Exploring Sofia for a day

Today started with another free walking tour around the city. We learnt a lot about the history of this wee city. It was another beautiful day too so we spent the rest of the day just wandering about and trying some local food and wine as usual. There were a lot of vegetarian restaurants too which was a nice surprise!

There were hundreds of police all over the city which was a bit strange but we later found out that there was a big football game on and that was why. A huge crowd of supporters walked past screaming, chanting and throwing smoke bombs and smashing bottles. Bit intimidating!

We wandered about a random market festival that we found and smelt the most incredible smells! So good actually that we waited in line for almost 40 mins for a “chimney cake” covered in cinnamon... delicious and definitely worth the wait!!Read more
