Der vielleicht eindrucksvollste Protzbau in Sofia aus der kommunistischen Ära. Eingerahmt von einer weitläufigen Parkanlage und schönen Wasserspielen. Architektonischer Gigantismus, der mal abschreckend und trostlos, dann wieder faszinierend und anziehend wirkt.

The National Palace of Culture in the Bulgarian capital... Sofia is a beautiful place with a large and beautiful square, clean air and no noise with the sound of the water... I loved it

Beautiful park to just sit and enjoy a nice summer evening. The fountains are lovely and the place is always vivid. Can recommend either for a stroll through the park or just a resting picnic.

Sofia is so joyful and the people are so nice! Everyone said otherwise until I visited it myself. The building looks really impressive even though it gives a cold vibe. Beautiful

Nice green space with lots of cafes and seating areas close to Vitosha Boulevard. Busy at the weekends much quieter during the week. Next to the Hilton where I stayed so passed through it a lot. Has its own metro station.

Large popular park that seems to be focal point for meeting or hanging out with friends. Lots of benches around, as well as grassy areas to rest or relax. Huge cultural building, water fountains, lion statue, church and a Berlin Wall fragment.

Has its own metro station

It is a multi-purpose place, quite big and spacious. A beautiful park is around it, with lots of cafeterias, planty of green and enough peace, that you don't feel the traffic. The park with this building is right next to the central pedestrian street, 5-10 minutes walking from other central points of the city. Nice view from the balcony at the 7th floor. The only negative point that I noticed, is that the toilets could have been a bit more clear.
