Returning to Sofia After 21 Years

I was born in Bulgaria, but I never really lived there. Growing up, I visited during the summer to spend time with my grandparents. Now, I'm exploring Sofia again, rediscovering a place connected to my childhood and discovering more about the country's fascinating history and culture.

Join me for a relaxed walk through the streets of Sofia, Bulgaria, as I explore historic landmarks, hidden details, and everyday life in this fascinating European capital.

🇧🇬 In this video, we explore:

- The charming streets and neighbourhoods of Sofia
- Zaimov Park and its unusual communist-era sculptures
- Doctor's Garden
- The historic Alexander Nevsky Cathedral
- National Library "St. Cyril and St. Methodius"
- Sofia's monuments, ancient Roman ruins, and architectural contrasts
- The famous yellow cobblestone streets
- Sofia's public mineral water springs, where locals still fill their bottles
- Unexpected encounters and moments of everyday Bulgarian life

From reminders of Bulgaria's socialist past to centuries of history and traditions that continue today, Sofia has plenty of stories to tell. This journey also made me reflect on my own connection to Bulgaria and how much there is still to learn about the country where I was born.

If you're interested in underrated European destinations, authentic travel experiences, history, and exploring places beyond the usual tourist hotspots, come along for the journey.
