well it is surrounded by mountains, the most prominent of which is mt. Vitosha at 2290m.
anyway, the city is good, it has somewhat of a skyline, luckily there's he cathedral, but it gets only a 5,5 from me.
Here's some additional pics to the TV tower, Kopitoto, near the city, height of 108m.

Sofia doesn't have much of a skyline, only Alexander Nevski really stands out but the city centre is nice in places at street level and a very nice setting.

^I agree there isn't much of a skyline, but the cathedral is around 50m tall, and there are still 8 buildings over 70m, while the tallest is Hotel Rodina at 104m.
and here's a link about all constructions and projects in Sofia:

well here's an update:
first a nice panorama, not well done but we can see the city from above:
http://www.nchbg.com/index.php?p=virtual/pbc
and here's emporis' section of the city, there have been major updates recently:
http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/ci/?id=100537
but the majority of the buildings are in the lowrise section

alright, here are some much better pics of the skyline, on a thread in the EE forum:
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=159148
The 'Skyline' is much better seen, as the commies can be seen
and here's an extra:

Sofia is a wonderful city, but I don't see much of a skyline. I do however see some high-rises, and the only thing that needs to happen now is some density. I say in 5-10 years, Sofia will have a really cool skyline as long as construction happens! :)

Hardly any talls, but some nice density. I give it a 5/10.

Personally I dont find the setting just amazing. Kinda generic. But the skyline is better than i expected, and its a beautiful city nonetheless. :) For looks I give it a 5/10 for its skyline...............6/10.

well there are better pics I haven't put here in some of the threads in the EE...
but meanwhile Datilguy you gave it more than I did (5,5), and I'm supposed to be nationalistic and bringing the city up, not beating it to the ground :D

8/10- nice density, very green, and nice mix of modern and old arquitecture but it needs a well-defined skyline.
