Welcome to Sofia
Sofia could be likened to Sleeping Beauty rousing from her slumbers…reawakening to once again share her charms with the outside world. And oh―what charms! With relics from Roman times through to the Soviet era, a vibrant cultural and entertainment scene, and the breathtaking surroundings of the Plana Zavala Mountain range, Sofia is a city ready to reclaim her rightful place as one of the leading lights on the European stage.
