Georgi Rakovski Street

Georgi Rakovski Street (Bulgarian: Улица Георги Раковски, Ulitsa Georgi Rakovski), usually referred to by its old name of Rakovska, is a major street in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Located in the center of the city between Slivnitsa Boulevard and Evlogi Georgiev Boulevard, it is named after the Bulgarian revolutionary Georgi Sava Rakovski.

The street passes along some of Sofia's major landmarks, including the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the Central Military Club. A large number of theatre venues are located between Slaveykov Square and Knyaz Aleksandar Dondukov Boulevard, hence the street's nickname of "Theatre Street" or "The Bulgarian Broadway":

There are several government ministries along the street or very close to it, such as the Ministry of Economics and the Ministry of Finance.
