Sofia
Mountain on the doorstep, prices from another decade.
Travellers come here for food, culture, adventure and nature.
When to go
Aim for September, April and October. Think twice about July, August and June — the wettest stretch of the year.

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.
Eating
703 places to eat and drink are mapped within walking distance of the centre — 365 restaurants, 167 cafés and 169 bars and pubs. 93% carry no chain or brand operator.

- italian 27

- balkan 11
- bulgarian 8
48 record vegetarian options and 27 record vegan ones.

Getting there
The airport is SOF. Sofia is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
