You can start your day of exploration with coffee and breakfast in the comfort of your room or terrace while enjoying the sunrise over the glistening golden domes of St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral, one of the symbols of the Bulgarian Capital. From Narodno Sabranie Square you can head down Tsar Osvoboditel Boulevard, famously referred to by locals as the “Yellow Cobbles”. On your way to the National Palace of Culture, you will come across many of the city’s landmarks – the Parliament, the Russian Church, the National Art Gallery, here you can take a small detour by crossing the road to the stunningly beautiful National Theater and relax with a cup of tea in the serene park area at the heart of the city.
Only meters away following the path of the “Yellow Cobbles” you will find yourself at Nezavisimost Square where all important Government Buildings are located – enjoy the Changing of Guards in front of the Presidency and the picturesque Council of Ministers Building. After throwing a coin into the fountain, you can deviate from the Yellow Cobbles and explore Sofia’s secrets by strolling down the narrow Saborna Street which will lead you to St Nedelya Church. Passing through the square you will see the Palace of Justice on the right and Vitosha Boulevard straight ahead. The beautiful, lifesize Lion statutes, located in front of the Palace of Justice are one of the country's symbols even giving the name of the Bulgarian currency 'Lev'.
