Quick answer
A hen party in Sofia works best as a mix of pampering and one big night. By day: a spa day with saunas and pool (from €25), a Turkish hammam (from €40) or a Bulgarian wine tasting (€30). By night: a superstretch limo with champagne (from €150 per hour, up to 15 people) or the party bus for bigger groups (from €260 per hour, up to 27), dinner with a folk show, then a burlesque cabaret or a club. Everything is in or near the centre, and one local team books it all.

Why Sofia works for a hen weekend
Sofia is compact, affordable and still a bit of a secret: you're not sharing every bar with ten other hen groups in matching sashes. Flights from most of Europe are short and cheap, and almost everything below is within 15 minutes of the centre.
We organise hen and bachelorette weekends for British, Irish, German, Scandinavian and Bulgarian groups. Here's what works, with real prices.
Day: slow down and get pampered
🧖 Spa day
Saunas, steam room and pool
Spa Day in the City Centre
A salt sauna, a Finnish sauna, a steam bath, a proper swimming pool and a gym, all in one ticket. Open every day, 7:00 to 22:00, five minutes from Serdika metro.

Activities like spa (€25 to €30), a wine tasting (€30) and a share of a limo or party bus (around €15 to €30 each) usually add up to about €70 to €90 per person, before hotel and food.
Can you organise the whole weekend?
Yes. Activities, restaurants, transport and the big night, all through one WhatsApp chat with someone local.
