Hi everyone. My family will be heading to Sofia for vacation this coming winter. I know that we may not be heading there during “peak” tourist season, but at any rate I’m looking forward to seeing your country as it is brand new to me!

I have a young child who will be nearly a year old when we get to Sofia. what are some fun/exciting or interesting things for families with young children and are they easily accessible? I won’t be renting a vehicle so accessibility is rather important!

Is there an “old” town or historic area of Sofia? I have a fascination for history so historical areas and architecture would be on my list of things to see!

I will be in Sofia during Christmas. I would really like to see some orthodox churches, but I don’t want to be disrespectful to the churchgoers, however experiencing an orthodox mass would be a very interesting experience. Is it okay to go to an Orthodox Church and ask to sit in on a mass?

My extended family will be coming along too so day trips may happen with guides. Do any of you have any recommendations?

Where is the best food scene in the city to try local or traditional Bulgaria foods?

Thank you all in advance!

Hi there. Not sure if this is the right place to post, but here it goes. I bought tickets for a delta flight through KLM. The flight was for MSP with a layover in Rome to catch a connecting flight to Bulgaria to visit family who relocated there over Christmas.

Well, my brother in law who is still in the states who was supposed to be moving there for his job no longer is because of a rather bad cancer diagnosis that the doctors say will take about a year for him to be recovered and able to work again.

Like I stated above from MSP we would be arriving in Rome for our layover. I am wondering if it is possible to cancel just the connecting flight from Rome to Bulgaria as now my family wants to opt to stay in Italy for the holiday and not eat the full cost of the tickets.

The tickets are for delta but purchased through KLM. I already contacted delta about this and they said I needed to ask KLM about this. Anyone have any insights into if this is possible or not? I purchased 3 premium select seats for me, my wife and my child if that makes any difference at all.
