- The National Gallery for Foreign Art - The design of this building, in the Neoclassical style, by the Viennese architect Friedrich Schwanberg, was realised between 1881 and 1883.
- Bulgarian National Library (St. Cyril and St. Methodius National Library) - With its 8.5 million documents, the National Library “St. St. Cyril and Methodius” is the largest book treasury in Bulgaria. Visitors will see temporary exhibitions inside. The collection of old, rare and valuable books includes a total of about 17,000 volumes of books and periodicals printed in the period from the 15th to the 21st centuries. The materials are organised in separate collections.
- National Assembly of the Republic of Bulgaria - The building in which the National Assembly sits is of historic significance and is a monument of culture. It was built in 1884-1886 to the design of architect Constantin Yovanovic.
- Sofia University Saint Kliment Ohridski - Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” and the “St. St. Cyril and Methodius” National Library are near the Eagles’ Bridge. The university was founded on 1 October 1888. From Monday to Friday, visitors can also see the amazing central hall with its large stained glass windows.
- Ancient Serdica Archaeological Complex - The ancient cultural and communication complex “Serdica” combines areas with various purposes, divided into two zones. The “Largo” zone, situated underneath Nezavisimost Square, integrates the unearthed archaeological remains into a site for cultural events. The remains of one of the two main streets of the Roman town, the decumanus maximus, which connects the eastern and the western gates of the city, can be seen here. A large residential building, covering an entire insula (urban block), can be seen south of it. The building also had small shops, from which travellers and the town’s inhabitants could purchase food and various goods.
- Sofia Synagogue - The building of the Central Sofia Synagogue is rightly described as the pride of the Bulgarian Jewish community. It is one of the three largest Sephardic (Spanish-Jewish) synagogues in Europe and the largest on the Balkan Peninsula.
- Central Mineral Baths – Banski Sq 1 - Visitors will go to see the natural hot springs of the city, at 46 degrees Celsius. The current Central Mineral Baths building was designed in the Vienna Secession style, but integrating typically Bulgarian, Byzantine and Eastern Orthodox ornamental elements, by the architects Petko Momchilov and Friedrich Grünanger in 1904-1905, and approved on 30 January 1906, as projects by an Austrian (in 1889).
- Banya Bashi Mosque - It was built on the initiative and with the financial support of Mullah Effendi Kada Seyfullah, and is also known as Mollah Effendi Mosque. It was designed by the famous Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan, who also built the mosque of Sultan Selim in Edirne and the Suleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul. Because of the number 974 above the entrance arch, the mosque is considered to have been built in 974 in the Hijri (Islamic calendar), or in 1566-1567 AD.
