Sofia, Bulgaria

Unlike many European capitals, Sofia doesn’t have a historical center with old buildings and curvy cobblestone streets. The capital of Bulgaria is still dominated by the grayish and bland Communist-era architecture with a few colorful and modern buildings here and there. However add Sofia to your European travel schedule if you like open-air activities, culture, hiking or enjoying live music.
