About Sofia

Sofia is the capital and largest city of Bulgaria, home to over one million people. Situated in the west of the country at the foot of Vitosha Mountain, it serves as the political, economic, and cultural centre of Bulgaria. The city layers ancient Thracian and Roman remains alongside Ottoman-era buildings and 20th-century architecture. The National Palace of Culture is a prominent landmark and venue in the city centre. Green spaces such as Парк Студентски комплекс provide leisure within the urban fabric, and sites like Градище and Висока могила reflect the region's layered historical past.
