Sofia - one of the oldest cities in Europe, founded more than 4000 years ago, it always attracted different civilizations due to its strategic location. 6000 years ago Neolithic people were settled. Greeks, led by Alexander the Great and his father ruled the lands around inhabited by the Thracians, the great masters of wine 3000 years ago. Conquered by the Romans , who knew well how to use the numerous hot mineral springs, the city flourished as a part of the Roman empire, Byzantium empire, and the mighty First and Second Bulgarian Kingdoms. 500 dark years of the Ottoman ruling the city continued to play an important role. How the city survived so many different invasions and civilizations? How these events impacted the culture? Who are the people living in this city - Bulgarians, Greeks, Turks, Jewish? Why the city was bombed during the World War 2, what are the consequences of the communist regime? These are only a few topics we shall discuss during our tour.
We start from a point convenient for you. Your hotel, airport or any other preferred meeting point. The tour will last 3-4 hours, depending on our pace and discussion points. - We shall see most of the important buildings in the city, trying to cover them with a certain chronology, covering the key topics of the history starting with Thracians, Slavs, Romans, Proto-Bulgarians, Ottomans till today. - We shall feel the spirit of the architecture of the city by learning who was here and what has been done. - We shall definitely try from the living water of the natural springs. This tour does not include entries into different museums or churches, as the proposed length does not allow. The tour can be customized upon request
