Similarly to Warsawand Krakow, Sofia offers one of our larger selections of activities to choose from. So if you fancy shooting seven different types of guns, white-water rafting down a river, or tucking into a succulent steak whilst watching a local lovely take off her clothes, then Sofia is the destination for you.

Sofia after dark!

There are few licensing laws in Bulgaria and consequently bars are able to serve alcohol pretty much whenever they want. Sofia has 16 universities and its large student population ensure that the bars are nightclubs are serving long into the wee hours of the morning. The majority of action is found in and around Vitosha Blvd and near Sofia University where all the students can be found. The best thing about drinking in Sofia is its prices, the average cost of a pint is about a quid!!!

Sofia offers the perfect nightlife with many great nightclubs and bars for all tastes open until the early hours of the morning. Lots of local, slender, friendly fillies pack cool venues such as Yalta Club, Chervilo and Escape which attract top international DJs on a regular basis. If you fancy getting around in style then Pissup’s Hummer Limo Tour or Strip Partybus offer modes of transport complete with champagne, stripper and bartender….a bit better than a moody taxi driver speaking broken English!
