NEA Sofia

The flower kingdom

Tsvetomira from Sofia

""NEA" Sofia doesn't looks like an ordinary store, but rather a gallery for flowers. My personal favorite is the terrarium with cacti and succulents..."

NEA is one of the places which became popular among locals really fast. One thing I really appreciate is that it doesn't look like an ordinary shop, but like a gallery for flowers.

Usually when I am in the area I cannot miss a visit to NEA, even if it is only to say "Hello" to the charming Zheni - florist and the owner of the place.

Flowers are placed at eye level in clear glass vases so you can see them in their all glory. They contrast with the grey decor perfectly. Splendid flower arrangements are everywhere around the shop.

There you will also find good examples of kokedama - a Japanese variant of bonsai, a ball of soil, covered with moss, on which an ornamental plant grows. It has become an internet craze lately.

My personal favourite are the terrariums in glass bowls with cacti and succulents, which look like little green masterpieces. Be sure to check them!

NEA can be found on Instagram as well - I recommend to follow them for your daily flower art inspiration.

Swimming Pool

Art space with a view in Sofia

"Swimming Pool" in Sofia is one of the art galleries I really enjoy visiting - people often go there more for the view and vibe than the art itself!

"Mekitsa & Kafe" is a cozy little place in Sofia for a fast snack of Mekitsa, a type of traditional Bulgarian pastry. My favourite is honey and walnuts!
