One of the oldest city in the world, Sofia, Bulgaria.

Hello everyone! Hope you all are doing well. In my previous blog, I wrote about one of the most famous mountain ranges of Bulgaria which is Vitosha, located in the outskirts of the capital city Sofia. If you haven’t read it yet then I request you to read it now. As we have explored the natural beauty of Sofia, in this blog I’ll take you to the tour of urban part. Sofia is the capital and the largest city of Bulgaria, which is located in the western part of the country. The landmarks of the city marks the history of more than 2,000 years, which includes Greek, Ottoman Roman and Soviet history. It is said that the human habitation in this city dates back to 7000 BC. Since it has the ancient history, the monuments and structures here are a marvelous masterpiece built hundreds of years ago and there no words to describe their beauty. Sofia is the city where one of the most largest and ancient cathedrals have been built. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is on of those. The building is an awesome structure built in the 19th century with an area of 34,100 sq.ft. and can hold upto 5,000 people at a time. I’ve shared the pics of the same. If you ever visit Sofia, then add this to your to do list for sure. It’s worth a watch. At an approx. 250m distance from the church, lies a Bulgarian National Library which is also called, Sts.Cyril and Methodius National Library. This library is yet another example of a marvellous structure built in the capital city of Bulgaria. I suggest to keep walking along the street instead of hiring a cab to explore more of the beautiful structures made in the city. At an approx. 1 km from the Bulgarian National Library, lies the President office of Bulgaria, and other buildings too. The street is named Kniaz Aleksander Dondukov. All of these structures are closely located to each other and the place is called Sofia Center. Regarding how to reach there, we boarded a bus number 123 from Studentski Grad, Sofia to G.M. Dimitrov Metro station and from there boarded a metro to Sofia University Metro Station. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is at a 5-10 mins walking distance from this metro station.
So, this is yet another underrated country which you all must visit at least once to explore it’s natural as well as man made beauty. Let’s have a look at the city.
