Christmas mood is also coming to Sofia (photos)

The capital of Bulgaria welcomes its residents and guests with a large Christmas market, located in the space of the city's emblematic National Palace of Culture.

There is no shortage of visitors during the day, while in the evening the Christmas town is even more charming. In the area called "Art Bazaar" magnificent handmade gifts are offered. They are made with a lot of imagination and bear the creative handwriting of the sellers behind the stall.

At the market one can also find all kinds of delicacies and drinks characteristic of Christmas. Here, young and old can have fun on the Ferris wheel or the colourful carousel or try their luck at the shooting range. An ice rink attracts winter skaters.

The Christmas market in front of the National Palace of Culture in Sofia opened on November 21 and continues until December 28.
