“So far, Bulgaria’s great!” First extensive article about Free Sofia Tour, Sofia and Bulgaria in general written by some of our guests 😉 Check out what Arwyn and Jason from Canada wrote about us in their blog EASTERN EUROPE ADVENTURES: “So far, Bulgaria’s great!” “…pointing things out we would never have noticed on our own, and giving us a very knowledgeable and entertaining history of the city and its important landmarks…” “We learned that, despite fighting on the side of the Germans in the second world war, Bulgaria never sent its Jewish population to the death camps…” “…it turns out that Cyrillic isn’t that terrifying, once you realize you have to throw out what you think the letters are and accept that what looks like a “P” is actually an “R,” “I like Bulgaria.” Read more: http://jcobham.travellerspoint.com/16/

As we usually say – last chance to see The Panagyurishte Treasure before it leaves the country on another worldwide tour 🙂 The treasure is going to Plovdiv (second biggest city in Bulgaria and perfect for a one-day trip from Sofia) and then leaving for an exhibition in the US.

Two early Christian tombs Two early Christian tombs from the ancient Roman city of Serdica (nowadays Sofia) would be displayed in the yard of the National Museum of History. The National Museum of History is not part of the tour yet but if you have the chance, it’s a must-see together with the Boyana Church which is located nearby. “The preserved early Christian tombs at the necropolis of ancient Serdica are a unique project and a new tourist culture attraction,” Rashidov said Thursday at the opening of two preserved early Christian tombs, displayed in the yard of the National Museum of History. “Constantine the Great has said that Serdica was the new Rome. Thanks to these tombs one could see that Sofia is a very important city with a very important heritage. I am honored to say that the United States had the opportunity to support the project,” said the US Ambassador to Bulgaria, James Warlick.
