Burleigh Travel offer armed forces rugby tours to Sofia, Bulgaria’s capital city, and the highest capital in Europe. Bulgaria has four distinct seasons with dry, hot summers and snowy winters.

While present everywhere, bars and nightclubs are concentrated in the central part of the city which makes it easy to explore several different places in one outing and on foot. Sofia ticks all the boxes to make for a great armed forces rugby tour and will ensure an unforgettable experience for you and your players.
