The Alexander Nevski Cathedral is probably the most important building of the city. It was build to honor approximately 200.000 Russian soldiers who died during the Russian-Turkish war. It is one of the largest Eastern Orthodox cathedrals in the world, as well as one of Sofia's symbols and primary Sofia tourist attractions.

The largest and busiest market in Sofia, Zhenski Pazar (Woman’s market) offers a wide range of fruit and vegetables, cheese, cured meats, dried fruit and nuts, homemade halva and also non-food products. The stall holders at the Women’s Market were once all women but now male and female civillians from the surrounding hills go to town each morning to sell their products. The atmosphere is chaotic and a bit dirty but fun.
