Escapeway is the top escape room in Sofia and Bulgaria. An escape room is an especially prepared room that will take you into a world of adventure and mystery. Your task will be to go through a series of challenges to solve a series of mysteries; deciphering codes, discovering ancient artifacts, and unlocking secret promises are your way out of the room.
Great room, lots of riddles to solve, as they say: put you in the movie:) Great staff, nice atmosphere and great entertainment

Muzeiko is the biggest science center for children in Eastern Europe. Muzeiko is a 2,000 m2 space with over 130 interactive games created for children and curious adults. The entire content of the museum is designed to inspire children to learn, discover and explore the sciences, while helping children, their families and educators spend time together actively and effectively.
Went there June 2019 with a 22 year-old and 3.5 year-old. The little one didn't get much of it, but had lots of fun, especially in the baby area. The big one loved it! Muzeiko is an amazing kids' science museum that not many countries in Europe have! Many different areas with different science fields, enough opportunity to play while exploring and learning. Also the food in the canteen was quite good especially for a museum. Love love love it! Would come back any time again!

Boutique wines from Bulgaria. More than 400 labels from top Bulgarian quality cellars expecting you! Everyday different wine tasting in a cozy,friendly atmosphere:)
What a great way to spend an afternoon! A group of us went to Tempus for a 2 hour wine tasting experience, and that it was. We tried 5 wines and Rakia enjoyed with cheeses and bread sticks, as on of my friends was gluten free, Kalin went above and beyond and catered for such dietary requirements. A very thoughtful touch. We learnt about the Bulgarian wine regions and the different grapes that each offer. I’d recommend the wine tasting with Kalin if ever in Sofia, he knows his stuff. He even recommended us a restaurant for dinner, we went and it was absolutely delicious. If ever back in Sofia, we will be sure to swing by and say hello - thanks Kalin for such a lovely experience.

Magnificent nature! The seven Rila lakes are recognized as the most energetic place in the world. Great views from a height of 2500 m. The route is extreme. You need good equipment. The sun is strong and you need sunscreen. Many people visit the Rila lakes in the summer.

Located at the foot of Mt. Vitosha, Bojana Church is about 900 years old. The church houses the National Museum, which focuses on regional history, art and cultural artifacts.
If you manage to make it up the hill, this church is well worth the journey and 10 Lev entrance fee. The interior has amazing 13th century frescos. Note that the visitor numbers are limited to 8 at any time as space is limited plus they are probably trying to preserve the frescos by controlling humidity levels. You are only permitted to stsy for 10 mins. The grounds are pleasant with benches and plenty of birds( I saw a woodpecker). If you are making your own way there you can combine this visit with the National History museum nearby. We did this by taking trolley bus 2 from the centre to its final stop over the road from the museum. From here you can walk 30 mins up to the church or take bus 107 which goes to the church entrance.

A Bulgarian Orthodox cathedral in Sofia (Bg). Built in Neo-Byzantine style, it serves as the cathedral church of the Patriarch of Bulgaria and it is one of the largest Christian church buildings, as well as one of Sofia's symbols and primary tourist attractions.
