 Visit Sofia -
Today, visitors to Sofia will find a typical Balkan mix of Orthodox and Muslim
cultures amid a crumbling Eastern Bloc society with an uncertain future. Mass
privatization has come hand in hand with a decline in living standards and
initial optimism has been tempered by extreme and growing poverty. A young
ambitious professional will pull up outside one of the city’s new chic cafés but
across the street a lonely pensioner roots through a dustbin, encircled by a
group of stray dogs, all eager for a morsel. However, with an educated populace
and a strong desire to see justice and democracy won, once and for all, Bulgaria
is slowly but surely regaining credibility and economic stability. The city’s
motto, ‘Ever growing, never old’, is as true today as it ever was.
Sofia was founded three thousand years ago, by an ancient Thracian tribe, the ‘Serdi’,
and known as Serdica until the beginning of the ninth century. Dramatically
ringed by the Balkan Mountains to the north and the Vitosha Mountains to the
south, the capital stands on an open plain 550m (1804ft) above sea level in
western Bulgaria. Owing to its altitude, the summers are moderately hot and the
winters cold and snowy, making spring and autumn the best times in which to
visit. |

houses the offices of the President of Bulgaria. The public transport links are
good and all the sights of the city are within easy walking distance. Although
