Sofia and related destinations

Beneath the golden domes of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Sofia reveals itself as a city where Roman ruins peek between communist blocks and stylish cafes. The yellow-brick lanes of Vitoshka Boulevard offer prime people-watching while sipping Bulgaria's potent coffee. At the Central Mineral Baths, admire the ornate facade before heading to nearby hot springs where locals have soaked for centuries. The Ivan Vazov National Theatre stands regally amid Borisova Gradina Park's leafy paths. Don't miss the ancient Serdica ruins beneath modern streets, casually incorporated into subway stations as if finding 2000-year-old mosaics during your commute is perfectly normal.

Sofia Balkan Palace

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel and great location. The gym was pathetic though and the housecleaning staff would either knock on the door at 9am and one morning 10. I asked them to come back at 11 and they never cleaned the room until repeatedly asking both them and the front desk. The room was finally cleaned around 4:15 in the afternoon. I would have expected more from this hotel."

Grand Hotel Sofia

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are huge! Nice outside area to hang out."

Hotel Premier Sofia Airport

8/10 Good

"Nice, basically airport hotel. Convenient location and reasonably clean with a surprisingly good breakfast included. The underground parking was a little scary (very dark and cave-like) but only $20 Euro per day. All in all a very agreeable stay before our flight home."

Grand Hotel Millennium Sofia

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic 5 star hotel! Great staff and super clean and large room. Awesome location right on Vitosha Blvd. Parking was easy but a tad expensive ($30 Euro per night). One thing to note - not all rooms have access to the pool, which is a wonderful perk. We had to pay an extra $80 Euro to use pool complex : ( The top floor bar is spectacular - definitely go! All in all a great hotel!"

Ramada by Wyndham Sofia City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful and friendly reception desk. Included amenities were unexpected but nice to have. Good location close by city centre"
