Hello, we will be in Sofia for 4 full days mid-May. We are very active seniors, also something of foodies. Would love recommendations for a hotel (4-5 star), and anything else for 4 days - particularly restaurants. (We eat everything, except I'm allergic to shellfish, but my husband loves it.) Also interested in a possible bicycle tour of the city, and possibly Jewish history tour.

I spent 12 solo nights in Sofia in 2023 at the Eurostars Hotel and a couple of nights at the Arte Hotel as part of the Rick Steves Best of Bulgaria tour.
My comments and recommendations on the hotels are in my trip report, along with quite a few restaurants, my activities in Sofia and my day trips beyond Sofia.
ETA: The Eurostars Hotel (4 star) is the nicer of the two, but the Arte Hotel is the typical, more centrally located Rick Steves tour hotel. If I were to go back, I would stay at the Eurostars. Since you are active, the extra walk to the central attractions might not bother you. I preferred the Eurostars location. You should read reviews to see if Eurostars is at the standard that you like.
