Favorite thing: I did notice an internet cafe here in the centre of town but forget where it was but if you have your laptop with you and need a connection several of the cafe-bars here offer free Wi-Fi. The Vision Cafe on the corner of Dounavska and Batenberg (??) was the one that I used most mornings which has a fast and reliable connection, and, as a bonus, decent coffee, friendly staff and is pretty good for breakfast too.

Favorite thing: Vidin is one of the oldest towns along the Bulgarian Danube bank. It appears as the Roman fortress of Bononia on the foundations of a Thracian settlement. During the First Bulgarian Kingdom it is known as Budin (Bdin). Bishop's centre. During the Second Bulgarian Kingdom it is a strong fortress and after 1371 a capital of the Vidin Kingdom under Tsar Ivan Sratsimir.
Fondest memory: Walking in the riverbank park in sunset.

Favorite thing: It's nice to walk along the Danube river, and the locals seem to enjoy it as well.

Favorite thing: Walking around in the center is an interesting experience. Especially on a hot Sunday afternoon because, as you can see, the place was dead.
