Solo travel experience

I was in Sofia this spring, for a long weekend, I did a day trip to Rila Monastery and Vitosha Mountain. I walked the Square of Tolerance (2 churches, a synagogue, and a mosque). Wonderful architecture. I also did a food walking tour that was excellent.

Solo travel experience

I went last year and didn't like it. There are like 10 nice, interesting old buildings but then the rest of the city centre is just shopping, modern cafes etc. Not much to see or do really. Also, if you leave the nice proper city centre, the streets immediately turn pretty bad. I did not feel comfortable exploring areas outside the little city centre.

Solo travel experience

I spent 2 full days there and it wasn’t enough. I would highly recommend the free walking tour. You will see all the major sights and the history is so fascinating. I also did the Balkan Bites tour which was interesting. I seriously loved Bulgaria.
