Low-cost and loaded with historical and archaeological appeal, the Bulgarian capital, Sofia, blends the magic of Eastern Europe with all the conveniences of a modern city. Named after a 13th-century Russian prince, the iconic and very centrally located Aleksander Nevski Cathedral is notable for its striking gold domes and atmospheric interior featuring murals, mosaics and lavish chandeliers. Built in the Neo-Byzantine style, one of the building's star attractions is the vast collection of Orthodox icons in the crypt, the largest of its kind in Europe. Don't miss the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Boyana Church dating back to the 13th century where its ninety amazing murals rank among the best examples of Bulgarian medieval artwork. Sofia's top cultural attraction is arguably the Archaeological Museum housed in a former 15th-century mosque: the collection is wide-ranging and includes rare Roman artifacts, a golden Thracian burial mask from 4 BC and a splendid floor mosaic from nearby St Sofia Church. A drive out to the Vitosha Mountains is the perfect day-trip for people exploring the area with a car hire in Sofia. Covering more than 100 square-miles, and the centrepiece of the oldest nature park in the Balkans, there's much to discover in this gloriously verdant mountain district, including the famous Boyana Waterfall and several old monasteries. Sofia ia also well situated for excursions to the spectacular Rila Lake District about an hour's drive south of the city and Plovdiv, Bulgaria's gorgeous second city, one of the oldest continually-inhabited places in the world that's particularly notable for its perfectly-preserved Roman arena located right in the heart of the town centre.
Established in 1954, and now a leading entity in the global car rental industry, Auto Europe is fully committed to helping you organise your trip to Sofia and enjoy your holiday as cheaply as possible. You can pick up your car hire in Sofia either downtown or from Sofia Airport a few miles east of the city centre. Due to the strong working relationships we have with all the most reliable rental providers in Sofia and elsewhere in Bulgaria, we can offer rates much lower than booking direct, along with the added bonus of being able to provide you with the widest choice of vehicles available on the Internet. For total peace of mind, please read the comments left by some of Auto Europe's past visitors to the city in the car hire reviews in Sofia section below.
