Sofia

Sofia occupies a broad mountain basin in western Bulgaria, framed by Vitosha Mountain to the south and the Balkan Mountains to the north. Bulgaria’s capital is also its principal political, economic and cultural centre, where major boulevards and modern districts stand beside remnants of ancient Serdica. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is among the city’s defining landmarks, while the UNESCO-listed Boyana Church lies on the lower slopes of Vitosha. The Iskar River crosses the wider Sofia area, adding a waterway to this inland setting. Browse additional webcams nearby to understand how Sofia sits between its surrounding mountains.
