Local insights - Two hours with our guide Peter went very quickly. It was our 2nd day in Sofia, and Bulgaria. Peter not only showed us the mentioned landmarks but also took us into the university, showed us the amazing stain glasses in hallways from centuries ago yet in use today. It was a dazzling walk of the city centre.
