Explore SOFIA with Pamela MacNaughtan as she embarks on the epic 10,000-mile MONGOL RALLY!

Bulgaria’s largest city might not be one of Europe’s most sought-after destinations, but you might just find it’s one of its most pleasant. With plenty of parks, museums, art galleries, theatres, shopping plazas, restaurants and nightclubs, Sofia is what you’d expect of an up-and-coming European city—just with a dash of Soviet-era memorabilia. Red Army monuments are scattered throughout Sofia—a reminder of the country’s communist history. Meanwhile, mosques and onion domed churches set the stage for a city that is simultaneously eastern and western, modern and set in the past.
