Trip to Sofia, Bulgaria 🇧🇬

It was a trip to Sofia, Bulgaria 🇧🇬 Sofia is a city full of charm, history, and stunning photo opportunities 📸 We visited the iconic Alexander Nevsky Cathedral early in the morning ⛅️ and it was absolutely breathtaking. The golden domes gleam beautifully as the sun rises ☀️ making it the perfect time to take photos without too many people around. The architecture is a masterpiece, and we highly recommend capturing wide shots to get the full grandeur. Don’t forget to take a few close-ups of the intricate details on the doors and frescoes inside 📸 📍 pl. “Sveti Aleksandar Nevski”, 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria We then walked to the Ivan Vazov National Theatre, one of the most picturesque buildings in Sofia. The symmetrical design and beautiful gardens make it an excellent spot for photography 📸 We found that mid-morning light was ideal, with the sun highlighting the details of the façade without casting harsh shadows. The fountains in front add a magical touch to any shot ✨ 📍 bul. “Tsar Osvoboditel” 5, 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria We also explored Vitosha Boulevard, Sofia’s most famous pedestrian street, around noon. It’s lively with street musicians, cafés ☕️ and a fantastic view of Vitosha Mountain ⛰️ in the background. We recommend taking candid shots here, whether it’s enjoying a coffee at a street café or capturing the stylish local architecture. It’s a great place for vibrant, urban photography 💯 📍 Vitosha Boulevard, Sofia, Bulgaria We also visited The Red Flat, a museum-like apartment showcasing life in communist-era Bulgaria. This place offers a nostalgic atmosphere perfect for vintage-style photography 📸 The warm afternoon light filtering through the windows creates a cozy, cinematic effect for indoor shots ✨ If you love storytelling through photos, this is a must-visit. 📍 ul. “Tsar Asen” 19, 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria We also visited St. Nedelya Church ⛪️ which looks even more beautiful at night. The soft lighting around the church gives it a peaceful and almost mystical ambiance, perfect for capturing night photography.m ✨ We recommend using a slower shutter speed to get the best results 📸 📍 pl. “Sveta Nedelya” 20, 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria This itinerary gave us some of the most stunning photos and memories of Sofia. Whether you love capturing historical landmarks, vibrant streets, or breathtaking landscapes, this city has something for every photographer 🙌🙌🙌 #europetrip #travel #vacation
