Zdravey & Welcome to Sofia Hotels - Link booking site!

A colourful, if controversial, history of political and religious invasion has meant Sofia has several places of historical and cultural interest worth visiting, among other attractions. These include the splendid Alexander Nevski Cathedral (1912), the more contemporary Ivan Vazoff Theatre, a classic Russian Church (1913), the historic Bania Bashi Mosque, the Rotunda of St. George and the National Assembly.

While in Sofia, visiting the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Boyana Church and National History Museum are musts. If you're looking to go on a day trip, try the Vitosha Mountain, and other world famous places of interest such as Rila Monastery and Koprivshtitsa. Taking a local tour is a great way to see all these highlights with the help of a knowledgeable local guide. From Sofia, you can head down to Athens on the way to a holiday in Paphos or Limassol in Cyprus.

Sofia means 'wisdom' and has focused on developing its infrastructure to support international conferences and fairs, a natural boost to trade and commerce. Hence the number of business travellers from around the world has been steadily growing, meaning there is now a wide variety of different accommodation on offer for all kinds of visitors. There are many hotels in Sofia of international standard. Fancy business centres and deluxe hotels are mushrooming and bustling with activity. But if you are looking for tranquil surroundings, the many boutique hotels and hostels in Sofia's suburbs will offer that and more - warm service and home-like comfort.

Jazz and rock clubs or piano bars are buzzing till the early hours of the morning. The discotheques offer a great vibe, ringing true for most of the young fans. As good as any other European capital, Sofia does have an amazing nightlife and nightclubs and casinos don't close before dawn! So come to Sofia and have the party of a lifetime! Use our map to choose a Sofia hotel close to the main party area - or any other area for that matter!

Shopping in Sofia can be whatever you want it to be: a designer trip through fancy labels, or a leisurely amble through traditional Bulgarian wares. Big malls offer designer clothes, antiques, modern art and trinkets. Specialty shops devoted to music or traditional Bulgarian crafts are also a modern feature. And all are still offered at some of the cheapest prices in Europe. Tours in Sofia also give you the opportunity to visit locals, and see these local crafts being made.

The expat and tourist streams have induced many restaurants in Sofia to serve both Bulgarian and European dishes. A taverna (kruchma) meal is a must for authentic fare. As if scrumptious Bulgarian dishes and local drinks were not enough of a treat, you get some lively folk music to tap your feet to.
