Sofia, from a Brit who lives here

Weekend in Sofia is a personal travel blog about Bulgaria’s capital: what’s worth doing, where to eat and drink, and how to fit the best of it into a short trip from home.

How the guides get made

The guides cover places Amelia goes to herself: the sights she takes visiting friends to, the bars and restaurants she goes back to, and the day trips worth an early alarm. Prices are in euros and each guide carries the date it was last checked.

Sofia changes quickly. Bars close, fares go up and a favourite bakery changes hands. When that happens the guide gets updated or the place comes out, which is what the UPDATED stamp on each guide tracks.
