Sofia
Find four faiths within three hundred metres
A mosque, a synagogue, an Orthodox cathedral and a Catholic church stand within a few minutes' walk of each other in the centre — locals call it the square of tolerance and it is walkable in one go. Photograph two of them in one frame.
Fill a bottle at the mineral taps
Hot mineral water comes out of public taps beside the old bath house, and people queue with plastic canisters every morning. It is free, it is 46 degrees, and it has been drunk here since the Romans. Photograph the queue.
Take the lift up Vitosha from the city
A two-thousand-metre mountain sits inside the city boundary, so you can leave a café in the centre and be on a ski run or an alpine meadow within the hour. Very few capitals can do this. Photograph the city from the top.
