Antiques Market

Near the Alexander Nevski Cathedral in Sofia is situated an informal flea market, aimed directly to the tourists visiting the cathedral. There can be found lots of antique goods as old cameras, coins and medals, hand knitted socks, Russian lacquered dolls, jewelry boxes and more. The prices vary and depend on opinion of the trader about the buyer - so haggling is possible and in many cases - essential.

Not far away from the Antiques Market tourists can visit other small market-place where older ladies behind linen stalls offer hand crafted tablecloths, mats, hand knitted cotton, silk jumpers and cardigans.
