Sofia activity forecast

Planning notes for Sofia

Sofia sits in a basin at the foot of Vitosha mountain, high above sea level, so mornings are cooler than the latitude suggests. The mountain is reachable within the day.

• Altitude makes mornings and evenings noticeably cooler than midday, so the recommended window is often narrower than it looks.
• Conditions in the city are not conditions on Vitosha; use the city score for the city, and expect the mountain to be harsher.
