Holiday In Sofia

Why would you ever go to Bulgaria? We’ll tell you why. You go for the incredible food like skara.

You go to make friends from all over the world. You go to see the beautiful sites in the capital city, like the Boyana Church and the National Gallery of Foreign Art. That’s why you take Sofia holidays. Need we say more? Of course we do.

Things to Do in Sofia

One of the first things you’ll do on your Sofia holiday is the splendid architecture throughout the city. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Sveti Sedmochislenitsi and the Church of St. George are just three of the must-see attractions here. An easy way to eye-guzzle all the buildings on your checklist is to take the free Sofia city tour.

All right, enough with all that building stuff. Let’s see what kind of apples you have on you by taking a day hike up the slopes of Vitosha. Actually, it’s not scary at all, but rather a tranquil activity on of the country’s most notable natural features. If you make it during winter, you’ll be able to hit the slopes like Bode Miller. Just be sure to keep those tips up!

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Because you saved so much money with Sofia packages, why not spend a good chunk of it shopping? Take a wad of levs to the Mall of Sofia, a four-story shopping centre downtown, and shop at any of the big-name stores you’d find at home. But if you want to escape the hordes of shoppers in the upscale malls, make your way to the Sofia Flea Market, where you can bargain your way into owning a beautiful piece of art and many other souvenirs. Get four wheels from lastminute.co.nz’s Sofia car hire options in order to get to all the shopping centres on a whim.

When it comes to eating, the Bulgarians don’t mess around. Take your appetite over to the district of Vitosha and take your pick from a number of traditional restaurants. One bite of musaka—it’s kind of like lasagne—and you’ll go numb. Well, not really, but it’s very good. And a holiday to Sofia is wasted if you don’t chow down a healthy serving of Kazanlak donuts.

When the sun tucks itself in for the evening, this city really comes alive. Head to a nightclub and dance the night away with the locals as techno bursts your eardrums. Belly-up at one of the bars in the Studentski grad and mingle with the local college crowd. If you’re feeling sophisticated, try some of the local vino at a swanky wine bar.
