Additional Information

Our journey will commence at the doorstep of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral - a predominant Orthodox cathedral in Eastern Europe and a crucial landmark in Bulgaria’s capital. As the group assembles, we’ll devote some time to mingle and allow everyone a brief opportunity to explore the cathedral and capture some photos before embarking on the Art Tour. Subsequently, I’ll guide you to a unique underground crypt - a museum dedicated to Bulgarian iconography. Our next stop will be the National Gallery, housed inside another historical cultural monument - the King’s Palace. From there, we’ll move to Sofia City Art Gallery, followed by a visit to a recently inaugurated contemporary art exhibit - the Nova Art Space. Next, we’ll traverse past the Presidency and step into the tunnels housing the Ancient Serdika Complex. We conclude our artistic expedition at a clandestine private gallery, where every participant will be offered a complimentary drink - a choice of wine, beer or water.

Great Art of Sofia! Perfect for your first day in the city! I - Great walking tour to see historical as well as modern pieces of art. We visited a number of museums and the host was quite knowledgeable about the history of the city and buildings. I’m an art fiend so I thoroughly enjoyed viewing it all in perfect weather. Sign up for this tour whether you’re an art collector or not - so much to see and learn!

Of some things there's never enough - Don't have enough time to study every art installation or exhibiton going on in Sofia? Hop on a quick peek with intriguing guide into what bulgarian (and other) artists have to offer, accompanied by the bits and pieces of history, so it all falls into place in the end... And that's not the end! But no more spoilers :) The only limit is time. Of some things there's never enough.
