People collect the mineral water in big bottles and yes you refrigerate it. It isn't "spring" water, that is why it is hot, it is Mineral water, and it actually cools down alot from its starting location, which is probably around 90 C water. You can find alot of these mineral water taps all around Sofia and lots of places in Bulgaria actually, we have alot of mineral water springs. The high mineral count make the water feel heavy, and that is why you might attribute it to sticky. Even though our cheese burgers are good... you should really try visiting an authentic Bulgarian traditional style restaurant - they are called "Mehana" -You can find a restuarant called "Moma" or "Izbata" for example.
Thanks so much for letting us know! Now we wish we would have filled our water bottles and brought it home :) We have a few videos from Plovdiv coming out next week where we try authentic Bulgarian food!! Stay tuned for those :)
...welcome to my adopted city I moved here in 2004 from Oxford in the UK, my girlfriend works for the President the building with the guards outside, you pronounced Serdika wrong it is Ser di ka :) check out the best traditional festival next month in the village of Jeravna it's amazing I have a house there which is 200 years old
LOVE IT! Thanks for dropping some knowledge on us :) Unfortunately we're in Romania now but we'll have to come back sometime and check out the traditional festival because that sounds amazing.
I really love the energy and enthusiasm of you two! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video with us. I am headed to Bulgaria in a few days. And now I know just what to expect. Love from Iceland ❤️. You just earned a new sub.
It's great to see such a fresh look at the city that you live in! Thanks for being openminded and positive you've made go outside with a cup of coffee and re-explore my city! When you're in Sofia next time, just drop me a message and I can show you some really beautiful places! Thanks again! Stay safe! Cheers!
Happy to hear so nice words about my city!!! Btw the lions on the Lions bridge symbolise four book store owners who were sentenced to death for supporting the revolutionary movement during the Ottoman rule.
Welcome to Sofia :) have fun exploring the city...a trip to the mountain might be a good idea. And as far as other places in Bulgaria - definitely go checkout Plovdiv. It's the cultural capital of Europe for 2019, has even more ruins :) charming old town and is only 2 hours away by bus. Tickets I think are 15 lev, and the bus station is near lion's bridge.
We have and other good places in Bulgaria also you can visit much monuments, mountains, rivers, Black Sea and other things! Goo and visit Veliko Turnovo, Plovdiv, Burgas, Varna, Velingrad, Hisarya and other good towns! ❤🇧🇬
Thank you so much for these awesome recommendations! We went to Plovdiv for a week and absolutely loved it. Here's the link to the video if you want to check it out:) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TXFVSXJOTwY.html&
Hello, welcome to Sofia! I would be glad to visit Koprivshtitsa and Velingrad, these cities are among the best in Bulgaria. Also in Bulgaria are some of the best and most beautiful summer resorts such as Sozopol, Nessebar and Primorsko.Hope I helped you and you are one of the coolest explorers.
Thanks so much for watching and for the great recommendations! Bulgaria is such a beautiful country. We also visited Plovdiv, and we have a few videos from there that are going up next week :)
Аз като кореняк софиянец, който е бил в доста градове и столици, София е най скапания град, по скапан и от Тирана-Албания. Като ми дойдат гости от чужбина след А. Невски и Витошка показното се изчерпва, останалата част на България спасява положението.
Ми разходи се до боянската черква, и до драгалевския манастир, витоша и т.н. и въобще не е лошо да отвориш някой каталог да видиш какво има друго в София, това че ти си духовно и културно беден не е причина да охарактеризараш и града така. Не е идеален, но не е и каквото го описваш.
Bogdan Haralampiev говоря за скапаната София, не ме препращай на километри извън града, за да се уграмотя духовно по твой критерии и капацитет.колкото до тези туристи нека си се кефат.
@@r.j.m4245 Извинявай, ама когато търсиш само кусурите, естествено се настройваш негативно към живота. А и наистина няма да е зле да се поУграмотиш...🤔
If you come back to Bulgaria you should definitely go to Koprivshtitsa. The architecture there is sooo beautiful. Also Sandanski is a really nice and pretty place. It's small but like half of it is a park and it's just so beautiful and nice. And if you're going somewhere around the sea, I recommend Krapets, Shabla, Tyulenovo and Balchik. It's also very beautiful and even tho you can't see anything so special in Krapets and Shabla, the weather during the summer is amazing and the sea is the clearest there. Also you can always see the moon and the stars best there
We would love to come back! We didn't see much outside of Sofia and Plovdiv so we'll definitely return one day. Thank you for all the amazing suggestions :)
Sofia is a dekightful city! Opera lovers should visit the Boris Christoff Museum, just a 3 minute walk from Vitoshe Blvd. Christoff was one of the greatest singers of the 2oth century, and his home reflects how the upper middle class lived in the 19th century. The guide was wonderful and gave us a comprehensive tour.
