Burleigh Travel offer university 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. For university rugby tours, Sofia is an ideal destination as it is well known for its fantastic nightlife and cheap alcohol; bars are popular in the evening hours until midnight after which the crowd moves to the night clubs. 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 university rugby tour and will ensure an unforgettable experience for you and your players.
