Overview

Sofia has been a crossroad in the Balkan peninsula for centuries, and a melting pot for ancient people and cultures.

On this self-guided audio tour, I’ll tell you about the Bulgarian capital’s rich heritage and why it’s unique within Europe.

The tour starts at the St. Alexander Nevsky Orthodox Cathedral. From there, I’ll take you down Sofia’s historical boulevards and famous yellow-brick streets, while sharing insights about the Bulgarian capital’s emblematic architecture.

At the Palace National Art Gallery, I’ll tell you the storey of how the missing Mausoleum of Georgi Dimitrov is linked to the fall of communism in Bulgaria. You’ll pass the National Assembly of Bulgaria, the former headquarters of the Communist Party, before the tour ends with a stunning view of the Monument of Saint Sofia, the patron of the city,.

Whether you’re a return visitor or just getting to know Sofia, this 60-minute tour is a great introduction to Bulgaria’s culturally rich capital.
