About this event
On the first Wednesday of every month, Bulgaria's ceremonial guard change takes place in front of the Presidency building in central Sofia, marking national holidays with a formal military procession. Free to watch from the street and over quickly, it's a short detour for anyone already exploring the nearby Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and Largo, and a reliable, no-planning-required pocket of Sofia tradition.
Why we picked it
A short, free, always-on ceremonial spectacle right in the historic centre - easy to combine with sightseeing.
