Sofia
The atmosphere of a distinctive European metropolis is there in Sofia, albeit for a fraction of the price. In a respectable restaurant here, a three-course meal would cost about INR 890. The majority of Sofia's top attractions are either cost-effective or free. You can plan to go to the National Museum of History and the gallery in St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
Unjustly, Sofia is thought of as a concrete and drab post-communist metropolis with a rough edge. In reality, Sofia is covered in red tulips, yellow brick roads, and teal and gold domes. While Sofia undoubtedly has a dark side, it also boasts a lot of beauty. Toplist has chosen some of Sofia, Bulgaria's most Instagrammable locations to demonstrate this. Sofia is an emerging city with a vast history dating back to its origins as ancient Serdica, from the approximately 2000-year-old ruins uncovered during building the metro to hip, design-focused cafés.
Everything has charm, whether it's a mosque, an Orthodox church, an old tram, or a pleasant café. Bring your camera with you when you visit Sofia and be ready to discover exactly how picturesque this city is.
