Sofia - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?

I think it's good for everyone, it is right really a family post. That being said, the CLO does do events and the singles or couples are usually the ones who attend the events regularly. It's a good way to meet and get to know your fellow co-workers. - Jun 2023


This city is good for everyone. There is a festive night life downtown, and plenty of things to see and do in the numerous parks scattered through the city. For families, there are play grounds every where and museums that share the rich history of Sofia. - Mar 2019


Yes. Strollers are hard to use downtown as in most European capitals (cobblestones, lack of sidewalk or cars parked on the sidewalk, etc.). There is a big bar scene, clubs, music, etc. - May 2016


Great for everyone. - Dec 2014


You need to find your own entertainment, there is little Embassy community. - Nov 2014


Yes for all. Almost all restaurants come with little playgrounds in Sofia. (But note, no high chairs at mall food courts). - Aug 2014


It's a good cities for singles, specially guys. For families, it's a bit more difficult given the limited choices available in terms of places to go with kids. Smoking is a big issue here and most restaurants don't separate smoking areas, so if you have children this is an issue, especially in the winter months when you can't sit outside. - Jun 2011


I think all of the above. The only thing that's a bit difficult for kids is during summer and off-time, trying to find activites and programs to keep them busy. - Oct 2009


Great for singles, couples and families with children. With the extremely low birth-rate most Bulgarians love children and treat them as royalty in most restaurants, malls, and shops. - Feb 2008
