Residents and visitors alike are drawn to its rich cultural and historical heritage, which is reflected in the stunning architecture. While the vibrant atmosphere is part of the area's charm, it's worth noting that the energetic pulse of Ivan Vazov means it can become noisy and really busy - a small price to pay for being at the centre of it all.
