Sofia is very compact – easy to walk along the main axis starting at central railway station and going up – through the Marie Louise and Vitosha Boulevards… In the middle you can turn left to Alexander Levski and University.
It is also bit strange: they built nice metro, but you cannot buy tickets paying by credit card. The huge Alexander Nevsky orthodox church was built to honor 200000 Rusians felt in the Russian-Turkish war. They liberated Bulgaria… Entry is free, interior is a bit disappointing: dark and not as rich as Russian orthodox churches are. To feel more authentic atmosphere go to Sveta Nedela cathedral, where Bulgarians are coming to light the candles and to pray…
Wine is good and cheaper thanin Romania: 1,5 l of cabernet will cost like 2 euro. It is also worth to try Kiselo mlyako – thick Bulgarian yoghurt – 0,5 l pack costs quarter of euro…
I am enjoying nice weather, walking the parks, taking pictures of the fountains and the monuments. Tomorrow itwillbe the tim to say goodbye o Sofia…
