A mid-afternoon in Sofia begins with the city exhaling heat from its broad boulevards and a cathedral's domes catching the sun. The guide leads you from a polished pedestrian square into narrower streets where tram lines hum and fragments of Roman walls peek through modern pavement. You feel the rhythm of the city underfoot—cobbles, recent pavement, and shaded park paths—while Vitosha's silhouette keeps watch on the horizon.
