Mineral Water Springs
by Izvor
I have had people asking me if the water in Sofia/Bulgaria is good for drinking... Here is what I have to say on this matter:
Bulgaria is well known for the big number of Mineral Water Springs. You can find water of any taste depending on the spring it comes from... soft and sweet, sharp and mineralized, common one... You can buy it in bottles of 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 l , 1,5 l and 5 l. It is good and very healthy.
And when I say healthy, it is good to mention that at each Mineral Water Spring normaly there are Baths which are well known for their good impact on health. For more information, please check the helpful site mentioned bellow!

However the water coming from the sink could be not really good. Which depends on the local piping system. It is always good if you can make sure you let the water flow for a minute or two before you drink it.
Wedding - the Bulgarian way

I don't know how you decorate your cars for the most important day in your life / we call it "blind sunday"/ ironicly/ but here is one good example of a car driving the bride. Just to let you know if you see it ...

One bag only

I would suggest you to carry little luggage because here you can find almost everything and for very cheap prices. The climate is temperate so it depandes on the season. The winter usually is very cold and the summer often very hot. There are plenty of drug-stores here so I believe you can find almost everything you'd need. A camera would be enough.
What travellers miss the most...
by conservomat
What travellers miss the most when they visit Sofia is the rest of the country. Sofia is easily the ugliest part ofBulgaria, and is not particularly representative of Balkan culture. Check out Plovdiv's old town or the Black Sea coast if you can. There are also great mountains and amazing monasteries.
not just for the night

we heard that buddha bar was open 00-24. so we decided to pay it a visit... it was about 5 am when we came in. there was no other guests and the waitresses were sleeping on the bench! we woke them up and ordered some big lots-of-everything-inside cocktails and hot sandwiches with 3 kinds of cheese and eggs and tomatoes... i thought they were going to kill us for that! but infact they were very nice and kind to us!
