Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, was once created around a spring that nowadays is the city’s centre.

If you are visiting Sofia for the first time try to wonder around the streets and the city will lead you to the right places. There are many archaeological treasures, monuments, museums and churches to visit around the city.
