Steeped in history dating back to 7000 BC, Sofia has witnessed the ebb and flow of various empires, each leaving indelible marks on its landscape and culture. Today, the city stands as a testament to religious tolerance, with temples of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Catholicism harmoniously nestled close together. As Bulgaria's largest city, Sofia is the 14th largest in the European Union and has been acknowledged as a burgeoning hub for start-up businesses, particularly in information technologies.

The city's rich tapestry of culture is evident in its plethora of museums, landmarks and cultural institutions, including the iconic National Palace of Culture and the mesmerising medieval Boyana Church. Despite being one of the highest European capitals, the city's charm lies in its blend of urban lifestyle and pristine natural landscapes. However, its rapidly expanding population has led to a rise in air pollution, a current challenge Sofia grapples with.

When to visit Sofia

Like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered, Sofia offers pleasant weather and picturesque beauty throughout the year. If you're planning to visit, consider the months from April to October when the city's continental climate gives way to warm, sunny days. Particularly, July and August serve as the perfect time for exploration, treating visitors with the warmest temperatures.

With May featuring the lowest hotel prices and June being particularly rain-prone, a little pre-planning could go a long way in enhancing your travel experiences. Meanwhile, the low tourist numbers in January, February, March, November, and December offer an exclusive, unhurried exploration of this enchanting city. Regardless of the time of your visit, Sofia's magical allure remains unchanging, only waiting to be rediscovered anew with each passing season.
