The Hilton hotel is located near the Sofia City Center Mall. Right now there is a lot of construction in this area because they are extending the metro line.

I've been living in Sofia for 2.5 years now. I do not live far from the Hilton.

The traffic here is absolutely horrendous and the drivers seem to make up their traffic laws as they go. It took me 1 month to get up the courage to drive here and I am not a person who is afraid of much. The roads are full of potholes. Parking is a nightmare and people park on the sidewalks. The air polllution has gotten real bad because of all the traffic and ancient cars here, so if you are sensitive to bad air quality be forewarned.

I never experienced Sofia as a tourist, only as an expat.

Wine is good and inexpensive here. So is the locally grown produce.
