    This video does not show Bulgaria and its beauties at all, mountains, sea, architectural and historical sights (Bulgaria ranks third in the world after Italy and Greece in terms of archaeological wealth), ancient monasteries and fortresses, folklore - the richest in Europe, cuisine - one of the tastiest, etc. Instead, the author took photos in the Sofia subway and walked nearby :) And by the way, the poorest country in Europe is Moldova, followed by Belarus, Albania, Kosovo, Georgia and Armenia

      She doesn't have to highlight all the beauties of Bulgaria, especially so when Bulgarians themselves are doing literally nothing to promote their culture and are so bad at service! For sure there is far better than what she's filmed, but nonetheless what she's filmed is still real. Making it look like an utopia by filming only the good spots and having someone watching arrive at one of the most degenerate airports or central train station in Europe would be quite a shock as well!

    Although I'm sure you meant to create an informative and objective video about Bulgaria, sadly the end result is an extremely biased and even somehwat misleading report, that unfortunately only legitimizes all the well known "stereotipes" and "misunderstandings". I'd actually go even further and say with a very high degree of confidence, you've completely failed to "capture" Bulgaria's "true essence" at all.
    Once again, I beleive your intentions were good, but the end result should make any self respecting Bulgarian person unequivocally upset and embaraced.

And what I think of Bulgaria? I think that Bulgaria is mostly populated by BULGARIANS and they are educated people, so, please, stop these cheap presentations about Bulgaria , where the main characters are Roma!

When you add the refugees and illegal imigrants around TsUM all the way down Maria Luiza it turns out that pretty much 30% of the area of the center is full of non white Bulgarians/foreigners.

    You said Bulgaria is misunderstood and there are many steryotypes about it. Yet throughout your entire video you showed many times roma people, who are only around 4% of the population (that's almost nothing). For comparison, almost the same percentage is the Turkish minority in Germany. I'v never seen anyone present Germnay with the Turks, but Bulgaria is always presented with the roma. Logic? No, there isn't. 😄 Your video is like any other videos about Bulgaria, don't see difference.

    Then, when you show "contrasts", show both sides of the contrast, not just the one side!
    In the video, it's mainly gipsy, as if this is the most characteristic of Bulgaria.
    If they're not gipsy, they're drunk or talking about trash.

    And another note, we dont go to cafee or restorants to "be shown".

    Hey, i saw your video about Serbia and i saw now this for Bulgaria - for our friends in Serbia the video was perfect and i enjoyed it.
    But for our country i didn't like the way you start to talk about us - the poorest most corrupt and so on. That's maybe true, but in comparison with the EUROPEAN'S UNION COUNTRIES - overall in EUROPE, we are not even the poorest, neither most corrupted. It's a big difference when you talk about EU and EUROPE.. Actually i'm not sure anymore that in EU we are the worst country in term of quality and costs of life,but that's another story!
    I didn't like the fact that in this video you showed the ugly side of our capital, as the old panel buildings,the gypsy people, which in fact almost every balkan country has - we have a lot of amazing places and if you wanted to script it like this, the video would not look like this 100 %!
    The title of the video is exactly in the bullseye " The most misundestood country" and i will tell you why. Still can not understand why our people and media wants so bad to show off the worst things from us, when in the same time we have so beatiful things to be proud of! I say this because, if we change our mindset then others will also change their opinion for us.

      Another ignorant brainwashed Bulgarian communist. First of all, most immigrants from Bulgaria are Roma and Turks, not ethnic Bulgarians. Why do you think in Europe they consider us Roma people? Also, the main reason the nation is shrinking is not migration, but the fact that many people don't want to have children, or have only one. This is worldwide phenomena, which has nothing to do with poloitics. Also, even during the sociallism, Roma and Turks, still had more children than Bulgarians, so if you think the 9 mil are Bulgarians, you are delusional and obviously not very smart. Why in 1989 the Turks were forced to leave the country? Bacause Zhivkov said they will become more than us. But you keep living in your dream. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    This is a little bit of unorthodox presentation of Bulgaria, but unlike some of the comments below -> I do appreciate the more modern take together with the research you did about our history and past as well as mentioning details we really are proud of and are not often mentioned by other travel reviewers in RUclips to be honest! Thank you for taking the time and appreciating the beauty although sometimes hidden behind cold exterior...you managed to touch a lot of aspects of life in Sofia so good job!

      By the way -> we do not drink alcohol, because of the economic hardship...it is a cultural Balkan thing -> we were going to be drunkheads even if we were the richest in Europe lol...our bodies have more enzymes to cope with alcohol and Rakija is actually helping us stay away from the Big Pharma shenanigans, which are probably more dangerous in the long-term...cannot say the same about smoking, but that is also a very ancient Balkan cultural mark as a whole with the tabaco! 😉

    I wouldn't say the Roma in Bulgaria are discriminated against (as for example the black people are/were discriminated against in the US or South Africa). Or misrepresented. If they are, it is because of their choosing. Said simply, it is their way of life. It doesn't make them discriminated, it just makes them Roma. There are many examples, but suffice to say that even France or Germany prefer to kick them out of their countries rather than integrate them in the society. In fact, if you searched enough you could find many Roma people in Bulgaria who live better and are richer than the average Bulgarian but in spite of it, their mentality still remains one of a Roma. And there are also examples, fewer in number, of Roma who have achieved the heights of their personal development in the society - such as medical doctors for example. Overall, your video not only does not paint a true picture of the Roma, but also doesn't give a real picture of Bulgaria and the Bulgarians in general.

    To those posting here who are unhappy that she showed only certain sides of Sofia, I am an American and when I watched this I did not take it to be the whole of Bulgaria or even Sofia. I understood this video as a look at selected scenes and parts of the city. People understand that any city has difficulties and troubled sections, but we also undertstand that the same cities have great aspects. And this video overall did not give me any negative impression of Sofia. I thought this looks like a good city, and an interesting place to visit.

    As a Bulgarian, I dare say that this video presents a rather limited and subjective perspective of Bulgaria. I do not deny that this country has a lot of problems and is quite misunderstood by the other EU nations, but you are not really making an honest effort to equally show both its bright and its dark sides. As I see it, you are only contributing to the misunderstanding. You are failing to capture the true Bulgarian spirit and 1300 plus years of Bulgarian history in this 25 minute video. So, thanks for the attempt, I guess...

La vérité c'est que après 1990 (la "démocratie") rien n'est construit, rien n'est entretenu, tout est détruit... Tout est fait également par la caste local de dirigeants euro-atlantistes pour détruire l'entreprenariat et toute initiative dans les diverses domaines... Et vous voyez le triste résultat...

Next time show the Bulgarian mountains, the see, the mineral spa...which you do NOT find in expensive Switzerland. If you guys think you are more humans then us, bulgarina.s..then you have a deep problem with your Ego. Have been in Paris, Rom, Oslo, Stockholm, on the areas where poor people leave ON THE STREET, under the bridges, full of homeless narcomans . Et least our poor people have a roof !

    Good video and I say that as a Bulgarian! :) I understand the frustration of some of the commenters, to an extent they have a point that this is far from the "standard" tourist experience as you visited and showed the more underdeveloped and unpleasant places that tourists won't usually see.
    In other words, a person could stay 2 days in Sofia exploring the city center or a week if you also go in the mountain and the other great cities like Plovdiv. That would also be my recommendation for travelers who visit the country.
    However, most of the content of the video is still truthful and I didn't find any of it to be misleading or offensive at all. In fact people here complain about the same issues - pollution, low living standard, scarcity of career opportunities outside of Sofia, etc. But it hits a bit differently when presented as a commentary by somebody else.
