Overview
Enjoy an unforgettable walk through one of the oldest cities in Europe!
Sofia will be happy to present you with its millennial history; it will be eager to retell you about the nations that have passed and some that stayed here. Last but not least, it will captivate you with an incredible nature.
During the tour, you will find out the following:
- Hidden facts about the history of Sofia and Bulgaria
- Why you shouldn't worry when you're late
- Why do Bulgarians understand all Slavic languages
- Why tolerance is not a basic European, but rather a Bulgarian value
- Why do Bulgarians first buy a car and then a house
As well as many other interesting facts about life on the navel of the Balkan Peninsula.
After charming and refreshing you with its healing mineral water, Sofia will reveal it's hidden in the mountain jewel - the Boyan church. A true masterpiece of medieval wall painting predating the Italian Renaissance by almost a century!
