Tour Details

At the scheduled time, we'll meet in the square in front of St. Nedelya Church, right in the center of Sofia, the perfect place to begin a private tour of the Bulgarian capital. Are you ready to discover a city full of history and tradition? Let’s go!

To begin with, we'll visit the Statue of Sofia and admire the ancient Roman ruins of the city, remains of the past of Serdica, the ancient settlement on which the current Bulgarian capital stands. 

Next, we'll head to the famous Tolerance Square, one of the most representative places in Sofia. Here we'll see how a Catholic church, an Orthodox church, a mosque, and a synagogue coexist just a short distance from one another.

We'll continue the tour next to the Central Mineral Baths, where we will also have the opportunity to taste the mineral spring water of Sofia, a tradition deeply rooted among the city’s residents.

Walking through the streets of the city center, we will reach the Bulgarian Parliament, a beautiful 19th-century white building. Whose equestrian statue stands in front of the Assembly? We will reveal this and other curiosities on our way to the building that houses the Presidency and the Council of Ministers.

We'll stroll through the most monumental area of the city to admire some of its most iconic landmarks, including the National Theater, the former Royal Palace, now the National Art Gallery, and the Basilica of Saint Sophia.

After 2 to 2.5 hours discovering the secrets of the Bulgarian capital, we'll end our private tour of Sofia in front of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
