On the occasion of 1 February – the anniversary of the People’s Court and the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Regime until 1989 – we invite you to take part in historical tram tours in Sofia. The tours continue our joint initiative with the Municipal Enterprise “Tourism” of the Sofia Municipality, launched as part of the “Festival 10.11”. The tours will be in Bulgarian only.

The historical tram “Memory” follows the central axis of Sofia, along which key sites connected to repression and the mechanisms of power during the period 1944–1989 are located.

The route along tram lines №12 and №18 passes by the buildings of the former Directorate of the People's Militia and State Security, the Party House and the so-called "triangle of power", the Palace of Justice, and a number of other locations marked by political processes and control.

There are also places associated with ideological censorship and control over freedom of movement, as well as with the counterculture that emerged in the 1980s - "Popa", "Sinyoto", the first informal exhibitions and cafes.

The journey presents Sofia as few people know it.

Participation in the tours is free of charge, but spots are limited.
Pre-registration is required.

The tours will take place 4 times on the following dates:

• 31 January, 11:00 and 13:00
• 1 February, 13:00 and 15:00

Starting point: Sofia, tram stop “Lion Bridge Square” (in the direction of the Central Sofia Halls)

Reserve your spot here.
