1. Our adventure begins at the National Archaeological Institute and Museum, founded in 1894. Situated in the medieval Boyuk Mosque, built in 1494, this museum houses a fascinating array of artifacts across two floors, curated by historical period. Unravel the secrets of ancient civilizations as your guide escorts you through the Prehistoric Hall, the Vault of Thracian Treasures, and galleries dedicated to the Classical Period and the Middle Ages. The next leg of our exploration takes us to the Sofia History Museum, nestled within the former Central Mineral Bathhouse, constructed in 1913. This remarkable and iconic Sofia landmark offers a permanent exhibition spanning over 8,000 years. Journey through time in its eight thematic halls, discovering treasures from antiquity, the power and spirit of the past, the dynasty's ties to Western Europe, the evolution of a Sofia street, state and municipal institutions, and the homes, clothing, and cultural vibrancy of Sofia's citizens.

About Sofia

Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, lies below Vitosha mountain, mixing Roman ruins, golden-domed churches, mineral springs and a busy café culture.

Sofia sits in a high basin at the foot of Mount Vitosha, and its centre layers Roman Serdica, Orthodox Bulgaria and the Ottoman and Soviet eras. The gold-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, completed in the early twentieth century, is the city's best-known building. Close by are the fourth-century rotunda of St George, the Banya Bashi Mosque and the remains of Roman streets that show through glass in the metro stations.
