Description
Very unique experience to see Sofia from the top! You will see places you won't be able to see on your own. During the 2,5 hours trip you will first explore the main attraction in Sofia - the Alexander Nevski cathedral - our meeting point! Right after we'll go with a luxury SUV to the heart of Vitosha mountain and we'll bring you to the amazing Golden Bridges - a unique rock formation so called the stone river of Vitosha! Our next stop will be the breathtaking, 186-metre tall TV tower - Kopitoto "The Hoof", situated on top of Vitosha mountain at 1,348 m altitude. You will have unique opportunity to walk around the cliff and take stunning pictures of Sofia from the top! The next destination will be the best skybar in Sofia - Ozone - situated on the 29th floor with a spectacular 360 panoramic view of the city! You will have the pleasure to enjoy a cocktail/drink (not included) overseeing the city from the top. At the end we'll bring you back to the starting point.

Book this tour!
This tour is really recommended! You come to places as a tourist that you normally only know how to find as a local. Rado had a lot to tell as a real 'Sodian' and it was really interesting too (and we laughed too)! I would book this tour again.
Operator response

Sofia from the top with a car ride
I had a really wonderful experience. I got to see a stunning sunset from the top of Vitosha mountain. The guide and the driver were both nice and professional making me feel comfortable. At the end of the ride, they took me to a Sky bar, which had a wonderful 360-degree view on Sofia by night. I was looking for some hidden gems on my visit to Sofia and this car ride was a perfect choice. The guide also took some beautiful photos of me watching the beautiful sunset.

Excellent experience
This local tour was beautiful, with nature watching the sunset intimately with a view of Sofia. Both the crowd-free observation deck and the scenic landscape were at its best. The caring and helpful attitude of our tour guide was another factor that made the trip better. While you’re in Sofia, don’t miss this tour that will take you off the life stream for a moment, and focus on the perfect view.
