Culture & Events in Sofia
Bulgaria has a great cultural tradition that was fostered by years of Communist governments. Even though there is now very little money available for the arts, Bulgaria still boasts world-class opera singers and musicians who mostly reside abroad. You really shouldn’t miss the opportunity to catch one of their performances on their rare visits to their home country.Other forms of art, such as theatre, are less accessible for foreigners due to the language barrier.
In the past few years concert organisers have begun to attract big names to Sofia, such as Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Depeche Mode. Their concerts usually take place at football stadiums. Tickets to pop and rock concerts in Sofia are expensive by local standards but still cheaper than they would be abroad.
Ticket prices compared to the West are extremely inexpensive. Sofia is the place to give opera, ballet or classical music a try - if it is not to your liking you can always walk out and not much lost.
Listed here are the main cultural venues in Sofia and what you can expect to see there. You won't run out of things to do in Sofia!
