Vitosha is the perfect experience for the lovers of wild forest and crispy air. You will love it, even if it is slightly raining. This picturesque site can be viewed from the city – it has got a fantastic enchantment and locals are very happy with it. There is also unbelievable view from the mountain top to the city.
Vitosha has got a small waterfall, hidden among the rocks and fabulous places to eat French fries and drink herbal tea. Some say it’s best to visit in winter, when the mountain is a snow miracle, for all the lovers of ski and other winter sports. Especially, if you come from a place, where it never snows – visiting can be really exciting to you. Some people take the ski lift to the top of the mountain – for the amazing scenery. The only disadvantage of this spot is that it can get pretty crowded – for everyone goes up after a week of professional endeavors.
For a day trip – Vitosha (Sofia) is well worth it!
