My trips
Sofia is the capital of Bulgaria and is situated in the western part of the country, at the northern foot of the Vitosha mountain, in the Sofia Valley that is surrounded by the Balkan mountains to the north. The valley has an average altitude of 550 metres (1,800 ft) but is surrounded by comparatively high mountains on all sides which gives the opportunity to have a look on it from above by many directions. The city is also rich with 49 thermal and mineral springs which was one of the main reasons for its establishment in ancient times. Through the years Sofia was home of the Thracian tribes, Romans, three Bulgarian kingdoms and Ottoman turks.
For me (and for many guests) my city is spectacular with its mixture of architecture styles and with its green areas (when you cycling here you could always plan at least the half of your route to pass through gardens and parks).

About me
My name is Stefan. I was born and grew up in the beautiful city of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. I have a Bachelor's degree in Cultural-historical heritage, and master's degree in Cultural tourism. The last that I've lately studied was a master degree in "Urban studies" to develop my understanding of the city structure and to have the knowledge to speak about Sofia not only with historical facts. In the last few years I also spent a lot of my time exploring my country and I've found a lot of spectacular places which I'm excited to share with curious travelers. I can ownestly say that I know Sofia perfectly in every aspect with all of its hidden beauties that even most of the locals don’t know because in my everyday job I’m a delivery and in my days off I love to hang around here, so I don’t stop exploring it! I'm passionate about cycling and prefer to do trips by bike. I drive as well and love hiking and kayaking, so I'm ready to guide you around by any mode of travel.
