Sofia the capital of Bulgaria is being tipped as the next hot city break destination in Europe. Sofia is one of the oldest cities in Europe and the foundations of the city walls have been dated back to the the 7th century BC. The city is great value for money, there are plenty of historic attractions and a good nightlife.

Easyjet are already flying from Gatwick to Sofia and flights from Manchester will commence on 11 December 2008. Wizzair fly from London Luton to Sofia.

I’ve only really heard about holidays from the UK to Golden Sands on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria and most feedback from that was pretty negative in that the holidays weren’t that cheap and the standard of accommodation was poor. Have you visited Sofia, how would you rate it?
