Experience Boat Tours in Sofia

Best things to do in Sofia: Away from your boating experiences, what does Sofia offer? The centre is an architectural dream with a variety of styles and buildings to view. Make sure to see St. Alex Nevsky Cathedral and the National Palace of Culture. The Regional Museum of Sofia holds exhibits and events, and St Sofia Church dates back to the 6th century. You’ll have plenty to see that’s for sure.

When to visit Sofia: If you want to have a pleasant stay in Sofia, then try to head there between May and June, and September. It’s warm, and the local parks and cafes aren’t as busy as they are during the holiday summer season.

Sofia travel tips: It’s worth bearing in mind that Saturday afternoons the shops close and remain closed on Sundays. So, if you do need to do any essential shopping, then make sure it’s done before the weekend really kicks in.
