Sofia City, Administrative region in Sofia, Bulgaria
The region encompasses the entire metropolitan area of Sofia, extending from the central districts to the outskirts at the foot of Vitosha Mountain.
The administrative division was established in 1987 to improve governance of the expanding capital, separating municipal functions from broader regional administration.
The region maintains administrative oversight of numerous cultural institutions, including the Ivan Vazov National Theatre and the National Opera and Ballet of Bulgaria.
The administrative territory contains 24 districts, each with local councils managing services such as transportation, education, and public maintenance within their boundaries.
The region holds a special status as the only Bulgarian administrative division that exactly matches the boundaries of its primary city.
