The Ultimate Guide to the Sofia Metro

Hey all! After our previous blog posts about getting around Sofia with the public transport or on foot, it is high time we tell you about everyone’s favorite way of transportation in the city. With this post, we are taking you on a ride with the Sofia metro! We have prepared our next dose of useful tips and tricks for visiting Sofia. As of August 2020 Sofia has 3 functioning metro lines! The consturction of the Sofia metro started in the 1970s. It took several decades before the first line opened. However, it was in the last 10 years that the metro network saw its biggest expansion with two new lines now fully operating (inaugurated in 2012 and 2020) and a longer 1st line that can now take you all the way to the Sofia Airport. When entering any metro station, you can find additional information about the metro lines, the stops, or the timetable, on signs like these: Sofia metro to the Sofia Airport – fully functional.

Guest 75 000

The Free Sofia Tour is very happy to announce that on the 21st of June 2015 our team greeted its guest number 75,000! Even though it was a rainy day neither our guides nor our guests were scared away by the weather. As promised we were waiting for our honorable 75,000th tourist to arrive without taking notice of the coldness and the wind. Furthermore, we had 13 brave visitors from all over the world, armed with curiosity and prepared to learn more about the city of Sofia. We did not fail to recognize the symbolic meaning behind the number 13 which is lucky for the 365 Association, since all of its projects in different cities – Sofia, Plovdiv and Varna – have been started on the 13th day of different months. During the almost five years of its existence the Free Sofia Tour has welcomed tourists from more than 150 countries. They all have enjoyed a walk with us while being presented with the events that took place in the […]

Pedestrian Friendly Sofia

Walk through pedestrian friendly Sofia As goes the famous song by Aerosmith. This time we are not going to sing, but we will walk you through the pedestrian secrets of our city. This post is for all who are keen on going by foot. Walking has always been the primary means of human locomotion. There is simply no way to avoid it and we are doing it all the time – we are walking out of home in the morning, going to school or work, we are walking during the day, we are walking to the party in the evening. We are made for walking and it is good for us. Not only does it help us keep fit, but it also gives us a chance to slow down and discover the extraordinary and unique aspects of a place. Sofia has all the perfect characteristics of a pedestrian friendly capital. Although it is the biggest city in Bulgaria, the capital is ideal for a stroll with its many parks, lively […]

Ден на бащата – 21 юни 2015

Спомняте ли си националната кампания”Да бъдеш баща“, която направи невероятно видео? Това е национална кампания за по-активно включване на бащите в живота на децата. Бащата и майката са партньори в грижите за детето, затова е важно и двамата родители да участват активно в живота на децата. През изминалата година нашето Сдружение 365 взе участие в “Седмицата на бащата” с една страхотна инициатива “Тур за деца и бащи”. Тази година специално за Деня на бащата сме подготвили същата изненада. Времето през юни е доста по-приятно и предразполагащо към опознавателни разходки 🙂 И така: Кога? На 21ви юни (неделя) от 11:00 часа. Къде? Пред Съдебната палата в град София Как? Като запишете вас и вашето дете предварително на info@365association.org. Местата са ограничени. Първите 25 записали се ще получат потвърждение 🙂 Кой? Поканени са всички бащи и деца. Турът ще се проведе на български език. Ще бъде с продължителност около час и половина и е подходящ за деца от 7 до 14 годишна възраст.
