Good source for Chinese goods , very big place for shopping, no good quality .
Too crowded & too many policemen checking people's documents for no obvious reason. Avoid at all costs.
Lovely park in the center. Would be a lot vetter if it wasnt under construction half of the time
The park used to be a fantastic place and now we ca only see the remnants of its greatness. Build in 1981 it literally moved the center of Sofia from around what we today call Independence Sq to the area around Vitosha blvd. and the National Palace of Culture. The park was designed to combine relaxation/walks area with kids' playground and a special place for dogs owners (at the back of the Palace). Now most of it has been taken over by skaters, the playground is a mess, same as the "doggy" place. Around the Palace things are under renovation and one can never be sure what will the result be. The saddest moment in its contemporary history was July 2017 when the remnants of the monument "1300 years of Bulgaria" were removed. I still give it four stars. It serves people well, but it's a far cry from what a fantastic place it used to be in the `80.
A very happening place with a huge open area in front. Unfortunately when I visited it was closed due to renovations. But it is still with visiting for all the crowd and kids in their BMX bike. There was also a drummer playing to well known rock songs!
Really nice, especially at night. Perfect for long strolls. It is always crowded. It is one of the most famous buildings in Sofia, even whole of Bulgaria.
It's ok, missing a kiddies playground. Otherwise tidy, clean, nice lawns and tree lined walkways. Free drinking fountains for big and small.
Center of Sofia. Greatest monument in here. A big complexe with a lot of good cafe terrace.
It's very nice now, after all the renovations. Great place to get some rest it drink a 🍺
A beautiful place. Especially from a distance. When you get closer you notice that is it kind of worn down, and that's a shame. But still nice.
