Sofia

Sofia, Bulgaria’s capital, is a vibrant city with a complex history, situated in the Sofia Valley at the foot of Vitosha mountain. A major transport hub and the 14th-largest city in the EU, Sofia blends ancient heritage with a modern, developing infrastructure. Expect a continental climate and a surprisingly green landscape, with mountains easily accessible for hiking and outdoor activities. The city’s cost of living is notably affordable, making it attractive for remote workers.

Historically a crossroads for civilizations – from Roman Serdica to Ottoman rule – Sofia today is a diverse and tolerant city. It’s known for its unique “square of religious tolerance,” where a church, mosque, synagogue, and cathedral stand in close proximity. Beyond its historical sites, Sofia offers a growing tech scene, numerous universities, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for digital nomads seeking a base in Southeastern Europe.
