I highly recommend including a guided tour especially for your foreign guests. We took one in German language and my guests were fascinated from the Lady guide, it totally changed the way they approached the historical matter. Ask if the treasures are available because they are often replaced by replica because they are part of exhibition around the globe. Without the treasures it's not worth the time. My opinion.

A must, if you are coming sight seeing to Sofia. And if you are local, chances are, you have seen it more then a couple of times!

The NHM has a great location in the outskirts of Soria and amazing few to Vitosha mountain. There is a cafe i n the inner yard. If you like a trip to the mountain there is nice road that will take you to Beli mosteve and you can have a walk to Cherni vrah or to as far in the mountain as you feel like it. There is the Panorama road that offes a suberb few to Soria (at certain places). If you follow the road long w nenough you can go to Belchn bania and relax at the pool or visit ZarMali grad very near the resort.

The museum worth seeing. The history of the building is interesting, the collections are very rich. Nevertheless, the museum itself is a communist museum, with a nationalistic message. For instance, 4 centuries of history are almost not presented because Bulgaria was part of the Ottoman Empire They only show the orthodox art remains from that period (calling it resistance?) and 4 ottoman plates (with no legend attached).

The architecture and history of the building itself is just as interesting if not more than the exhibits which are mostly mediocre, poorly explained and scattered randomly. There is an eerie, creepy (in a good way) feeling walking into this building which takes you back 50 years.

Very rich and nicely organized museum. It will take at least a couple of hours to go through everything.

Largest Bulgarian museum. You can often see the Golden Treasure of Panagyurishte here.

Quite frankly, I had higher expectations for the exhibits. The building itself is arguably the better showpiece.
It's still worth a visit, though.response / report this review -

Very nice, has lots of collections organized by era. It's a bit tiring to go through everything in a couple of hours but on the grounds it has a lovely small cafe with a stunning view of Vitosha mountain.

Fairly poor national history museum, there is no logical story of Bulgarian history, just a few disjointed exhibits. There is very little writing to explain the importance of the displays. The displays are reasonably interesting, just not presented well. The museum location is also a huge pain being so far out of the city and not well serviced by public transport. It was a real shame. Save yourself 10 lev and do the free walking tour. Free wifi is a plus.
