Sofia in the spring is more than surprising; the Easter traditions and May festivities set against a cityscape of trees in blossom make this a special time to visit the Bulgarian capital.

The weather swings madly from one day to another, adding even more emotion to the overall fun of springtime in Sofia… imagine a stroll through the park in crisp sunshine, across city squares and past monuments, church domes glinting in the sunlight – and wake up next morning to a snow scene wonderland of white-carpeted streets and frosted rooftops, and retrace your steps through the old quarters. The contrast is magic, quite unbelievable! 

Of course, Bulgaria in springtime has much more to offer than sunbeams and snowflakes – ballet dancing, the opera, classical concerts, and Easter traditions, for example.
