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.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Sofia

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable times to visit Sofia are in January, August, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a comprehensive experience of the city's key landmarks and cultural sites, it is advisable to stay for at least 2 to 3 days. During your budget-friendly trip, you can explore a variety of attractions, including historical churches, fascinating museums, and charming cafes. This period offers great value for money, allowing you to immerse yourself in Sofia’s rich history and vibrant culture without straining your finances.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover cheap hotel deals in Sofia, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates for accommodation close to your travel dates. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions that could help you save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re more likely to see the best options. This way, if prices drop or rooms become available, you’ll be among the first to know for a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a hotel in Sofia. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and, at times, better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we will suggest more economical dates to enhance your chances of getting the best deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels located near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive; however, Sofia's excellent public transport links mean you might discover a more affordable independent hotel situated a bit further out that remains well connected.
