Sofia Highlights Itinerary

◾ The Bells
Start your Sofia highlights tour with a convenient pick-up from your centrally located hotel and head to Vitosha mountain to see the city from above and admire incredible views. Next, head to one of the most interesting and significant monuments from the Communist era park "The Bells". The park was constructed in 1979 by the daughter of the last Communist leader of Bulgaria through an initiative called "The flag of peace". Children from both sides of The Iron curtain were meeting each other and making bells which are presented in the park.

◾ National Museum of History
Continue your Sofia highlights journey with a visit to the National History Museum. This will be a great introduction to Bulgarian history. You will learn how intense was life in the Balkans and how ancient is Bulgaria.

◾ Ancient Serdica Archaeological Complex
Then, head toward the historical center of Sofia. You will visit one more museum, the Sofia History Museum to learn about the 20th-century monarchy period when Sofia became the center of the country. During the Sofia highlights you will also see the remains of the Roman city of Serdica, St. Sofia church, and the Rotonda of St. George. Follow your informative guide and see more highlights including Alexander Nevski's Cathedral, the symbol of the city, the monarchy palace, Sofia University's main building, a piece of art from the very late 19th century, the parliament, and of course the old communist administrative center.
