The museum you visited was the Sofia museum, and as you have noticed it has mostly artefacts found in Sofia. The history of Bulgaria can be better viewed at the National History Museum, which is not in the city center I also notice that many tourists get impressed by the 4th century rotunda of St George - it has been built as part of emperor Constantine the Great's palace complex. There is another 4rth century church that is much larger and of bigger historical importance - the St Sofia church - it is it that gave the name Sofia to the city - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Sophia_Church,_Sofia This church is just next to the Alexander Nevski cathedral,, which is definitely more impressive and throws a shadow on its much older neigbour.
@@AshleyandChristian May I give you guys a suggestion: I recommend you guys visit my city in southern Brazil called FLORIANÓPOLIS, it is breathtaking and totally off-Rio de Janeiro concept that most americans believe Brazil to be all about. We are so beautifully different from corner of our country. As or right now I am visiting a city called GRAMADO, which is located above sea level altitude in a State called Rio Grande do Sul, it looks like Switzerland and it gets below zero during winter and can even snow. Check them out on youtube: Florianopolis, Santa Catarina State and Gramado, Rio Grande do Sul State.
@@mariodezert wow man I searched both cities and they look completely different from most typical huge Brazilian towns. Gramado looks nothing like a south american town. Looks like a central european town. Florianopolis looks so exotic
@@patsalis5112 Oh man, my city Florianópolis is the darling city of Brazil. It’s carnival holiday next week and the city will be packed with tourists. Of course, Rio there too. I love our beaches in Florianopolis. Gramado é RICH!
Lucky you! I did them both back-to=back in 2019 and LOVED them both.Lovely Sofia, Amazing Plovdiv, Majestic Bucharest, Beautiful Brasov, Splendid Sibiu. I’d love to go back and see more. joy your visit!
Guess what...the world's favorite the Turks never allowed us to build churches during theur 500 reign. The first time was only in 1861. And Bulgaria hot their independence in 1908.. so your comment on AL. Nevsky Cathedral being built only in the 20th century is insulting to most Bulgarians. Not only were we not allowed to build churches but many of our churches were converted to mosques!
Love your videos! Quick question please. I have a week (5 days) in September that I plan to split between Bucharest and Sofia. Having been to both, which one would you recommend I spend more time in… 3 days in one and 2 in another?
Great travel piece. I can't wait to visiti. I really love the food there...very similar to the Midwestern USA Polish-american dishes we grew up with...just simple, hearty meals with loads of ....MEAT!
@@heyyou274 The insane amount of corruption in hospitals like Pirogov for example is the most corrupt hospital in Sofia the insane amount of corruption in police and almost every other area, Food is fake made of chicken feet and god knows what , One friend was in food comission and after he exposed major food company for having toxic and fake products sold as food (imitations) he was fired the company was paid money coz their good name was darkened..... i travel alot i know alot of people it sucks all know it stop Lying even for tourism is bad unless you like what is called Nature tourism and you dont rly need quality food or hotel but you are actual tourist who seeks places that are new and undiscovered that is only reason you could visit, otherwise avoid... and never rely on goverment services for anything (police, fire department, medical care, so on)
That’s super awesome that the coffee shop had a printer, but at the same time…how old school to have to print out your boarding pass! 😂 That Cathedral is beautiful! I love all of the domes and the teal-ish roof! The history museum would be so cool to see in person! Loling at the twist ties on your mic! 😂
Just a quick note. In Bulgaria you can definitely go without printing your boardcard, at least at Sofia airport. I travel through there often and have not printed anything in basically 15 years. I also would love to visit that History museum and also the Sofia St Forest - a huge amount of old churches and monasteries in the surrounding area. After Boyana church of course
Guys, it's the yogurt that is made with a special bacteria that only exists in Bulgaria. The cheese you can make anywhere haha, but it is sort of unique to the region.
You are not very smart person, are you. Bulgaria is an average size European country. It is bigger than many countries, including countries like Hungary, Austria, the Netherlands, Denmark and Portugal etc. Have you ever met a person from one of these countries calling his country small-only Bulgarian amebas like you are doing this. Idiot.
