Raymond Sofia Tours

I’m passionate about Art Nouveau, architecture and design. I grew up between Italy and France, with strong connections to Milan and Rouen in Normandy, and I speak Italian, French and English. I want to help Italian- and French-speaking travellers discover a lesser-known side of Sofia. Together, we’ll explore how Italian and French architects, artists, craftsmen, diplomats and intellectuals contributed to the transformation of Sofia after the Ottoman period and to the city’s Belle Époque. For me, discovering a city means looking beyond its monuments and uncovering the stories and connections that shaped it.
