Today I'll post a few pictures I took month ago when I've been in Bulgaria's capital, Sofia. I got to the centre, strated from place called Bouleverd Vitosha, after that I passed by the National Palace of Cuture, then Slaveykov square, National teatre, the Yellow pavement and then again to the Sofia Court House, where I finished the loop. All in all it is not a great distance and can be walked in an hour or so if you don't get distracted too much.

| Bouleverd Vitosha, also called Vitoshka. It is considered to be the centre fo Sofia |
 |
| Sofia Court House |
 |
| On Vitoshka can be found pretty big bookshop with Cafe in it, which makes the reading and buying of books extra pleasant experience |
 |
| There are a lot of benches for people to rest from their walk or shopping |
 |
| The garden of NDK (National Palace of the Culture), the building itself can't be seen oh this photo |
 |
| Sleeping dog in the middle of Slaveykov square. The stray dogs are big problem of the city, but some of them seems to be better integrated and don't do any problems at all. |
 |
| The very first McDonalds opened in Sofia in the mid-nineties. It was considered exotic and posh place to eat and so expensive, that only the richest Bulgarians could eat regulary there |
 |
| Side roads around Vitoshka |
 |
| Slaveykov square used to be one of the biggest street markets for books in the World, but now for various reasons it is not so big anymore |
 |
| Big part of the Sofia's public transport net are the tram lines, which criss-cross the city |
 |
| The National Theatre "Ivan Vazov" |
 |
| The garden in fron of the National Theatre |
