The tour ends at the St. Alexander Nevsky cathedral, which is one of the emblematic sites in Sofia. We take them there after they see the Roman ruins downtown Sofia, the former king’s castle, the Ivan Vazov National Theatre and others. Visitors are always impressed by the so-called square of tolerance. This square is formed by the 4 different temples situated close to one another. These are an orthodox church, a mosque, a catholic church and a synagogue.
At the same time there are hot mineral springs in the heart of the city and tourists cannot believe Sofia has such treasures, tour guide Boiko says and adds:
“What we see as negative sides of living in Sofia is often viewed in a positive way by foreigners"' Boyko adds. "Sometimes they ask us why there are potholes on the streets and sidewalks but generally they like the city very much. They enjoy that different historical layers exist simultaneously in Sofia. Tourists also like the Vitosha Mountain, the parks, and the mineral water springs. The citizens of Sofia are used to the vast green areas and parks but many tourists are impressed and say Sofia is one of the greenest cities they have ever visited.”
