Nature around Sofia, Center
Sightseeing
I have to admit that getting to this place is quite hard nowadays. There used to be a very convenient cabin lift (actually this was the first cabin lift in Bulgaria, built in 1962) but it broke down in 1992 and since then the easiest way to reach Kopitoto area is by car.
But the view that the area around the abandoned top station of the lift offers is all worth it. You get the whole city of Sofia spread under your feet. If that’s not enough one can even take a peek at the nearby city of Pernik. During the day a picnic may not be a bad idea.

Vitosha is a ski resort, nice hiking place and gives you a great panorama view of the city. It is only 20-30 minutes away from Sofia with a car and you will feel the nature.
