The Sofia Center Tour will guide you along 35 of the most beautiful buildings in the central part of Sofia. You will get to know who lived in these buildings, and what purpose they served or still serve. We will also tell you about the architectural style and the beautiful ornaments that were used to decorate the buildings. You will visit many buildings in the architectural styles of Neo-Baroque, Art Nouveau, Neo-Renaissance, and more.

During this tour, you will get to know more about a famous Bulgarian sculptor, who in 1944 got imprisoned and spent four days in a water-filled cell up to his ankles. You will also get to know the person who composed the song "Proud Stara Planina", which in 1964 became the anthem of Bulgaria. Also, you will get to know a Jewish dentist, who was a holder of a medal for bravery for his participation in the First Balkan War, who fell victim to fascist nationalists who poisoned him with car gases in his garage.
