More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a cobbled square, tires clicking as the city exhales around you — tram bells, café chatter, the low green of parks offering immediate shelter. Sofia hands you options: flat boulevards that cut through Neoclassical facades, tree-lined parks that slope toward Vitosha’s foothills, and gravel paths that flirt with forested ridgelines.
