This small museum in the heart of Sofia is an absolute gem! It brilliantly encapsulates the everyday life of communist Bulgaria, offering a fascinating journey through history. The exhibits are curated thoughtfully, providing an insightful glimpse into a significant era, making it a captivating and educational experience for visitors interested in understanding Bulgaria's past.

Engaging, hands-on experience of socialist Bulgaria. The only problem we encountered was "the guide", who sat in the living room and drank coffee and could not be bothered even to tell us that the stories in the audio program are linked to the numbered locations around the apartment. Best to book in advance from the website. The afternoon previous we showed up without a booking and were told we'd have to wait at least 45 minutes.

Well worth a visit. A unique chance to step back in time with no barriers. Not only can you explore the flat, with the really interesting audio guide, but you can open cupboards, flick through books and sit in the chairs. We learnt a lot about what it would be like to live in Communist era Bulgaria. A great companion to the 365 Communsit Tour too.

This is an experience about living in the socialist period. It lasts 1 hour with an audioguide included in your ticket. It really enhances your vision of what it could have been and I would recommend it to everyone even people that are not that much into museum but still want to learn about it.

A chance to see inside a real flat from the communist period and hear the stories about the people that lived there. You get an audio guide and can look around and stay as long as you want. A great complement to the 365 communist walking tour which is also very good. Highly recommended!

This was a real surprise when we did a self guided walking tour of Sofia. It is a little hard to find as tickets are sold in a nearby shop that is not well signed unless you look hard. You are then directed to the flat. The flat is a time capsule of 1980s furniture and ephemera , which would normally mean a short visit , however the audio short stories were fascinating. They have a good glimpse into what it would have bee like in those times.

I would certainly consider this one of the top 5 attractions in Sofia. Clever organization of the flat, packed with memorabilia that makes you travel back in time while you listen to the story of the lives of its prior residents. No need for digital images, everything is right there. If the gift shop where the tickets are sold is closed just go straight to the flat. They will be more than happy to welcome you there. Excellent experience for the young generations!!!!

My family and I visited the Red Flat on a hot Sunday afternoon. The audio tour guides you around the home of a family from communist Bulgaria. We found it highly educational and nostalgic (having grown up in the United Kingdom at a similar time). There are so many similarities and differences. We found the experience WONDERFUL! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Really interesting and enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours in Sofia. Kids (11 and 13) enjoyed it, especially playing with the old typewriter and record player. Great that it’s so interactive.

The roughly 90-minute audio guide for this experience could not be better! Visitors should be aware that the experience will take around 90 minutes (even if their booking is only for a specific hour). My only complaint is that the flat ended up feeling quite crowded. But, if that’s a product of taking part in a popular and affordable experience - so be it. Even with the crowd, we had plenty of time to explore the flat at our leisure and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
