On the Grid : National Theatre Garden

"Named after Bulgaria’s most renowned author — Ivan Vazov — the National Theatre is a beautiful Neoclassical building and important landmark of Sofia. In front of it lies a vast garden with many benches, lawns and a fountain providing coolness in the summer days. During the day it is the perfect place for repos accompanied by street jazz musicians. At night though, the garden turns into a meeting spot for hundreds of young people who have fun way into the night." - Next Digital Creative

*⭐ Ivan Vazov National Theatre – Stunning by Day, Magical by Night* One of Sofia’s most beautiful buildings, the Ivan Vazov National Theatre combines elegant architecture with rich cultural history. By day, it’s impressive — but at night, the special lighting transforms it into something truly magical. The façade glows warmly, highlighting the columns, statues, and details in a way that feels almost cinematic. The surrounding garden adds charm and invites you to sit and admire the view. Even if you don’t see a show, visiting at night is an unforgettable experience. *Rating:* ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I wasn’t able to go in to watch a play but the outside of the building is beautiful and the garden around is very nice!

The Ivan Vazov National Theatre (Bulgarian: Народен театър „Иван Вазов“, Naroden teatar „Ivan Vazov“) is Bulgaria's national theatre, as well as the oldest and most authoritative theatre in the country and one of the important landmarks of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. It is located in the centre of the city, with the facade facing the City Garden. The Ivan Vazov National Theatre has a well-equipped main stage with 750 seats, a smaller 120-seat stage and an additional 70-seat one on the fourth floor. The theatre has been host to productions from notable theatre directors such as Alexander Morfov who has been the Chief director since 1993. The building's facade is depicted on the obverse of the Bulgarian 50 levs banknote, issued in 1999 and 2006.

A nice visually architectural building which is worthy of a few photographs. It is located opposite the City Park which is OK for a visit at the same time.

Love this building and its stunning Neo-Baroque architecture. It is situated in the very center of Sofia and is considered the symbol of Bulgarian arts and literature! Absolutely beautiful, especially during the summer when the fountains work! The interior is equally impressive with all the ornate details. Highly recommended that you book your tickets ahead of time if you decide to attend a performance. This is beyond a cultural experience!

Just visited the National Theater Ivan Vazov, and the whole area around it is such a perfect chill spot! The theater’s architecture really reminded me of the Bolshoi — super grand and elegant. I didn’t go inside, but just being there was a vibe. The park in front is awesome for sitting, people-watching, and just taking in the city. There are plenty of comfy benches under nice trees, and restaurants around to grab food and enjoy a picnic. The water fountain keeps the area nice and breezy, even during the hot peak times. If you're exploring Sofia, it's definitely worth stopping by to relax and enjoy the atmosphere!