The water tastes and smells bad cause you are supposed to fill up your water bottle, then wait the water temperature to drop to normal. Then it doesn't taste bad.
Bulgaria is oldest country in Europe. Bulgaria is first national state in Europe which adopt Christianity and Bulgarian church became first national independent church in Europe in year 927. Bulgarians created Bulgarian Civilization with Bulgarian language, Bulgarian alphabet Cyrillic and Orthodox Christianity. Bulgarians spread Christianity and the Bible, translated into Bulgarian language and written in Cyrillic, among the so-called "Slavs" and incorporated most of the "Slavs" into Bulgarian civilization, including the Russians. All so-called "Slavic" languages are created on the basis of Bulgarian language. Russian language and so-called "Slavic" languages on the Balkans are dialects of Bulgarian language. Today about 300 million people in Eurasia including Russia use Bulgarian writing system Cyrillic as the official alphabet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Bulgarian_Empire en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simeon_I_of_Bulgaria en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_script en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Bulgarian_Empire
Hi guys! I really liked this video, I want to visit Sofia when it's safe to do so, but I would like to know if its safe to airbnb in the countries u have visited? Cheers from Chile
Sofia was founded 7000 years ago and is the oldest capital in Europe. Rome was created in 753 BC, and Sofia - 5000 years BC or 7000 years ago. Sofia is the seventh capital of Bulgaria. The first Bulgarian capital - the capital of Old Great Bulgaria - the city of Fanagoria in Russia, the second capital - Pliska, the third capital - Preslav, the fourth capital Skopje - the capital of modern Macedonia, the fifth capital - the city of Ohrid in modern Macedonia, the sixth capital of Veliko Tarnovo and the seventh capital of Bulgaria - Sofia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sofia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Great_Bulgaria en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phanagoria en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pliska en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veliki_Preslav en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skopje en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohrid en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veliko_Tarnovo
Hi! So I'm travelling to Sofia today from France and I'm a huge burger fan too. I'm definitely gonna try that burger you mentioned at the end. Though you said the place was called "Boom burger" or so but there are three restaurants in Sofia that have this name from what I found on the internet... which one is it? :/ anyway thanks for the video it made me so impatient to get there!
After visiting both countries Bulgaria and Romania for some time ho do u think is better to visit ? has more to offer for a tourist like ? More things to see and better Country overall ?
@@honeyheart8215 You are very wrong ! The original commentator "sorinpopa" above asked specifically which one is better. I agree with JustBored and Romania is in fact way better tourist destination by a huge margin.
@@fullyawake How am I wrong lol? Sorinpopa was specifically asking the youtubers of this channel, not others. Romania doesn't have MANY attractions that Bulgaria has to offer, and the other way around. Some people like castles and churches. Others like ancient ruins and monasteries. There's good things in every country. You are simply biased and narrow-minded !
@@honeyheart8215 My answer is 100% correct and confirmed by many travelers, youtubers including this chanel (check other videos ,) Romania have crazy ammounts of renovated monasteries and churches on top of preserved castles, better sea & mountain resorts too . Way better quallity food etc. I am sorry if your Bulgarian feelings are hurt but we are falling behind and there is no denying that. You are lucky I can't do longer posts with pictures to show everyone the extreme differences n shut ur lying mouth as well 😉
guys i must give you small tip .... at the beginning of the video when you do your morning coffee after the instant and the sugar you add ..... Ayran ... this is soured milk with salt .... basically this is drink for after hangover or refreshing drink if the lemonade is to sweet for you . The Bulgarian milk is creamy and very sweet so it will give you better taste and better texture of the drink :) i know it can be confusing for the tourists and that's why is a small tip from the local guy (me) xax . Hope you like our lovely country and the relaxing energy in the air ! i really hope you enjoy your stay and the experience you had ! Much love
Nice video! Thank you! Sofia is not Bulgaria, our other cities are cooler, especially Plovdiv. In Europe there are 4 oldest cities: Rome, Athens, Sofia and Plovdiv - the last two, are in Bulgaria :) Bulgaria and Greece are the oldest countries in Europe, so we have a lot of history and very nice places to visit.
Bulgaria is such an amazing country--our favorite that we have visited so far! We went to Plovdiv, too! Make sure you subscribe because next week we're releasing two videos on Plovdiv :)
@@scottpascal3099 Bulgaria is the oldest toghether with Greece, Romania is very new country. Please, read the history and then write comments. Also I think I know very well the history of my country.
