Inquisitive minds will enjoy spending some time at Ethnographical Museum. Here, you can study dozens of fascinating exhibits and displays that help breathe life back into days gone by.

This collection of historical artifacts is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Sofia City Center. But Ethnographical Museum isn't the only drawcard in the area. Alexander Nevski Cathedral, Mount Vitosha, and Ivan Vazov National Theatre are some other worthwhile sights nearby.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,005 reviews)

Fantastic hotel with pleasant staff. Check in was easy although we struggled to park even in the underground. Seemed a lot of cars with long stay papers in the windscreen. Room was really big but carpet has what looked like a cigarette burn in it. Either way suited us. The best thing about the hotel is we had an early flight and they put on an early breakfast from 3am! Fantastic! Sandwiches and fruit with drinks. Excellent touch. I will definitely be booking again on my next visit to Sofia and would highly recommend
