Sofia, a capital of Bulgaria. The city’s landmarks reflect more than 2,000 years of history, including Greek, Roman, Ottoman and Soviet occupation.
Drive Trip to Sofia is about 6 hours distance from Bucharest. May drive throughout or crossing Danube River via a ferry at Turnu Măgurele, a county in south-west of Romania. Timing wise will be almost the same as the ferry journey is about 10 mins.
