Introducing spots in Sofia!

🇧🇬Sofia Walking through layers of history in the peaceful capital of the Balkans From Roman times to the Ottoman Empire and the present day. The entire city of Sofia felt like a museum of time. It wasn't flashy, but it had a simple, friendly, and laid-back atmosphere. Just walking around, I encountered many moments where history and everyday life intermingled. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral ⛪ A symbol of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. Its golden domes shone brilliantly on sunny days, Inside, the walls and ceilings were covered in icon paintings. Standing quietly, I felt a chill in the air. Serdica Ruins and Metro Station 🚇 Roman ruins remain intact inside the subway station. It's a rare experience to witness 2,000 years of history during your commute. The luxury of being able to travel and explore ruins at the same time. National Palace of Culture 🏢 A gigantic modern building. Inside is a venue for events and exhibitions. In the square outside, children play, students gather, and elderly people sunbathe on benches. More than a tourist destination, it's a place where local life itself is at its peak. Central Market Hall 🛒 The exterior is Ottoman-style. Inside, it's packed with ingredients, prepared foods, and miscellaneous goods. Prices are on par with supermarkets, so it doesn't feel like a tourist destination at all. It was nice to see locals shopping here as if they were just regular shoppers. What I ate 🍽 Banitsa: A cheese pie. The salty, crispy texture makes it perfect for breakfast. Taratori: A cold soup made with yogurt and cucumber. A refreshing summer treat. Mishmash: A stir-fry of tomatoes, peppers, eggs, and cheese. A home-cooked treat. Shkembe Chorba: Tripe soup. The garlic and vinegar make this addictive. Bulgarian yogurt: The perfect balance of sourness and richness. The real thing is different. Travel Tips ✈️ - You can get around the city almost entirely on foot. - The ruins are both indoors and outdoors, so it's a good idea to change your route depending on the weather. - Photography is often prohibited during mass in cathedrals and churches.
