Hotels - Premium

Sense Hotel

Sofia's first upscale design hotel, balancing luxury and superb design with world-class service. Right on Sofia’s main boulevard, surrounded by architectural landmarks, and with a gorgeous rooftop bar. We sense approval.

Dining - Lunch with friends

Raketa Rakia Bar

It’s not a bar, but it has rakia. ‘Ave it! Then take a good look around at all the communist Bulgarian artefacts: old board games, posters, appliances, and other mementos for you to inspect and discuss while having a delicious lunch.

Dining: Healthy raw food lunch

Sun and Moon

It doesn’t get healthier, or tastier, for some than that! Raw food advanced.

Dining - Dinner with a view

Pri Orlite

The best view in town, simply marvelous at night. Soak it all in with a fancy glass of wine, like a proper bon vivant.

Before 10

Exquisite. Everything about this place is so good it hurts. The food, the service, the atmosphere. It’s on the cosy side, so book ahead, then rake through that seasonal menu and let the fairytale begin.

Shopping -Something for someone you love & something for yourself

Shipka

Called one of the best-kept secrets in town by none other than The New York Times, it’s the natural cosmetics boutique that just feels right. Pamper away in pure body ’n’ soul joy – in a vial.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

Sofia’s main tourist attraction – but there’s more to it than that. Stroll along at dusk and see it shimmering with light. Sheer beauty that calms the mind.

Things to see – Alternative Diversions

Vitosha Mountain

Yes, we’re very lucky that way. We have a city mountain park, meaning an actual mountain that’s only an hour away from the city center. Anyone for skiing? Hiking? Summer wine?
