February 27, 2022 Darwin Bolte

Surrounded by sprawling parkland, Sofia, the capital and largest city of the Republic of Bulgaria, lies at the foot of popular ski mountain, Vitosha. With a history that stretches over seven millennia, ruin-rich Sofia is one of Europe's oldest cities. The National Historical Museum is one of Eastern Europe's most extensive. Wide, cobblestone boulevards, charming boutiques and truly electrifying nightlife star in this city of 1.3 million. Trolleys, trams and buses traverse the dynamic city.

Went there June 2019 with a 22 year-old and 3.5 year-old. The little one didn't get much of it, but had lots of fun, especially in the baby area. The big one loved it! Muzeiko is an amazing kids' science museum that not many countries in Europe have! Many different areas with different science fields, enough opportunity to play while exploring and learning. Also the food in the canteen was quite good especially for a museum. Love love love it! Would come back any time again!

When I entered the gallery, I felt like Alice in the Wonderland! It a magical experience - on every step I made, there was a unique piece of art, discovering so many different and original handmade products designed by local artists. I admire the fact that the gallery supports local artists giving them the possibility to exhibit their creation in such a cosy and inspiring space. I have also visited the gallery during a workshop - the best occasion to meet like-minded people.

The Red Flat

The Red Flat is not a typical museum, but an interactive experience and a time machine aiming to send you back to the 1980’s - the last stage of the communist regime in Bulgaria. By entering the flat, you will visit the home of an average family and discover what everyday life was like for ordinary Bulgarians during the Cold War.
