Your guide will take you around all of the interesting sites in the center of Sofia- the Cathedral, the Basilica, the Presidency, the Roman heritage, and others- and will tell you about their history as well as about the overall history of Sofia and Bulgaria. While you enjoy the sightseeing tour, your guide will also take you to some ‘hidden’ places, which you will hardly find on your own. In these places you will have the chance to try some of the most famous Bulgarian drinks and foods such as: “ayran”- salty yogurt drink, “banithsa”- pastry with white cheese, “shopksa salad”- the traditional Bulgarian salad with tomatoes and cucumbers, local “meze” (salami), home-style bread and some sweets like “baklava”.
