Introducing one of the most up and coming Stag Party destinations Eastern Europe has to offer. Welcome to the stag party scene Sofia!
If you are looking for a stag party destination in a relatively untapped city that's away from all the tourist traps then look no further than Sofia.
Not only is the Bulgarian capital absolutely bursting with a lively nightlife, great stag party activities and eye-watering hot babes, but the beer is also ridiculously cheap, which is always a winner in our book!
And, if you and the lads are the sightseeing type and want to get a cultural fix then you will be spoiled for chose in Sofia. The city is bursting at the seams with churches, cathedrals, synagogues, mosques and architectural monuments including the Boyana Church, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and dates back to the 10th Century.
Sofia is also home to the impressive Vitosha Mountains so you can tick snowboarding on the Bulgarian mountains off the bucket list too!
So whether it's the hot babes, the epic nightlife, great stag party activities, sightseeing or snowboarding, there is something for everyone is Sofia. And, better yet, it is budget-friendly and will leave you with plenty of juice in the beer-drinking fund!
if it's action and adrenaline you came for, Sofia will deliver.
Thanks to lax gun laws the AK-47, Shotgun & Pistol Shooting package is one of the top stag party activities for a stag do in Sofia.
But, this is one city that serves up plenty of variety!
On the 'calmer' side of the spectrum, Sofia offers a Private Cruise on a nearby lake, Paintball, Karting and other crowd favourites including a Pool Party, Clay Pigeon Shooting, Quad Biking, Laser Tag, Airsoft and Body Sushi.
But, this is Bulgaria's capital, it's far from a quaint little city that only offers up 'calm' activities.
As we said, if it's action and adrenaline you came for, Sofia will deliver. On the wilder side of the spectrum, there is Whitewater Rafting, Flyboard, a Fake Bungee Jump, a Party Bus with a Stripper, the AK-47, Shotgun & Pistol Shooting Package, which we mentioned and a Pistol Shooting Package that comes with 50 bullets.
So yeah, there is a bunch of great activities to keep you and the lads occupied when it comes to a stag do in Sofia!
If your stag group are the sightseeing type and want to get a cultural fix then you will be spoiled for chose in Sofia!
As we previously mentioned, Bulgaria's capital is steeped in history, incredible architecture and picturesque landmarks that reflect more than 2,000 years of history from the former Greek, Roman, Ottoman and Soviet occupation.
Churches and Monumental Buildings: Sofia is bursting at the seams with churches, cathedrals, synagogues, mosques and architectural monuments that draw in thousands of visitors each year.
Some of the most popular sights include the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, St. George Rotunda, Ivan Vazov National Theatre, The Synagogue of Sofia, Sveti Sedmochislenitsi Church and the Boyana Church, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and dates back to the 10th Century. According to UNESCO, this site is one of the most complete and perfectly preserved monuments of East European medieval art.
Vitosha Mountains: Climbing to more than 2,200 metres behind Sofia’s southwestern suburbs is Vitosha, promising more adventure than you could ever cram into one stag do. Tick snowboarding on the Bulgarian mountains off the bucket list!
The Zoo: Around 1,113 animals from 244 species can be seen in the park, some of which are endangered. Along with representatives of the local fauna like deer, wolves, foxes and brown bears, the visitors can encounter hippos, rhinos, elephants, zebras, lions, panthers, monkeys and apes. Many exotic species of fish, reptiles and amphibians can also be seen in the aquarium and terrarium.
Sofia Land: One of the newest attractions in Sofia, situated in close proximity to the Sofia Zoo and the Boris Gardens. Sofia Land opened to visitors in the autumn of 2002. Even though it is rather small, the park has a good variety of amusements including several carousels, a 'tower experience' offering a good view over the city from a height of 43 metres combined with a free fall, a 400 metre long and 15 metre high roller coaster and a 'Wild River' ride on the water channels.
A Stag Do in Sofia can't be compared to anywhere else in the world.
Nor can it's insane nightlife!
This vibrant up and coming stag party city is bursting with some of the hottest bars and clubs in Bulgaria...And they're actually affordable. Two things we love when it comes to a stag do.
While Sofia is the largest city and capital of Bulgaria, the city centre is relatively compact and easy to navigate on food, making it perfect for bar crawls and club hopping.
But, what really sets this city apart is its ridiculously young and lively population. With 16 universities, the city's student population is huge!
Normally that wouldn't be of interest when considering heading to Sofia for a stag do, but these youngsters know how to party, drive the price of booze down and keep the clubs open until the sun rises. So, you can thank the students for Sofia's lively and varying nightlife.
And, when it comes to the varying nightlife, you'll find everything from retro nights, heavy metal, to fancier clubs with top DJ or the infamous chalga discos. More importantly, you can get yourself a pint for about a quid, so we expect some serious boozing.
Another great point to make about Sofia's nightlife, perhaps the one we favour most, is there are very few licensing laws. This means bars and clubs can serve alcohol at any time of night or day and there is always a party to be found in Sofia.
Night's start late and last until the sun is up in Sofia, usually you would start the night off with drinks at a bar and around midnight to 1 am you'll make your way to the clubs.
When it comes to all the bars and clubs, the majority of the action will be found around Vitosha Boulevard and near Sofia University...one of the 16 universities.
As always, Maximise recommends a guided bar crawl when it comes to a stag do, especially on the first night and especially when you're abroad. Nothing beats local knowledge and our guides will let you in on all the best watering holes in Sofia, as well as tailor the crawl to suit your tastes, preferences and budgets.
It's not just our opinion, there is no denying Bulgarian women are known to be incredibly beautiful!
Generally, Bulgarian women are taller than average, have slender figures, dark hair, and blue or green eyes. Bulgarian women are simply mesmerizing. Again, it's not just us saying this, they often top the list of most beautiful women in the world.
Simply put, if 'hot' is the measure of attractiveness, these girls are the sun or lava and you absolutely need to indulge in their beauty during your stag do in Sofia. It might be last on our list, but it's probably our number one reason we love Sofia!
From Airport Transfers with a Stripper, Steak & Strip, to a Private Striptease at your accommodation, enjoying the many Strip Clubs or enjoying a Hummer Lap Tour, this is one city that loves and supports their beautiful and sexy women!
So, while Sofia might date back 7000 years, making it the second oldest city in Europe, there is nothing outdated or old about a stag do in this city.
From its nightlife that's mostly situated around the Old Town, beautiful women and cheap booze to the great stag party activities and overall friendly atmosphere and hospitality, Sofia is the ideal city for a stag do!
Interesting Fact: Bulgarians express their approval by shaking their heads rather than nodding.
