Sofia zoo

David Hershman — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 09:00:00 +0300

Unfortunately, Sofia's zoo still has to catch up with the progressive approach towards housing animals.

Plovdiv Archaeological Museum

Clive Leviev-Sawyer — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 09:00:00 +0300

Restored, and something to treasure.

Sofia Live Club

Gabriel Hershman — Fri, 06 May 2011 09:00:00 +0300

Sofia Live Club opened in 2009 and has proved a popular venue for both solo acts and big band concerts.

Adi's Cook&Book

Gabriel Hershman — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 09:00:00 +0200

An original fusion concept – books and fine food – Adi's Cook&Book offers a wonderfully relaxing ambience in which to come in and browse, or even work on your laptop

Villa Rosiche

Gabriel Hershman — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 09:00:00 +0200

Few cafes in Sofia serve really good cakes and desserts, but one of the exceptions is Villa Rosiche, occupying a side street off Vitosha Blvd in central Sofia.

Bar Time

Nick Iliev — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 09:00:00 +0300

Bar Time is the latest watering hole in Sofia, a fine addition to the city's night life

Beli Iskur nature trail

Clive Leviev-Sawyer — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 10:00:00 +0300

Just a walk in the (Rila) park

Villa Oreletz guest house

Clive Leviev-Sawyer — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 08:56:00 +0300

Not all the blackberries were on the bush outside.

Hambara

Nick Iliev — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 10:00:00 +0300

A secretive, cryptic, bombed out cave happens to be a superb pub

Starbucks - A better class of coffee?

Gabriel Hershman — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 10:00:00 +0300

The enduring popularity of Starbucks is perhaps puzzling, particularly considering the prices in what is, after all, a self-service cafe.

One More Bar

Nick Iliev — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 10:00:00 +0300

Per capita, the area around Shishman Street in Sofia possibly holds the highest number of pubs and bars in the entire city.

Scouting Serdika Center

Alex Bivol — Thu, 06 May 2010 10:00:00 +0300

Spacious and less crowded, Serdika Center in Sofia offers nothing else but shopping, shopping, shopping

To The Mall and back

Petar Kostadinov — Thu, 06 May 2010 10:00:00 +0300

The Mall is big and challenging from all points of view

Eagles on the Aegean

Clive Leviev-Sawyer — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 10:00:00 +0300

It is a fine thing to awake and to step on to a balcony with a view, beyond palm trees, of an Aegean beach; it is a finer thing to have slept, the mild nights of spring allowing, with a window wide open enough to hear the sound of the waves on the gentle shore.

Underground

Lydia Dimitrova — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 10:00:00 +0300

A dingy, damp and insalubrious grotto is converted into a pleasant shopping haven

O! Sandanski

Adem — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 09:58:00 +0300

Think of Sandanski and think of the sun

Perfect Yamna

Petar Kostadinov — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 10:00:00 +0200

A little known weekend destination just 80km from Sofia awaits exploration.

Vitosha freestyle

Nick Iliev — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 10:00:00 +0200

There are ways to enjoy the mountain and skiing without having to limit yourself to the same slope and pay a ridiculous fee that does not match the service provided.

Palachinkova Kashta

Petar Kostadinov — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:59:00 +0200

The love of pancakes was the obvious rationale behind the owners’ decision to transform a former tavern into a pancake house (in Bulgarian, this translates as Palachinkova Kashta) in Sofia’s Dragalevtsi.

Confetti Gelateria

Lydia Dimitrova — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 10:00:00 +0200

In the summer of 2009, while wandering along the hectic Graf Ignatiev Street in Sofia, I happened upon a new venture with that alluring Gelateria in its title.
