Sofia is the capital and largest city of Bulgaria, home to approximately 1.3 million residents. It operates on Eastern European Time (EET, UTC+2) in winter and EEST (UTC+3) in summer. Sofia is one of Europe's oldest cities, with 7,000 years of settlement history — the Romans called it Serdica and Emperor Constantine the Great reportedly said, 'Serdica is my Rome.' The city sits at the foot of Vitosha Mountain, one of the world's few mountains entirely within city limits, providing skiing just 30 minutes from downtown. Bulgaria has become a significant IT and outsourcing hub in Europe, with Sofia's tech sector growing rapidly. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, completed in 1912 to commemorate Russian soldiers who died liberating Bulgaria from Ottoman rule, is one of the largest Eastern Orthodox cathedrals in the world and Sofia's iconic landmark. Bulgaria also hosts the Plovdiv European Capital of Culture 2019, reflecting the country's rich artistic heritage.
