Sofia is the largest city and capital of Bulgaria. Sofia City Province has an area of 1344 km² while the surrounding and much bigger Sofia Province is 7,059 km². The city is situated in the western part of the country at the northern foot of the Vitosha mountain, in the Sofia Valley that is surrounded by the Balkan mountains to the north. The valley has an average altitude of 550 metres (1,800 ft). Unlike most European capitals, Sofia does not straddle any large river, but is surrounded by comparatively high mountains on all sides.

Rome is the capital city and a special comune of Italy as well as the capital of the Lazio region. With 2,860,009 residents in 1,285 km² (496.1 sq mi), it is also the most populated comune. Rome is in the Lazio region of central Italy on the Tiber river. The original settlement developed on hills that faced onto a ford beside the Tiber Island, the only natural ford of the river in this area. The Rome of the Kings was built on seven hills: the Aventine Hill, the Caelian Hill, the Capitoline Hill, the Esquiline Hill, the Palatine Hill, the Quirinal Hill, and the Viminal Hill. Modern Rome is also crossed by another river, the Aniene, which flows into the Tiber north of the historic centre.
