I don’t like things to be staged or fussy. Fashion moves so quickly that, unless you have a strong point of view, you can lose integrity. Sofia has a very average facade as you enter the city, but once you lose yourself in the old town area, everything changes.Ĭlothes can transform your mood and confidence. This was an easy city to navigate, and it was a beautiful city – despite its ugly, staunch and stolid communist-built surrounds. I had low expectations about Sofia as a city, but after the walking tour I absolutely loved the place. We were exhausted after a long day of travel, so we headed back to the hotel and crashed. Headed over Lions Bridge and made our way to the Sofia Synagogue, then sheltered in the Central Market Hall until the recurrent (but short-lived) mid-afternoon rain passed.įeeling refreshed after an espresso, we walked a short distance to the small but welcoming Banya Bashi Mosque, then descended into the ancient Serdica complex.
