Happily, everything went according to plan and we landed in Sofia right on time at 2:00 p.m. Bulgarian time (7:00 a.m. in Atlanta). We had an early morning layover in Paris with plenty of time for a walk, Wordle, a chocolate croissant, and coffee.
The temps in Sofia are chilly and the skies grey with rain off and on.
Here’s how travel writer Vinicius Costa describes this city: “In Sofia, the capital and largest city, tourists will find an improbable combination of Roman ruins and Communist-era Brutalism, numerous cafes oozing with character, a lively nightlife, and the country’s best museums and art galleries.”
This evening, we’re staying close to our base at Eurostars Sofia City Hotel – we’re resting up, anxious to begin exploring this city tomorrow! We’ll be here for 3 more days.
