Sofia is the capital and largest city of Bulgaria and is the 15th largest city in the European Union. The city is located at the foot of Vitosha Mountain in the western part of the country, within less than 50km drive from the Serbian border.

Sofia has been an area of human habitation since at least 7000BCE and is Europe's second-oldest city.
