The Tourist In Sofia
♫ Wednesday, September 21st, 2011
Sofia was founded around 7 000 years ago in a close proximity to the Vitosha Mountain and has now turned into a real cosmopolitan city. As it is with other capitals, Sofia is the centre of the political, cultural and business life in Bulgaria. The city offers many international events, as well as theatres, operas, concert halls, museums and galleries. The place is also suitable for congresses, symposia, meetings and conferences because its business centre and hotels are very near the centre of the city. For the comfort-lovers there are many luxurious five, four and three-stars hotels. And for those who want comfort, rest and tranquility, there are many small private hotels in Sofia’s surroundings.
The restaurants in Sofia are also a delight. Most of them serve European and traditional Bulgarian food, but there are many others, offering all kinds of cuisines. If you want to feel the traditional Bulgarian atmosphere, you should visit a tavern. This is the place, where you will find traditional Bulgarian foods and drinks, combined with folk music and dances.
The night life in Sofia is also something that should be experienced. One can go to various concerts, operas, theatres, jazz and rock clubs and piano bars. There are also excellent discos with special shows in the late hours and casinos in which one can wait for the dawn.
