New in Sofia, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Sofia — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Sofia is the capital of Bulgaria, with around 1.28 million residents, and by far the country's largest study hub, with over 90,000 students enrolled. The student district of Studentski Grad in the southeast, the lively Vitosha Boulevard pedestrian strip and the cocktail scene in Lozenets shape student daily life between lectures and nightlife. If you study here, you think not only of lectures but of cheap club nights in Student City, live concerts at the NDK and laid-back afternoons in Borisova Park.

Sofia has around 90,000 students at 5 universities — in theory the perfect setup to meet new people. And yet the start in a new city often feels lonely: the uni groups have long since formed, and spontaneous meetups die in endless WhatsApp groups where nobody ever commits.
