Sofia with Knife, Fork and Shaker

This tour takes you through downtown Sofia for a day, with food and drink at the center of it all. Instead of a long list of sights, you'll find a series of eateries with different cuisines, linked by short walks. You'll get to know the center almost by accident as you eat your way from stop to stop.

The day starts with brunch at Cafe 1920 in the northern part of the center. A short walk takes you to the Pretty House, a photo stop at a striking façade. For lunch, head to Egur Egur, where Armenian dishes await. After that, you'll have time for a stroll before trying Bulgarian bites at Q-Ftetaria. A longer break in the late afternoon gives you a chance to rest.

In the evening, you'll sit down to Greek sharing plates at Pappous Tsipouradiko. Afterward, you'll move on to Cocktail Bar Katerina and end the day at the Sense Rooftop Bar with a view over the city. The tour suits you if you like trying new things, would rather spend time in restaurants than in museums, and want a day with a relaxed but varied rhythm. All routes are short and easy to cover on foot.
