I travel by taxies every day. In Sofia. How come that you come here for the first time and you are immediately offered drugs, and no one has ever offered me anything. Another remark: "Russian style of writing" - no such thing. The Cyrilic alphabet was developed in Bulgaria, suited to our language by yhe students if Cyril and Methodius. From Bulgaria it was taken to Russia when they turned to Christianity 100 years after Bulgaria.

Thank you. It would be nice if you show the name of each place for people like me who is not familiar with the city’s name so I can quickly google more. it just took me a little while to get the right spelling. Or you can just write the name in your description below the vdo.
Just a few points to add here as the information in the video was not quite correct. - The Shengen area (due to Austria's government Bulgaria was accepted only by air and sea) this is most likely to change starting 2025 as the veto has been lifted - In the cities and tourist villages you will not have a problem with speaking only English - The population of Sofia is officially 1.3m, unofficially about 1.6m - You can fly in Burgas as well, also Sunny Beach is closer to Burgas rather than Varna - The Bulgarian Lev is tied to the Euro with a fixed exchange rate of 1.95 leva to 1 euro, making it quite easy to calculate how much things cost. To add a few items: - For taxies in Sofia download an app and use to get to where you want, you can also pay trough the app as well - Outside of Sofia and the bigger cities always have cash on you as they might not have a way for you to pay with card - Within Sofia use the public transport, the metro and busses are integrated with Google Maps and you can pay with card directly on the bus as well - Do not miss out on Plovdiv it has so much to offer
Thanks for the presentation. In September, I will take a 2-week tour of Bulgaria, for the second time. It;'s a mountainous country with many nice places, so the traject will not overlap the first one, with the exception of Sofia. This time we will not get into Sofia, but do some sightseeing on Mt. Vitosha.
Thanks for the insights about Bulgaria! Headed to Sofia after Istanbul. Really want to experience the Balkans. Based on your recommendation, I'll try to get some "chalga" into my life...
The absence of Schengen on land is not due to a lack of confidence in the EU. On the contrary, the EU has confidence in BG's borders, but one country (Austria) is still opposed.
People, I live in Bulagria, I've been born here and never even thought of leaving. You don't understand how hard is for the bulgarians to work and have a normal life. Yes this country will support you not me, because they want your money. Everything has been done so you can come and I leave. I don't have the money and the home to live on my own land. Yes enjoy your trip, eat banica and look for the yogurt while 2 million people + are were forced to leave. Yes, the goverment takes from us to give to you. Enjoy!
Thank you for your presentation. I was in Varna two weeks ago. The food is indeed varied and good and considerably cheaper than ours. Bulgaria is a beautiful country. By the way, I had a delicious meal in a restaurant in the port of Varna. The food was great and so was the service. I didn't go there well prepared and I should have had a better look at your presentation first. I ended up here because my girlfriend is from Bulgaria. What's sad is the way people looked at me. I didn't feel welcome there. When I went to get a drink at the Golden Sands Beach bar, I was asked where I came from. I said I'm from the Netherlands. The answer I got: "What the fuck are you doing here? Go to France, Greece or Italy!" I thought: "That is also clear and a good advertisement for your own country!"
People are just honest and they think that Greece is place to go for vacation. That's all. Bulgarians don't appreciate bulgaria. I'd rather have that than get pushed to visit a place that sucks
@@StamfordBridge the saints Cyril and Methodius invented the Glagolic alphabet in Great Moravia, and after that their disciples were chased off from that country, and ended up in Bulgaria.. They were the ones who invented the Cyrillic alphabet in Bulgaria, in the late 9th century, and it was invented particularly to fit the needs of spoken Bulgarian, at the time, in order to fend off Greek (Byzantine) influence. The alphabet was named after St. Cyril in his honor but the real inventors were students of Cyril and Methodius, and like I wrote, this happened in Bulgaria. Therefore we consider it Bulgarian alphabet that was later spread to other Slavic peoples like Serbs, Russians, etc.
@StamfordBridge Bro Cyrilic alphabet is no saint Cyril and Metodius Alphabet created Glagolic. but for teachers. Cyrilic alphabet is created in Bulgarian Empire schools in capital Great Preslav
Rila Monastery was built in mid 900s and is based on Byzantine architectural style, which predates Ottoman occupation. Prior to Byzantine empire Bulgaria was part of Thrace.
📣 WOOOW! Very good video! Thanks for this! 👋🏼 I am a Small Struggling Travel Channel and this video really inspire me to up my self and make better content ☺️

With all respect some of your information it’s either not correct or semi correct. I think you just need a Bulgarian to explain you the little differences in an examples you are giving and the video will be perfect. Much love ❤️
I didn't understand why in the beginning the Bulgarian flag was shown against the background of some Arabic music played on some unknown stringed instrument?!?!?

You're not a tourist. Sometimes people (in every country) try to sell odd things to tourists.

Hahaha the taxi driver trying to push some snow in front of your mom cracked me up
I watched 4 diff vids on Bulgaria today, & this was by far the best one. I like seeing the real aspects of a city & you nailed it. Thank you!!!

4:03 that’s not Bulgaria! It’s the museum “Reina Sofia” in Madrid, where Guernica from Pablo Picasso is located!

Very impressed with your summary and knowledge and even your pronunciation. Bulgarian is not an easy language..and I'm bulgarian😂
As a Bulgarian i advice you to go to Plovdiv,its so beautiful on every season but every city in Bulgaria are wonderful❤

Bruv,we invented the cyrylic
Cyril and Methodius invented it in Moravia. Bulgaria was its second destination.

I am traveling to Bulgaria in two weeks from US. Do I need a tourist visa to enter Bulgaria? Please let me know.
I am no expert but I think you don't need one. I'm just a tourist who has been looking into it. It's an EU country after all.
this was a really nice and informative video! good job you presented it adequately ❤
A lot of your facts are way off.
Very insightful, wonderful and outstanding. You're just doing fine. I will appreciate more videos. Thanks so much
Nice video! You forgot to mention the rose festival in Kazanlak.
Rila Monastery was built in mid 900s and is based on Byzantine architectural style, which predates Ottoman occupation. Prior to Byzantine empire Bulgaria was part of Thrace.
Thanks for that great video! Do you know which cities have the best hospitals in Bulgaria? Can you recommend hospitals?
Sofia and Plovdiv
Very insightful, thank you so much!
A 2025 update: Bulgaria has become a full member of the Schengen zone.
