With more than 2,000 years of history that saw Greek, Roman, Ottoman and Soviet occupation, Sofia is awash with relics that live on today. Besides all the “must-see” places, your guide will share little-known facts about Sofia’s hidden gems.

On our running tours in Sofia, you’ll see all of the main attractions such as Alexander Nevski cathedral, the Parliament, Sofia University and the National Theatre. The East and West gates of the ancient Roman city and the Amphitheatre hark back to the Roman times. See 13th-century frescoes in Boyana Church, or St. George Rotunda Church, Sofia’s oldest building from the 4th century. Few cities have such a diverse historical heritage.

And there’s so much more. The 19th century Royal Palace, now the National Gallery of Art has beautiful gardens and is an absolute must-see. To see Sofia’s modern diversity, shrines to the four main religions are within a hundred meters of each other.

In your downtime, Sofia offers all kinds of activities to cover every taste. Many people visit to go skiing and hiking on the nearby Vitosha Mountain. However, the city itself offers all kinds of activity once you’ve been on your sightrunning tour. Wander through the city’s huge parks and gardens or visit the museums and galleries for a tranquil retreat. Then discover the multicultural part of the city with its flea market and late 19th-century houses.

Our running tours in Sofia are the fastest, healthiest and most sociable way of seeing the Bulgarian capital. Your friendly local guide is waiting for you, so lace up and let’s go running.
