Know Before You Go
While a part of the EU, Bulgaria doesn’t use the Euro. The Lev roughly equals .50€, which makes for easy math.
Sofia is super walkable - everything you’ll want to do is in the city center, giving you a max 20 minute walk from one side to the other.
If you fly in, the Metro connects directly with the city! Take the 4 line into Serdika and you’ll be in the middle of Sofia.
Free and Free-ish
The best way to explore is always with a walking tour. I like to do these on the first day, the first morning if possible because they give a ton of info on the parts of the city you’ll want to explore more. It also takes you to the major monuments and sites that you should see, but don’t need a ton of time there.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Emma | Where's Emma Now

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater!
I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where!
I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too!
If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you!
My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny.
I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
