Regional History Museum of Sofia

Museum of the history of Sofia itself, housed in the colourful old building of the Central Mineral [Water] Baths (built 1913). Exhibits include many luxurious items formerly belonging to Bulgaria's last monarchs.

Beautiful yet simple Ottoman-mosque. Built by Mimar Sinan. It's active and there is a guide inside.

3 buildings of Socialist Classicism architecture, around what was designed to be the city's representative centre. The buildings are Council of Ministers and the TSUM department store on the north side, the National Assembly (former Communist Party headquarters) with its iconic spire on the east side, the Presidential Administration (former Council of State) and the Balkan Hotel to the south side.

One of the largest in Europe.
