The onion domes of Sofia silhouette magnificently in the haze beneath Mt Vitosha. In the winter, mists swirl around their Patriarchal cross spires as snow glimmers on the distant peaks. By summer, there's a haze in the air, and cafés creep up the sidewalks to add bustle and hustle and charm to proceedings. It might be 2,000 years old, but Sofia is no Roman relic. It's lived in and energetic, artsy and atmospheric.

The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral usually tops the sightseeing bill. It's a landmark with serious moxie – think a 45-meter-high gold-plated dome and the honor of being the largest cathedral in the Balkans. But, really, it's just the kingpin of the cultural core of the town, where you can flit between the 50,000 pieces of the Bulgarian National Art Gallery and the ballet-spinning stages of the prestigious Ivan Vazov National Theater in just a matter of minutes.

Meanwhile, shoppers and diners coalesce on the wide Boulevard Vitosha. At one end, they sample the new edge of Bulgaria's gastronomic flare thanks to a medley of sleek wine bars and farm-to-table kitchens that reimagine traditional Balkan cooking. At the other, they move in and out of Yuzhen Park, people watching, dog walking, picnicking.

Private charter flights to Sofia can be for all that, but they can also be for exploring the heart of western Bulgaria. That's a region that includes the serrated ridges of the gorgeous Rila National Park and its legendary monastery, but also the upcoming ski fields of Borovets.
