About National Art Gallery of Bulgaria
The National Art Gallery of Bulgaria sits in the government quarter of Sofia, the part of the city defined by yellow cobblestones, the Council of Ministers on Dondukov and the Constitutional Court behind the Presidency. Visitors come for the galleries and for the streets around them, which most travellers mean when they say central Sofia. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral anchors the area and draws coach parties from 10am to 4pm, when the steps fill with queues for photos. The cathedral's north wall hosts a flea market selling Soviet medals and icons. Security is heavy around the ministries, and the blocks are well lit with embassy patrols. A loop from the Presidency courtyard down Tsar Osvoboditel past the Russian Church of St Nikolas, left at the National Assembly to Alexander Nevsky, behind the cathedral to St Sofia Basilica and back via Moskovska takes about 45 minutes at an easy pace on flat, paved ground.
Tips for staying near National Art Gallery of Bulgaria
- Alexander Nevsky Cathedral draws coach parties from 10am to 4pm, so time your visit outside those hours if you want the square without the queues for photos.
- Taxi touts get aggressive around ploshtad Nezavisimost after 23:00. Walk two blocks away from the square before hailing one.
- If you drive, Arena di Serdica Residence Hotel has car parking, and Baratero Opera Apartment, Industrial Look Apartment Top Centre Free Parking and Quiet & airy modern apt. Top Centre Free Parking all offer free car parking.
- The area is heavily guarded around the ministries; keep clear of checkpoints outside the Council of Ministers and the Constitutional Court rather than lingering for photos.
- The Presidency to Nevsky loop takes about 45 minutes at an easy pace, so allow that much on flat, paved ground and combine the gallery with the cathedral, St Sofia Basilica and the City Garden in one outing.
