Sofia graffiti - color explosion in the grey urban landscape

 In the subway or on the facade of a tall building, colorful graffiti catch our eye in Sofia during the winter. So, if you have planned a city walk during the Christmas holidays, do not rush huddled in your warm scarf, but look around - the urban landscape has many nice surprises for you.


The works of the graffiti artists stand out perfectly against the background of bare trees, gray streets and fewer people.


The central city streets such as "Tsar Shiman" and "Rakovski", for example, are dotted with picturesque electrical switchboards.


Art also comes to the aid in the design of the facades, in unison with the commercial sites located behind them.


The large façades of some buildings are a white canvas on which captivating images come to life.


You will rarely find the signatures of talented graffiti artists who created the massive images that catch our eyes when strolling through the streets of Sofia.
