It has an elegant name and a comfortable lifestyle!

Sofia is a world-famous garden city. Due to its altitude, the temperature difference between the four seasons is small, so it is not cold in winter and not hot in summer. Therefore, you can see green plants on the streets of Sofia all year round. There are no overly fashionable skyscrapers here, but the city is full of life. More than 600 street parks in the city fully demonstrate the temperament of a garden city. There are also statues and monuments everywhere in the parks or on the streets. Some of them are pioneers of the Bulgarian national liberation movement, some are soldiers who fought for the country, and some are famous poets and writers. Since Bulgaria was once "liberated" from Ottoman rule by the Russian army, the Orthodox Church has had a profound influence on Sofia for a long time. This is one of the reasons why there are so many Orthodox churches in Sofia. This includes the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (photo 1), one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. It is the cathedral of the Bulgarian bishop and one of the symbols and landmarks of Sofia. Every weekend, there is a flea market that locals love in the square next to St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. You will see all kinds of second-hand old items appearing on the stalls, including medals or military supplies from the war period. If you have enough time, you can also visit the Bulgarian Museum of Natural History, the National Museum, and the National Art Gallery. The Bulgarian Museum of Natural History is the largest natural history museum in Eastern Europe, displaying many specimens of geology, plants, animals, and paleontology in Bulgarian history. The National Museum and Art Gallery also display precious collections in the fields of archeology and culture and art in the country. Every June, Sofia also holds the Rose Festival, which is one of the grandest festivals in Bulgaria. Tourists can also participate in it and experience the traditional festive atmosphere.
