Description

Sofia has many famous landmarks, but some of its most fascinating stories can be found in the places that most visitors, and many locals, walk straight past.

On this tour, we’ll explore the hidden corners, overlooked architecture, tucked-away locations, little-known memorials, and subtle historical traces that reveal another side of the city centre.

If you’re curious about seeing the city from a different angle, this walking tour is a deeper and more surprising way to experience Sofia.

  • Orthodox temple of The Seven Saints
  • National Gallery

A free tour beyond the main streets

Great way to get Anna to introduce us to Sofia and Bulgaria. It is always rewarding to have someone that tells you also about other things than the most visited buildings and the history, daily life in a destination.

Very informative and exciting

Anna was a fantastic tour guide and offered a ton of interesting information, unexpected insights and useful advice. Her knowledge on history was impressive and we will definitely remember lots of the things she told us. Join her tour if you are interested in some stories about and hidden gems in Sofia!

Great tour to discover Sofia!

It was my first time in Sofia, I wanted to do a tour of the hidden gems to discover the city differently and it was perfect! Anna is a perfect guide, she explained everything perfectly and even gives me some tips for the remaining of my trip - totally recommend!
