Having aspiration to be the EU member Bulgaria is trying to change and develop in all respects. Its capital is one of the most important places, representing the whole country.

The book market and the flea market are also not to be missed. Plus, while strolling along the streets you can observe a remarkable architectural style of this city - a blend of Neo-Baroque, Neo-Rococo and Neoclassicism.
