NDK footbridge

NDK footbridge, Concrete footbridge near National Palace of Culture, Sofia, Bulgaria.

The NDK footbridge is a reinforced-concrete pedestrian overpass on a continuous beam, crossing Bulgaria Boulevard at its junction with Fridtjof Nansen and Cherni Vrah boulevards. It links the National Palace of Culture with the Hilton Sofia hotel, the Earth and Man museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art at the edge of South Park.

The footbridge is an informal pedestrian overpass near the National Palace of Culture, crossing Bulgaria Boulevard at its junction with Fridtjof Nansen and Cherni Vrah boulevards. It is a reinforced concrete structure supported by a continuous beam. Its nickname, Bridge of Lovers, likely arose because young couples used it as a meeting place. In 2007 it hosted the photo exhibition "Earth from Above" by French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand.

The footbridge has gained a local reputation as a gathering spot for couples walking through central Sofia. People naturally pause here to take in views of the boulevard and the surrounding area.

The footbridge is easy to locate as it sits directly next to the metro station and connects with several tram and trolleybus lines. The surface can become slippery during rain, so appropriate footwear is advisable when crossing.

The bridge's Bulgarian nickname, "Most na vliyubenite" (Bridge of Lovers), is unofficial; it is also called NDK Bridge or the bridge behind NDK. In 2007 the walkway hosted "The Earth from Above", a photo exhibition by French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand. Beneath it, a large arch marks the entrance to a McDonald's built over the covered Perlovska River.
