Other notable landmarks include the National Palace of Culture, a large convention center, and Vitosha Boulevard, Sofia’s main shopping and dining street, seen from a distance. Since these are drive-by highlights, no stops are made at these sites, but the driver shares interesting facts and practical tips about each location, enriching the journey.
