🇧🇬 Free and Free-ish Things to do in Sofia, Bulgaria
Bulgaria's capital is the perfect weekend getaway. Great food, fascinating history, and interesting architecture hits the trifecta!
Free Walking Tours
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.
I did a Free Sofia Tour and loved it! The guides are funny and knowledgable, and it gives a great overview of the history without getting too detailed.
A quick soapbox moment: please tip your guides! They’re called free tours, but the idea is that your guide is working for tips. They just took you around their city for hours, giving you all their expertise. Even if you can only tip a bit, it helps.
