Sofia's largest square, in front of the former Royal Palace. Once host to Communist parades and the Georgi Dimitrov Mausoleum, today it is a wide pedestrian space used for concerts, ice rinks in winter, and political rallies. The empty patch of grass where the mausoleum stood is preserved without a marker.
Walk from here south down Tsar Osvoboditel Boulevard, the city's grand axis lined with embassies, the Russian Church, and the Military Club, all the way to Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. It is the easiest five-minute stroll in Sofia.
