If you suggest the city of Sofia as a hen destination, the girls may look at you in bewilderment, with cries of โ€˜Where is that?โ€™ or even โ€˜That sounds very far awayโ€™!! But this is an ideal city for a hen weekend with a difference.
Here at The Foxy Hen, we have put together a snapshot of this great city!!
The capital city of Bulgaria โ and Europeโs most affordable capital city for tourists is often overlooked by all but those in the know. It sits at the base of a huge mountain thatโs perfect for skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer, so it is perfect for a hen weekend all year round.
The city itself is a fascinating mix of clashing histories โ Greeks, Romans, Ottomans, and Soviets have all left criss-crossing marks across the architecture, art, and culture of Sofia. Itโs a burgeoning city just coming into its own, so get there for your epic Sofia weekend before everyone else figures out how low the prices are!
For some culture, itโs definitely worth checking out the drop-dead gorgeous Cathedral of St. Alexander Nevsky during the day, and wander along Vitosha Boulevard to check out the designer shopping and sneak down some side streets to see quirky craft shops and trendy boutiques.
Sofia has a thing about baths โ so get into the spirit of it and visit the ruins of the ancient Roman baths. After all that talk of bathing, itโll be time to hit the spa! At The Foxy Hen, we can organise a daily spa and massage for you and the girls to luxuriate in preparation for a glorious night out on the town.
If wandering the town and lounging with bottles and bottles of wine arenโt your style, then opt for the action-packed avenue with jet-skiโ€™s or even pole dancing or a round of golf. We have you covered!
If you want to head to the seas, why not hire a yacht with a tour-guide, so you and the girls can relax? Whatever you choose, the Sofia hen do is a perfect place for female bonding, affordable fun, with just enough of an edge to make it exciting.
