My problems with Sofia when I visited in 2022: - stray dogs, and worse than that, owned dogs not on a leash (I was nearly attacked by an owned dog) - random holes in the pavement, esp. in certain areas. The many broken tiles in Sofia makes the place look like there has been a huge earthquake. On the other hand, in Tokyo, Japan it's hard to find any broken tiles, even though they have more earthquakes. Perhaps using tiles was a bad idea to begin with? I see the same here in Plovdiv.

I feel safer overall in Sofia, esp. in the nicest areas.

Wrong, it had started in 1944 already and was more or less finalized by 1987. They just opened a new phase with the "Multigroup" government that came in late 1992.

That`s a treasure for sure! Thank you for publishing this on RUclips! Greetings from Sofia!
Soon I'll post a few more that I found on my old recordings :) Stay tuned!
I love watching videos from the 90s of Sofia, thanks for posting. It is definitely interesting to see how the city is growing.
Thanks 4 watching :)
Fewer cars, not so fancy cars, more pedestrians. everything else seems so much cleaner and better maintained
I agree with you
@@cajamusical_ Thank you for the videos. Nice reminders of old Sofia!

What happened?

Когато София още имаше шанс да попадне на добри стопани и да стане нещо различно от ориенталски провинциален град.
Хубава разходка. След нея - задължително в сауната на басейна на БСФС :)
At 13:36 we can see the wonderful mausoleum. This one should have remained..
