The streets of Sofia still carry the traces of its communist decades. This self-guided exploration game leads you from the Sveta Nedelya church past the presidency, the university and the Soviet Army Monument, decoding the small details most people walk past and the stories of those who lived under the regime.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 4 km and takes around 1.5 hours, with no time limit.
