Sofia and related destinations

Beneath the golden domes of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Sofia reveals itself as a city where Roman ruins peek between communist blocks and stylish cafes. The yellow-brick lanes of Vitoshka Boulevard offer prime people-watching while sipping Bulgaria's potent coffee. At the Central Mineral Baths, admire the ornate facade before heading to nearby hot springs where locals have soaked for centuries. The Ivan Vazov National Theatre stands regally amid Borisova Gradina Park's leafy paths. Don't miss the ancient Serdica ruins beneath modern streets, casually incorporated into subway stations as if finding 2000-year-old mosaics during your commute is perfectly normal.
