Things to do if you find yourself in Sofia:
1) Free bike tour. We didn’t actually get to do this because they didn’t have any guides since it was so late in the tourist season. But instead of a free walking tour, you could ride bikes around the city. If you didn’t have a bike, you could rent one.
2) Visit St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. It is one of the largest Orthodox churches. You can go inside but they were closing as we got there. So again, we missed out.
