Sofia Hen Party

Although part of the European Union since 2007, Bulgaria still uses the lev as their official currency, making the prices cheap as chips! Averaging at around £1.50 for a pint, £3.50 for a vodka mixer and £2 for a shot of vodka, this is one of the cheapest nights out anywhere in Eastern Europe! As if you didn’t need any more convincing, a standard two course meal will cost around you around £10 a head. Not only does this mean that you’ll be spending less than you would in other popular destinations like Berlin and Amsterdam, but you’ll also be saving your pennies for other important activities on your trip… like shopping!

Records of settlement in-and-around Sofia date back almost 10,000 years, making it one of Europe’s oldest cities! Being a university city with a large student population, Sofia offers a bustling and vibrant nightlife jam packed with some of the hottest bars and clubs in Bulgaria! One of the more up-and-coming cities we offer, a Sofia weekend is the perfect destinations for the young, the trendy and the adventurous! Oozing with history you’ll never be short from a historic building or some fascinatingly classic architecture to feast your eyes on.

Where to Shop in Sofia?

Like many other capital cities, Sofia is a fantastic destination when it comes to shopping! From wide-open shopping streets to indoor centres, there’s every reason to hit the stores and shop ‘til you drop on your hen party in Sofia.

The first place we’d recommend heading to for a browse or a full day of shopping is Vitosha Boulevard. Situated right in the heart of the city centre, this major thoroughfare overlooks the Vitosha Mountain, making for the perfect backdrop to your shopping trip! This wide-open street is lined with enough high fashion boutiques and big brand stores to keep you and the girls entertained for an afternoon, we’re sure of that.

If the weather is being unpredictable, then head to the Mall of Sofia for an indoor shopping paradise experience! Also located in the heart of the city centre, this huge shopping complex is the biggest of its kind in Sofia, covering three storeys and featuring a cinema, restaurants and plenty of high street brand stores you’d expect to find anywhere back in the UK.

An alternative choice for indoor shopping is TZUM. Historically opened in 1956, this building forms part of the “Largo”, three gigantic Soviet-style buildings that were constructed in the heart of Sofia after World War II. This 7-floor building is packed full of international brands and European favourites, giving you a mixture of familiar stores and new favourites to try!

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Sofia Hen Party

With so much to see and do in Sofia, there’s no wonder why so many parties from all over the UK flock across to this Eastern European capital city every year! Not only is it packed full of exciting party activities for you to sink your teeth into, but there’s a number of ways that you can make the most out of your Sofia hen party. One way of doing that is by exploring the history and significance this city has had throughout history. In the heart of the capital is the Square of Religious Tolerance. Probably the only arrangement of its kind anywhere in the world, the city centre is dominated by four religious buildings that have influenced the city for thousands of years, being a synagogue, a mosque, an Orthodox church and a catholic cathedral!

Another fantastic way to make the most of your time in the Bulgarian capital is by exploring the natural surroundings that hug this city. Sofia’s immediate surroundings are dominated by the Balkan Mountains and stunning countryside, making it the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle to enjoy a peaceful day taking in the natural beauty that Bulgaria has to offer.
