  • Sofia is one of the oldest cities in Europe, and the Thracians established it. It later became an important city in the Roman Empire. In 1879, it became the capital of Bulgaria, a year after the country was liberated from 500 years of Turkish enslavement. Although most of the main sights are concentrated in the city centre and can be seen within 24 hours, there are still plenty of things to do and see in Sofia and its surrounding areas. Here is a list of the top 25 things to do and see in Sofia:
    1. St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral
    2. The Saint Sofia Church
    3. The Royal Palace
    4. The "Ivan Vazov" National Theatre
    5. Vitosha Boulevard
    6. The National Palace of Culture
    7. The Saint Sophia Statue
    8. The Central Mineral Baths
    9. The hot mineral springs
    10. The Banya Bashi Mosque
    11. The Sofia Synagogue
    12. St. Nedelya Cathedral
    13. Ancient Serdica Complex
    14. The Church of St Petka of the Saddlers
    15. St. George Rotunda Church
    16. The Changing of the Guard
    17. The National Museum of Archaeology
    18. The Church of St Nicholas the Miracle-Maker
    19. The Monument to the Tsar Liberator
    20. The National Assembly of Bulgaria
    21. Borisova Gradina
    22. Vitosha Mountain
    23. The Boyana Church
    24. Central Department Store (TZUM).
    25. The Independence Square (Plostad Nezavisimost)
