Guides for every destination →
Alexander Nevsky and St Sophia: look beyond the cathedral domes
Pair Sofia’s famous cathedral with the nearby basilica and its underground necropolis, keeping worship, archaeology and guided-tour inclusions clear.
Sofia’s former Mineral Baths: history museum and a shorter city day
Visit the former Central Mineral Baths for city history and architecture, with nearby visitor information and a manageable alternative to another long walking day.
Sofia’s City Garden and Ivan Vazov: plan a theatre evening
Make the City Garden more than a photo stop: use its reading-room visitor centre, see Ivan Vazov’s façade and choose an actual performance with the right language support.
A first weekend in Sofia: churches, Serdica and a theatre evening
Spend two days in Sofia with a cathedral-area morning, ancient streets, a city museum and time for a Bulgarian meal rather than a rushed mountain detour.
Serdica, the Largo and St George: Sofia in layers
Follow a central Sofia route from the Largo’s civic buildings to Roman street remains and St George’s courtyard, with clear access and transport choices.
Split’s palace: the Peristyle, cathedral and choosing your tickets
Start with the palace’s public streets, then choose one interior visit. The palace is a lived-in part of Split, so a walking tour and a ticket to a monument are different purchases.
A first weekend in Split: palace streets, markets and a flexible second day
Keep Saturday centred on the palace and food district. On Sunday choose a short Marjan outing or Klis, leaving room for a proper meal and the journey back.
Klis from Split: fortress views, ramparts and the transport decision
Klis is a separate excursion above Split, not another stop inside the palace. Choose between an independent fortress visit and a tour with transport before adding olive-museum time.
Split’s Marjan: a viewpoint outing with a shorter waterfront alternative
Give Marjan its own part of the day rather than tagging a hill climb onto an already long palace visit. A lower viewpoint can be enough; a full forest circuit needs separate access and weather checks.
Split’s market morning: Pazar, the fish hall and olive oil
Use two different markets to understand the city’s food, then make one deliberate tasting or lunch stop. This is a shopping and neighbourhood route rather than a promise of a ready-made meal at every stall.
