What to See in Sofia with a Car Hire
A car for hire is a great way to get the party started in the attractive and culture studded Bulgarian capital. Once you are behind the wheel of your car rental it won't be long before you find Borisova Gradina - the perfect place for a stroll in the park and to see some monuments. After hitting the shops and nightlife along Bulgaria Boulevard, which is a nice blend of classic meets modern architecture, consider venturing beyond Sofia. A highlight worth visiting on your trip is Plovdiv, the oldest inhabited city in Europe where more treasures await. Additionally, Malyovitsa, the Rila Mountains, and Bansko are all only 1 to 2 hours away from Sofia. To see more of this special city "on the rise", a car hire with Sixt is the way to go.
