The tour will start in front of one of the symbols of Sofia, Alexander Nevski Cathedral. After a few words about this fantastic monument the tour will continue to a typical Bulgarian snack bar. The short walk after will lead to Hagia Sofia Church, built in 6th century and serving a distinct history of the Bulgarian capital, a site full of energy and mystery. We will continue passing through the Sofia University, the Parliament and the statue of King Liberator, which are the main sites of the Bulgarian capital and are symbols of the country's history in the last centuries. Stop for a breakfast, which includes a taste of a traditional Bulgarian morning meal of banitsa and ayryan.
Banitsa is delicious small pastry delight, prepared from dough and cheese, sometimes meat or nettle. It is unique food for Bulgaria and Balkans. The ayryan is prepared from yogurt and gives the final touch of the breakfast. We will continue the walk along the narrow streets, which are part of the Old Sofia town and maintain a history spanning over many centuries. Our tour will leads us to Graf Ignatiev street, where a famous grocery market is located. Here you may buy some fresh fruits and vegetables or taste baked nuts and delicious snacks, as the locals do. It is a market on the street with many stalls, which compete for the clients attention. Then our guide will lead us to a famous pastry shop. On the way there we will cross the biggest open-air book store in Bulgaria and go to a favorite meeting point for many people: Slaveikov square. In the pastry shop we will taste a special and delicious dessert called baklava. It is very sweet and full with nuts. Tolumbichka, cream-cake or other sweets may also be taken. Here the best traditional Bulgarian deserts are prepared, which will pair with boza, another unique beverage for the region.
