Sofia in €30s-€60s rtn

Lapland called—Bulgaria's come and stolen their magical winter wonderland, and they want it back :-)

But seriously, Sofia has Christmas markets covered, with four popping up all over the city in the winter months!

If you're looking for a more natural experience, swap the slippers for snowshoes and hike Vitosha Mountain.

And if you need a bit of warming up after that walk, then head to Bankya and soak in this over 100-year-old tsarist mineral bathhouse...
