Ivan Shishman Street in downtown Sofia was turned pedestrian for Sunday in a bid to reduce air pollution from traffic and favor commuting by foot.

Sofia Municipality has decided that this Sunday, as well as the following two Sundays, Shishman Street will be closed for vehicles under a project called “Sofia Breathes.”

The street will be hosting art workshops, sport events, games and various performances to entertain Sofia residents and visitors.

Ivan Shishman Street, connecting the Narodno Sabranie Square in front of the Bulgarian Parliament with Graf Ignatiev street, a shopping venue for Sofia dwellers, is a favorite place among walkers in the city with its many shops and bars.
