As Sofia gears up to bid farewell to 2023 and usher in the new year, the city promises a vibrant tapestry of cultural events and performances spanning outdoor and indoor venues. The Bulgarian capital is set to host a plethora of concerts, theatrical productions, and festive gatherings, creating a diverse and engaging celebration for residents and guests alike.

A retro vintage tram is back on Sofia's streets, ushering in the festive spirit for the holiday season.

Starting today, December 18, at 3:00 PM, the Christmas-themed tram departed from "Vazrazhdane" square, as announced by the Urban Mobility Centre.

Due to the high summer temperatures, from today, July 14, 2023 (Friday), the Bulgarian Red Cross starts distributing bottled mineral water in the capital during the hot hours of the day. The organization's volunteers will be from 12:00 p.m. at two busy locations in Sofia - on "Slaveykov Square" and in the space in front of the National Palace of Culture.

More than 50 museums and galleries in Sofia will join the "European Night of Museums" initiative. With free admission, there will be exhibitions, concerts, workshops, films and organized tours in cultural spaces in Sofia and the country.

On the occasion of 100 days since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Sofia Municipality has set up a special installation - a blue canvas, on which anyone who wishes can leave a yellow flower, a symbol of empathy for Ukrainian citizens.

A 100-meter blue canvas with yellow roses and toys has been placed on the capital's Slaveykov Square.

A speed limit of 30 km/h is being introduced in part of downtown Sofia today.

It covers the square between the boulevards "Pencho Slaveykov", "Prague", "Skobelev", "Vitosha".

February 10 was the deadline for placing road signs to mark the beginning and end of the so-called "Zone 30".

The new ambassador of the United States of America, Herro Mustafa, made a cultural tour of Sofia.

Ambassador Herro Mustafa walked the streets of Sofia this past weekend to continue discovering the capital's rich cultural heritage.

Due to the expected high temperatures, the Sofia Municipality will distribute mineral water free of charge to four locations in Sofia.
On the square in front of St. Nedelya Church, on the Eagle Bridge near Ariana Lake, on the pylons of the National Palace of Culture and on Slaveykov Square.

The book market on ''Slaveykov'' Square will return to its place after the huge reconstruction of the whole space together with ''Graf Ignatiev'' Street.

The key question for now is when this will happen. Obviously, the return of the books will be delayed and until now the Sofia Municipality has no specific deadline.
