Rutt

1. The tour starts with a pick-up from your hotel or address in Sofia at 9:30. The first stop will be the National History Museum – it is located in the outskirts of the town, in the footsteps of the Vitosha mountain, about 30 minutes’ drive from the city center. The museum hosts more than 650 000 exhibits! Probably the two most famous and important are: the Varna golden treasure – the oldest golden treasure in the word, dating back to the 5 millennium BC, as well as the Panagyurishte golden treasure – one of the richest in Europe. The guided visit in the museum is about 1 hour and it will take you through all of the major historical periods, related to the Bulgarian lands.

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.
