How many stars is Popa Apartment?
Popa Apartment is a 3-star hotel in Sofia-Grad.
What is the best area to stay in Sofia for first-time visitors?
Sredets is the answer for a first visit — it puts you within a 10-minute walk of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Sveta Nedelya, the Serdica ruins and the yellow-brick government quarter. Oborishte just to the north is quieter but equally central. Both sit above Serdika metro, so the airport is 20 minutes away on Line 1. Expect three-star doubles at €50-80.
Which is the cheapest month to visit Sofia?
The first two weeks of January are the cheapest, once New Year is over and before the Vitosha ski weekends peak. Three-star doubles in Vazrazhdane or Serdika drop to €35-40, and even four-stars off Vitosha Boulevard fall under €75. November is a close second. Avoid Orthodox Easter and 24 May, when rates jump by a third.
How many nights do I need in Sofia?
Three nights is the minimum for the centre plus Boyana Church and Vitosha, and four is more comfortable. Add a fifth if you want the Rila Monastery day (240 km round trip) without rushing back. Two nights only works if you are treating Sofia as a stopover between Belgrade and Istanbul. Anything beyond five nights is better split with Plovdiv, two hours away by train.
How do I get from Sofia Airport to the city centre?
Take Metro Line 1 from Terminal 2 to Serdika — it costs €0.80 and takes about 20 minutes, running until roughly midnight. From Terminal 1 there is a free shuttle to T2 for the metro. Official OK Supertrans taxis from outside the terminal run €8-13 to Sredets; ignore anyone approaching you inside the hall. Uber does not operate in Bulgaria.
Do I need a car in Sofia?
No, not for the city itself — the metro, trams and your feet cover everything from Sredets to Boyana. A car helps only if you are combining Sofia with Rila Monastery, Koprivshtitsa or the Iskar Gorge, and even then day tours from central Sofia are often easier. Central parking sits in blue (€1/hour) and green (€0.50/hour) zones with SMS enforcement. If you do rent, ask the hotel about a garage before driving in.

About Sredets
Sredets is the government quarter at the heart of central Sofia, where yellow cobblestones lead past the Council of Ministers on Dondukov, the Constitutional Court behind the Presidency and ministries with armed guards outside. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral draws coach parties between 10am and 4pm, so arriving outside those hours leaves the square quieter. A flea market runs along the cathedral's north wall. A walking loop starts at the Presidency courtyard on ploshtad Sveta Nedelya, heads east down Tsar Osvoboditel past the Russian Church of St Nikolas, turns left at the National Assembly to reach the cathedral, continues behind it to the small St Sofia Basilica and returns via Moskovska past the Ivan Vazov Theatre and the City Garden, taking about 45 minutes on flat, paved ground. This is one of the safest parts of the city, well lit, with embassy security patrols and metro service until midnight.
