Sofia aka: София

Actually I live here for 3 years now…and I’m quiite used to this city I can say.. As the biggest city in Bulgaria it provides a lot of opportunities- for fun, for business or just to spend a few hours. But the citizens of the city are too many for its infrasructure, it’s overcrowded and very very dirty. The life here is much more stressful than any other bulgarian city. But anyway- “it grows but never gets old” :)

I only spent four days there, but had a great time. The architecture is great and the outdoor cafes are wonderful.

Apealed my attention.

It was a long time ago, I don’t remember alot

Bulgaria’s nature is pure and beautiful. Come and and see it.

hey, i am living in this town and although it’s not thtat glamorous as some others it is still a beauuuuutifyl city. i am an architecture student and from that point of view i can asure you – Sofia definately worths visiting!

It’s cold and smoky place. Maybe it’s good for visiting, but not for living

juxtaposition—neoclassical late 1800’s mixes with smart shops, suv’s, mafia and old churches. the choir at alexander nevsky cathedral is heavenly. street corner pizza with corn, ketchup and mayonaise, espresso in little plastic cups, rakia. begging gypsies, packs of roaming dogs, a faded opera house, inexpensive classical music recitals, chalga clubs, ndk, vitosha—the street, the mountain. a bottle of mavrud, women’s market, doctor’s garden, boris garden, the icon museum in the basement of the cathedral.

Mostly I was able to walk around the city center for a couple of hours, during the day and then at night. I didn’t have time to visit the museums, but there were several that I wish I could have gone to. I was surprised to see several Roman ruins!
