Sofia. For One. is an app which provides you with three self-guided walks around Sofia, Bulgaria, where each one:
- tells a story from Sofias past;
- brings you to four or five main central locations directly related to the story;
- shows you historic images of the areas you visit to see the transformation of the city!

Choose whether you want to learn about the foreign investment in Sofia, or the justice system, or the Bulgarian royal family, all in the late 1800s and early 1900s, then go to the locations where the events of the story actually took place and compare what the city looked like then and now.

Each story is narrated through consecutive panels of text and pictures that you can read and view while moving from one location to the next.

There is an offline map of the area covered for each walk so you can track your movement even when you have no internet connection. Walks include written directions as well.

The benefits:
- the thematic approach provides you with an interesting story with key facts to remember and tell friends back home instead of a ton of fragmented facts about unrelated locations;
- avoid multihour group tours where you are rushed through locations you find interesting or stuck in others that you dont;
- self-paced so it can be done in as little as 1 hour if time pressed.

After you are finished with your tour, turn your photos into Sofia. For One. postcards to share with friends and family in the Postcard section!
