City trip or winter sports in Sofia

As one of the oldest cities in Europe, Sofia is rich in culture and tradition. The countless churches, mosques, synagogues, and historic buildings that characterise the cityscape bear witness to this. In contrast to this are the influences of modernity, with many colourful graffiti and street artworks adorning the façades. Surrounded by mountains, Sofia is also the ideal starting point for a holiday on the slopes; the popular Vitosha ski resort is only a few kilometres away by car.

With Wizz Air, northern Germans can now travel to Sofia up to three times a day. Flights are offered on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, with the exact flight days varying depending on the week. The Hamburg-Sofia route will also be offered in the coming summer season, with the flight days changing to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
