This is a steady tendency, the growth rate has been stable since 2009, the Mayor of Sofia said. Last year alone there is an increase of 4 percent. The highest number of visits is from Germany, UK, Greece, Italy, Israel and France. The more than 60 festivals taking place in the capital city every year also contributes to this increase in the number of tourists, Yordanka Fandakova added.
