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

National Museum in Sofia – A Fascinating Stop in the Heart of the City We visited the National Museum in Sofia, right in the middle of the city, and it was such a fascinating experience. I even heard that parts of the collection are made from gold, which was incredible to see up close. I’m so glad we made the trip here. The museum really helps you understand the depth of Bulgaria’s history and culture, and the city itself is beautiful to explore on foot. ✨ Final thought: If you’re in Sofia, take the time to walk around and don’t miss the museum. It’s both educational and awe-inspiring.

Even just visiting the exterior, the Ivan Vazov National Theatre is one of the city’s most charming landmarks. Built in a neoclassical style, it’s an architectural gem and considered one of the most important and beautiful buildings in Sofia. The façade, with six sturdy columns supporting the triangular pediment where Apollo and the Muses of the Arts are depicted, is truly magnificent. The theatre sits across from a lovely park with fountains, making it the perfect spot for photos or a relaxing break.

The Ivan Vazov National Theatre is one of Sofia’s most beautiful landmarks and the oldest theatre in Bulgaria. Built in 1906 by Austrian architects Helmer & Fellner, it stands proudly in the City Garden with its elegant neoclassical façade and golden details. Named after the great Bulgarian writer Ivan Vazov, it has survived fire and war, remaining a true symbol of art and national spirit. A must-see spot for anyone visiting Sofia.

Bulgaria's national theater and the oldest in the country. A landmark worth the visit while having a stroll in the City Garden and enjoying the dancing ballerina fountain.

Gorgeous theatre right in the center of Sofia. I couldn’t go inside this time, but I walked around the park next to it.

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!
