The best luxury boutique hotels
Sofia was born over 7000 years ago. Located on the foot of the Vitosja mountains, Sofia has been a stop on the route to the Black Sea for thousands of years. In the center of the city the impressive communist architecture overshadows the Roman churches, which give away the city's rich history. Bulgaria was dominated by various people and they all left their traces. The St. Jorischurch and the Petka church both date back to the 4th century. Also the Sofia Church is over 1500 years old. The Alexander Nevski cathedral is dedicated to the 200.000 Russian soldiers, who died in the Russian-Turkish war. A little further down the road a mosk reminds of that century-long Turkish regime. Enjoy the many authentic cafe's on the Vitosha Boulevard, who entertain their guests with folk music, singing and dancing in addition to a menu of delicious Bulgarian dishes and drinks. Listen to the musicians on the streets, stroll down the markets. Take a hike in the forests and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Sofia. At night, visit the Swingin Hall for an unforgettable evening with Bulgarian and international musicians.
