communist monuments, and modern shopping centers coexist without resolution. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral dominates the skyline with Orthodox gold domes. The city is relaxed compared to its regional peers, surprisingly affordable, and the proximity to Vitosha's skiing and hiking makes it a practical Balkan base.
