ARTE HOTEL,
?????, ????????

SOF AIRPORT - 3.6 MI/5.8 KM W
HOTEL ARTE IS SITUATED RIGHT AT THE HEART OF
SOFIA NEXT TO THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS AND
OPPOSITE THE PRESIDENCY. BEHIND US ARE THE
CENTRAL BATHS CONSTRUCTED IN 1957 WHICH CONSISTS
OF A TYPICAL TURKSIH BUILDING STYLE AND ARE VERY
INTRESTING FOR OUR INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS.
APPROX. 700M AWAY FROM THE HOTEL IS SITUATED THE
MOST SPECTACULAR CATHEDRAL IN BULGARIA CALLED
ALEXANDER NEVSKI. IT IS BUILT BETWEEN 1882 AND
1912 IN THE NEO-BYZANTINE STYLE TYPICAL FOR
RUSSIAN CHURCHES IN THE 19TH CENTURY. FURTHER
DOWN THE HILL TOWARDS THE IDEAL CENTER IS THE
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY BUILT IN THREE STAGES IN 1884
UNTILL 1928 WHERE THE PARLIAMENT IS ACCOMMDATED
IN NOWADAYS. ACROSS THE BOULEVARD ARE THE TWO
FURTHER IMPRESSIVE EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENTS -
THE CYRIL AND METHODIUS NATIONAL LIBRARY WITH A
STATUE OF THE TWO BROTHERS IN THE GARDEN AREA
DIRECTLY IN FRONT AND THE SOFIA UNIVERSITY
ANOTHER BAROQUE-STYLE BUILDING FROM THE 1920. ON
THE TWO SIDES OF THE BUILDING ARE TWO LARGE
SCULPTURES FROM THE BROTHER EVLOGY AND HRISTO
GEORGIEV WHO DONATED THE LAND AND FUNDS FOR THIS
BUILDING. THE HOTEL IS QUITE CLOSE TO THE CENTRAL
SIGHTSEEING POINTS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE AND IS
VERY WELL CONNECTED TO ALL SORTS OF
TRANSPORTATION.
