Oborishte is the aristocratic eastern part of Sofia's centre — the district of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, the National Library, the embassies and Doctors' Garden. Stately cooperative buildings along Oborishte and Shipka streets, Zaimov Park and the theatres make it one of the city's most desirable addresses.
Oborishte district occupies the eastern part of the centre, on the lands of ancient Serdica — around 31,000 residents on 3 sq. km, with 211 listed cultural monuments and dozens of embassies. The quarter of statehood and diplomacy.
The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, the SS. Cyril and Methodius National Library, the Art and Music academies, the Rakovski Military Academy, the Vasil Levski Monument and Doctors' Garden. The Sofia Theatre in Zaimov Park, the Musical Theatre and the historic Oborishte, Shipka and 11 August streets.
The housing stock is stately 1920s–30s cooperative buildings and post-war blocks — high ceilings, solid construction, addresses with history. Zaimov Park and Doctors' Garden bring greenery into the heart of the city, and Teatralna station on metro line 3 serves the district. Demand steadily outruns supply — Oborishte ranks among Sofia's most desirable addresses.
