Sofia

Bulgaria

Historic, laid-back, and one of Europe's most underrated capitals.

Sofia is a historic city with a laid-back vibe that surprised me. The mix of Roman ruins, Ottoman mosques, and Soviet-era architecture creates a unique atmosphere. It's also incredibly affordable — one of the cheapest capitals in Europe.
