Culture Places Map
Culture in Sofia City:
Ivan Vazov National Theatre
My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The theatre is stunning, but you might end up standing or walking more than you think during intermission.
If you’re planning to snap some pics, I recommend doing it before the show. Once it starts, you might get shushed by the ushers, and nobody wants that!
Rila Monastery
St. Alexander Nevski Cathedral
The National Palace of Culture
Children's Museum "Muzeyko"
Plan your visit for around 2 PM. The mornings can be chaotic with school groups. By then it’s a bit quieter and you can enjoy the exhibits without too much rush.
St. George Rotunda
Boyana Church
St. Sofia Church
Make sure to spend a few minutes just sitting outside the church. The surrounding area has some great vibes and you can really soak in the history before heading in.
Try to visit early in the morning around 9 AM to avoid the crowds and get some nice photos without too many people in the frame. Trust me the early light is beautiful!
