A must visit in Sofia. Take Bus 2 to the museum as it is uphill. A beautiful setting with amazing architecture. Not all exhibits have an English translation but you will still learn a lot about the history of Bulgaria. If you visit when there is good weather, do sit in the outdoor cafe and soak in the views.

This was my first visit to the museum. Somehow I expected more but still I was fascinated from all the exhibits. You can feel the history at this place. In my opinion, there too many stones and columns from Roman times. Unfortunately, some of the most important exhibits are copies. The interior needs to be refurbished and put into the modern age - otherwise communism can be felt from every corner. ? Toilets are clean but old. There's a small café on the 2nd floor, hall 3. Prices there are fair but cash only. Regular entry fee for the museum is 12 BGN, paid with a Revolut card. In general, the museum with the adjacent park at the foothill of Vitosha mountain is a great place for groups and families. Highly recommend it.

This is an excellent museum with all periods of Bulgarian history and culture. I was fortunate that so much of the commentary is in English. I was impressed by the Greek and Roman exhibits and much of the Bulgarian history through the ages, the beautiful costumes and dress and the interesting link with the Saxe Coburgs and the British Royal family, especially Prinxe Albert and Victoria. The architecture is very interesting and so many relics available to see. I highly recommend it.
