Location

Enjoy one of the best locations among hotels in Sofia city centre
Perched atop the vibrant yellow pavement squares that adorn the city centre, the Radisson Blu Grand Hotel in central Sofia provides a modern contrast to its historic surroundings. Standing out among hotels in Sofia city centre, this Bulgarian capital city hotel shares its impressive address in Narodno Sabranie Square with three noteworthy city landmarks – the Bulgarian Parliament that gave the plaza its name; the monument of the Russian Tsar Alexander II, who led the Russian-Turkish war in the late 19th century; and the magnificent golden-domed St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral – the largest Orthodox church in the Balkans.

This Sofia city centre hotel's location overlooks Narodno Sabranie Square, a testament to the rich history of Sofia, one of the oldest cities in Europe. The ceramic bricks that graciously cover the centre of the city, including the Square, were laid as a wedding gift from the Austro-Hungarian emperor to the young Bulgarian monarch Ferdinand in the early 20th century. In addition to the significant archaeological, historical and cultural monuments left by the Thracians, Romans, Byzantines, Slavs and Turks over time, this city at the foothills of Vitosha Mountain also features great opportunities for winter sports and summer picnics.
