Travel & Bars Desk, EU Correspondent
Sofia covers the travel and bars desk for barsforKings as its European correspondent. She writes the kind of city guide that answers the real question a traveler has at 7pm in a city they do not know. Where do I start, and where do I end up.
Based in Lisbon, she has spent years mapping the bar neighbourhoods of Barcelona, Paris, Berlin, and Copenhagen, the streets where good bars cluster and the ones that only look the part. She files from the table, not the press release.
Sofia oversees the European city guides and edits the neighbourhood pages that anchor each city on the site.
The first-night plan for a city you have never drunk in, by neighbourhood.
Where the good bars actually cluster, and why the tourist strip rarely is the answer.
The continental end of the list, from Lisbon's tascas to Barcelona's vermouth counters.
What is still worth your time when you land after midnight and want one good drink.
Sofia Reeves has written and reviewed 206 guides for barsforKings. A selection of recent work:
