Sofia is well known for its Christmas market. It sits in Brosiova Gradina and it is a small yet very charming market for holiday gifts, arts and crafts. Because of the proximity of Mount Vitosha, skiing and snowboarding are quite close at hand, and from the city center are only about 30 to 40 minutes away. Another staple of this city is its amazing coffee scene. There may be no better way to spend a cold winter afternoon than by sipping on artisanal coffee concoctions.
