Are you ready to explore a new interesting city?! Put on your comfortable shoes and let’s go… Sofia is ready to show you all its beauty and reveal all its secrets…

"Ever Growing, Never Ageing" -  this motto is written on Sofia's coat of arms. Sofia is one of the oldest settlements in Europe. For over 7,000 years Sofia has been a meeting place of the four directions of the world. Tribes and peoples came and went, civilisations flourished and declined but the city stayed forever. Historically it has been recorded as Serdica, Triaditsa, Sredets and Sofia. Old Sofia is literally buried beneath a modern facade. Late last century Sofia totalled only 12,000 residents. In 1946 – 516,000 residents, and today - some 1,220,000 residents, i.e. 14 % of the country’s population. The capital includes 24 administrative and territorial districts and 34 mayor-led councils.

In 1992, in honour of the celebration of St. Sofia the Martyr, the Government chose September 17th as the Day of Sofia. The flag of Sofia Municipality was also consecrated on that day.

Today there are many archaeological sites in Sofia, that display the city's diverse history - the castle gates and towers of Serdica, public buildings and streets thousands of years old. A large part of the ancient city of Serdica is underneath important modern buildings. The ancient city council (bulefteris) is hidden under the "Sheraton" hotel, while a number of basilicas are below the National Historical Museum. The Roman thermal baths are under the Sofia Mineral Baths and a Roman residence with elaborate mosaics is below the "Rila" hotel.

Among the places of interest are also the Alexander Nevski Memorial Church, St. Sofia Church, the Church of St. Nedelya, National Theatre, Sofia University and many others.

Near Sofia lies Boyana church, which is one of the most valuable memorials of Bulgarian and European culture. The church boasts frescoes, acclaimed by specialists as “the best examples of eastern mediaeval art during its twelve century history”.
