Sofia (en bulgare : София, Sofiya, /ˈsɔfijɐ/ ) est la capitale et la plus grande ville de la Bulgarie, à 590 m d'altitude au pied du mont Vitocha, non loin de l'Iskar. Ses habitants, les Sofiotes (en bulgare : софиянци, sofiyantsi), représentent 17 % de la population du pays, plaçant Sofia au 13e rang des villes les plus peuplées de l'Union européenne. Sofia est également la quatrième plus grande ville des Balkans, après Istanbul, Athènes et Belgrade. Elle est à la fois le centre politique et culturel du pays, son principal centre d'échanges ainsi que son premier centre industriel, avec des activités sidérurgiques, métallurgique, de construction mécanique et de chimie. C'est également un centre universitaire depuis 1888. La ville occupe une position géostratégique très importante dans la région, ce qui a largement contribué à son expansion démographique.
