(Last Updated On: 25/05/2021)
Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, isn’t the most popular destination among European cities. But this is actually a really cool place to visit, with numerous great things to do there and a wonderful atmosphere.
Sofia can be also a great base to explore some of the best places to visit in Bulgaria and even beyond. There are many amazing places nearby that you can visit as day trips from Sofia and you should definitely consider them when planning your Bulgaria itinerary.
I was lucky to visit Sofia on a few occasions and each time I also went for at least one of Sofia day trips. Many of them can be easily doable by public transport, other places are in a bit remote locations and a tour is the best option.
An international team of restorers is racing against time to save the precious mosaics of a giant communist-era building sat atop a mountain peak in Bulgaria.
The UFO-shaped Monument House of the Bulgarian Communist Party was built between 1971 and 1984, to celebrate the history of the party.
The memorial on Buzludzha mountain is one of the most spectacular projects of the Bulgarian communist regime.
Its mosaics are made of more than two million pieces and cover an area of around 1,000 square metres.
But, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the construction was abandoned and its works of art severely damaged by vandalism.
