A nice walk in the city. The Emo's Puddle was all dried up though, more like Emo's dirt patch by the time we got there 😆.
Vitosha is just gorgeous in autumn, when birch, beech, oak and aspen change colours. In my opinion, that's the best season to visit; just a 30 min ride (with public transport at that!) from the city centre. If you visit during the week, you'll have the whole mountain mostly to yourself.
The only mountain and region in the whole of Europe that allows skiing and hiking while being just 30 minutes away from the capital. Historic Aleko hut named after the founder of the tourist movement in Bulgaria offers food accommodation and venue for events.
Nice for hiking. Trails were snowy in March 2025. Accessible by public transport (I used bus 61 and 63). Pay by credit card. Two tickets on the same day anywhere in Sofia give you a day pass to bus or metro even to the airport, which is favorable! We could use that in Copenhagen.
Loved the experience. Take proper shoes!! Have in mind in which season you are going. We went on January 2025 and it was super snowed, with great views. We took bus 61 (near the national palace of culture) that took us direct to the mountain and a bit on top (so that was great). I read that the lift for snowing was on the other side with other bus. But bus 61 worked great for us, every 30minutes. Up the mountains the stores where close at 9-10am then we started hiking, there’s different paths and we choose the easy one, and walked like 45min and we found a sky resort, very local and great. Think we were the only tourists but everyone was VERY FRIENDLY. you can rent skies (boots and sticks) including the lift for just 37lev , a great price for the experience. They didn’t have helmet for adults, but it was not obligatory. Many families, little kids had their own area and of course the easy, medium and expert sky track. The staff was amazing, very friendly and nice! Thank you!! They had a restaurante with food, drinks and deserts with good prices. Toilets for free.
