Vrana Palace (Park-Museum Vrana)

Vrana Palace, also known as Park-Museum Vrana, was built on land acquired by Tsar Ferdinand I in the late 19th century and served as the preferred residence of the Bulgarian royal family until their exile in 1946. Nestled in a 247-acre (100-hectare) estate, the grounds once housed a working farm and a zoo. Today, visitors can explore the tranquil gardens and the historic palace, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling urban center of Sofia. The estate’s expansive green spaces and well-preserved architecture provide a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of Bulgaria’s past monarchs.
