National Palace of Culture (NDK)

We had a fantastic experience on the guided tour of the National Palace of Culture! The guide was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating facts about the building’s architecture, history, and impressive stage technology. Walking through the grand halls and learning about the cultural significance of the venue made me appreciate it even more. The tour was well-organized, engaging, and offered a unique behind-the-scenes look at one of Sofia’s most iconic landmarks. Highly recommended for anyone interested in architecture, culture, or simply looking to discover something new in the city!

Hey, we are Vicky 🇵🇪 and Malte 🇩🇪 from the travel blog Traveling Is Our Passion. For our full one-day Sofia itinerary, check out our blog! The National Palace of Culture is an impressive building in the heart of Sofia. While it mainly hosts events and conferences, its central location makes it a convenient stop on a walking route through the city. Worth a quick look if you’re exploring nearby sights.

Beautiful well manicured Park with cultural centre and fountains. Very busy when we visited on a Saturday but there was adequate seating and it felt very safe. Close to Metro stop. We stopped there for a picnic and although it was very busy it had a decent vibe.

Love this place. Day and night it's full with people(locals and tourists). The fountains are super nice and light up at dark. You can find people doing tricks, spinning fire, playing music, etc. great place.

this is a national palace of culture. and at the same time it is one of the most dirty places in Sofia. The place near the building is pretty cool with fountains and some kind of small park, it is nice. But the building itself seems quite abandoned. Shame on administration

Huge open space with large tiered fountains that are fun to sit by, large park areas to stroll or sit and relax in the shade, a small outdoor market in one corner of the park. One of Sofia's prettiest parks.

Nice spot for local Christmas market. The decorations towards the Christmas period is absolutely stunning, focussing on eco-friendly stuff. The markets are wide, close to 54 stalls and the pricing is very nominal.

It is a very well organized music hall and every spectator has its own number of seats. The sound is very clear and massive. We went to Nikos oikonomopoulos live concert and we had a really great time.
