Street Map and Route Planning
Directions
| Bus: | From the central train station & the central bus station: The two stations are located at a distance of just 150m from each other. So the ways of transportation to Sofia Guesthouse by public transport or taxi are all the same. Using public transport you could get to Sofia Guesthouse by tram number 12. It passes along the same boulevards and streets mentioned in the walking version above. You have to get off on "Patriarch Evtimiy" station. Again do not forget to buy and punch a ticket or two (one for you and one for your rucksack if it is larger than 60x40x40cm). Pay attention for your wallet in the tram as the segment between the central train/bus stations and "Patriarch Evtimiy" station is favourite place of many pickpockets in Sofia. |
| Metro: | The nearest Metro station is 'Serdika'. Take the exit to 'Sveta Nedelya' church and just in front of the Court House (on the right side some 50 m after the church) turn left and walk along the tram railway along "Alabin" Str. and "Graf Ignatiev" Str., passing through the open-air books market at "Slavejkov" square. Reaching the monument of Patriarch Evtimiy 250m after the square, turn right and following the street of the same name you will find Sofia Guesthouse on the left side just 350m after the monument. |
| Parking: | Sofia Guesthouse does not have a parking facility of its own, but the street we are on is a part of the "Blue Zone" which desgnates parts of the centre where you can park at a price of 1 lev (0.5 EUR) per hour |
| Location: | Sofia Guesthouse is located at: 27 "Patriarch Evtimiy" Blvd. in the very center of Sofia and just 350 m from the most famous meeting point in Sofia - the monument of Patriarch Evtimiy (conditionally named "Popa" in Bulgarian). The tiny corner between the streets "Patriarch Evtimiy" and "Graf Ignatiev" is the favourite place for appointments among young people before they go to some of the neighbouring beer-houses, pizzas, pubs etc. The distance to other sites of interest is as follows: the National Palace of Culture (450 m), the Alexander Nevski Cathedral (1000 m), the National Stadium (750 m), the open-air books market "Slavejkov" (400 m), "Sveta Nedelya" square & the House of the President (1000 m), the Parliament (850 m) etc. |

| Airport: | We offer an airport pick-up service at a price of 9EUR per person. If the pick-up is between 18:00h and 09:30h we charge additional 25EUR per car, regardless of the number of passengers. If you want to reach us by bus: Take the bus number 84 or 284 to the last stop (25-30 min). Do not forget to buy and punch a ticket in the bus, because most probably you will be checked by a conductor few minutes after the bus starts (one ticket for you and one for your rucksack if it is larger than 60x40x40cm). When you get off you will have to walk about 10min along "Vasil Levski" Blvd., passing by the "Patriarch Evtimiy" monument and again following the street of the same name you will reach Sofia Guesthouse on the left side of the boulevard (see the map). Another option is to take a taxi from the airport. It will cost about 8-12 leva (4-6 Euro) depending on the traffic in the center. |
