But that means it’s all the better for those travellers who do visit this laid-back and youth-oriented city. Big parks and wide boulevards, museums and top eating options – it’s all waiting for you in Sofia. ## When to Book Flights to Sofia The best time to visit Sofia, or any part of Bulgaria, is generally the summer. That’s when the temperatures are high and the days are long. The thermometer pushes past 30˚C on most days and it is reliably sunny. All of which makes it easier to explore the city. Spring is another good time to go, as it’s less hot but still very mild and pleasant. The same is true for the autumn months of September through to October. After this, much of the country is carpeted in snow. ## How to Find the Best Flight Deals to Sofia Flights to Sofia are regularly busy because of the winter ski season and summer beach resorts. But it is still possible to find cheap flights to Sofia at any time of year. You just need to know where, and more importantly how, to look for them. Being flexible about airports and dates is the best way of finding great value flights to Sofia from UK airports. Using Expedia, you can select the ‘Nearby airports’ option to see more departure and return points from other convenient airports. Likewise, you can use the ‘Show flexible dates’ option to see what else is available. ## UK Departures to Sofia There are numerous cheap flights to Sofia from several UK destinations.
