People from this region are supposed to be related to the ThracianSerdi tribe. Other names for Sofiahave been known to be Triaditsa and Serdets. This central Balkan city, locatedin west Bulgaria,happens to be a lovely pristine spot practically hemmed in by verdurousmountains. To get into the city you need to get through three mountain passes.Several low rivers criss-cross the city including the Perlovska and the Vladayathat later merges with the Iskar River flowing nearby.                                                                          Most visitors, on gaining entry into Sofia, are left speechless thanks to thegorgeous mountain ridges, crags and cliffs. Against the velvety green andundulating landscape nestle houses with turreted rooftops making the Bulgariancapital look even more picturesque.                                                                                     There are plenty of places to stay in at Sofia thanks to a proliferation of hotels,inns, and hostels. For those looking to sample a high living standard during theirstay, there are five star hotels’ galore. Those seeking a convenient locationneed to look no further than the Sofia Sheraton which is an old buildingconverted into a five star luxury hotel. Most tourists prefer this five starhotel over others in view of its proximity to the National Opera, Saint SofiaChurch, National Theatre, The Central Baths etc.                                                                                                   And if you are looking for something a little more exotic,then try the luxury hotel Hilton Sofia with a glass rooftop through which youwill be able to contemplate the stars! All the guest rooms in this luxury hotelhave internet access, an in-room safe, mini-bar, tea and coffee-makingfacilities, satellite and pay TV, etc.                                                                                                 Besides, there are quite a few other five star luxury hotelssuch as the Rodina, Holiday Inn Sofia, and Best Western to pick from.  Taking a walk around the city you will come to realize that Sofia is a place ofchurches, monasteries and ancient buildings. Not too far from the five starhotel Sofia Sheraton stands the Church of Saint Sofia (known asTsurka Sveta Sofia in the local language). This is the oldest Eastern Orthodox Churchin all of Sofiaand has been built on the site of several ancient places of worship, even anold Roman theatre.                                                                                          If you go into the Presidency yard you’ll come across theoldest architectural structure in the city, St. George Rotonda. The monumentthat was erected during the fourth century has served variously as abaptistery, church, a mosque, and church over time.  Apart from churches and museums, Sofia is also famous for its natural beauty.A stroll up and down Vitosha Street (named after Vitosha Mountain)reveals as much. You can stop by and buy some rare antiques such as OldBulgarian swords and medals. It is a good idea to have a local to do the bargainingfor you so you don’t end up getting ripped off. Once again, not too far from the Sheraton is the famous TZUMMall, a capitalist remnant of the communist era where you can buy almosteverything. Have fun!
