Did you know Sofia is one of the oldest capitals in Europe? Just imagine the amount of (secret) stories it has to tell. On this self-guided walk, you’ll discover poetry on the walls, be amused by a peculiar story of gold figures on the National Theatre, and refresh by the mineral water springs. Explore Sofia’s centre by solving fun location-based riddles and following in the footsteps of the creator with Bulgarian roots, Alex. You’ll come across ancient ruins, admire majestic churches and unlock stories of mighty empires and communist regimes that shaped the city over its rich history.

This playful walk across Sofia sharpens your senses and encourages you to appreciate the most wonderful – and often hidden – details around you. Whether you know the centre of Sofia or just start exploring here, this experience gives you a perspective on discovery that will inspire your curiosity wherever you go next.

We know you’ll love our experiences, but if this is your first, rest assured - you can solve up to three riddles and still get a full refund, or in case of the Wonder Walks - all subscription plans come with one week free trial. See our T&Cs here.
