Sights worth visiting in Bulgaria

Modern cities full of historic monuments and museums set the stage for a fascinating journey.

• Built at the foot of Mount Vitosha, the Bulgarian capital of Sofia is one of the oldest cities in Europe, with exquisite architecture that testifies to the influence of both Western European and Eastern culture. The most important tourist attractions in the city are its religious monuments, the leading one being the impressive Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Another notable sight is the church of Agia Sofia, from which the city took is name in the 14th century. It is also worth visiting the Boyana Church to admire its unique murals from 1259.
• Plovdiv (Philippopolis) is the second most important city in Bulgaria and for many it is the most beautiful. Already inhabited by 6,000 BC, it has been home to many civilisations that enriched its historic and aesthetic character: the Thracians bequeathed the ruins of Eumolpia; the Romans gave it a magnificent ancient theatre, a stadium and the aqueduct; the Ottomans left Dzhumaya Mosque; and the Bulgarian merchants of the 19th century brought the iconic buildings and mansions.
• Ride the gondola lift to the top of Mount Vitosha and enjoy a breathtaking view of the city. Hike along the marked wooded pathways that will lead you to heart-stopping Boyana Waterfall. The landscape will enchant you.
