A
Ladies’ Market
The ‘Zhenski Pazar’ stretches several blocks along a street between ul Ekzarh Yosif and bul Slivnitsa. It’s Sofia’s biggest fresh-produce market, with all kinds of fruit and vegetables on sale. Other stalls sell clothes, shoes, car parts, kitchen utensils and pretty much anything else you can think of. You can buy traditional Troyanska kapka pottery much more cheaply here than in souvenir shops. It’s great fun to wander around, but it does get very crowded, so watch your belongings.

pl Aleksander Nevski
Artists sell paintings, mainly of traditional rural scenes, near the Mineral Baths and around pl Aleksander Nevski, where you'll also find stalls selling reproduction religious icons, jewellery, souvenirs and embroidery. But be wary of the ancient coins, Soviet and Nazi paraphernalia and other 'antiques': there are some genuine items here, but most of it's fake, and prices are very much aimed at tourists.
