About me Hello! I am a digital marketing specialist, blogger, craft consultant, amateur photographer, and former archaeologist. I have lived in Sofia my entire life and have witnessed significant changes in the city's culture, society, and landscape.

Punto Art Bazaar Sofia

Steampunk & art place

""Punto Art Bazaar" is a 2-floored gallery in Sofia where you can find handmade, steampunk-style design and art pieces. It's full of fantastic gift ideas..."

For those who aren't familiar with steampunk - this is a Victorian science fiction genre inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery. Steampunk works combine mechanical and vintage elements and they usually look very appealing.

Punto Art Bazaar is a 2-floored gallery where you can find good examples of steampunk handmade products and other contemporary designs.

The first floor is mainly for jewellery, ceramics, accessories, notebooks and postcards. Most of the jewellery is silver, high quality and some of the models are pure masterpieces. Look around, the most gorgeous handcrafted steampunk objects are usually located on the top shelves or hanging from the ceiling.

The second floor is a small gallery for drawings and paintings.

For myself or for special occasions when you need a gift, there are two products that I usually buy from Punto Art Bazaar. The first is Pagane Uniques Jewellery: resin bracelets, earrings and rings with flowers, feathers and other cool objects.

The second thing is the collection of cute roller organs music boxes with popular, rock or movie songs. Seriously, this could be a fantastic gift for someone.

Advice: if you are going to Punto Art Bazaar, check Made in Blue (check the Made in Blue article) for a super delicious meal in a retro atmosphere afterwards.
