Hadzhi Dimitar

Hadzhi Dimitar is a residential area in the Poduyane district and one of Sofia's oldest neighborhoods. It is close to the city center - a few minutes from Knyaz Aleksandar Dondukov Blvd., Vasil Levski Blvd. and Stochna Gara Square. It is named after the revolutionary Hadzhi Dimitar, whose monument stands in the middle of the neighborhood.

During the socialist era the old houses were replaced with apartment blocks. Today the neighborhood is a mix of low brick houses, panel blocks from the 1960s, 70s and 80s, and new construction since 1990. The main street is Makgahan St., and other important streets are Vladimir Vazov Blvd. and Vasil Kanchev St.

Metro line M3 runs through the neighborhood, with Hadzhi Dimitar station connecting it directly to the center. Since August 2026 the line has also continued northeast toward the Levski neighborhoods.

There are three schools - the 42nd Primary School "Hadzhi Dimitar", the 24th Secondary School "Peyo Kracholov Yavorov" and the 95th Secondary School "Prof. Ivan Shishmanov" - and many kindergartens, most of them renovated or newly built since 2008. Zaimov Park is nearby.
