Random Sofia

Here is my final post on Sofia with random photos during my trip to Bulgaria‘s capital in August, 2015.

Until next time!

Other Churches in Sofia

There were the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the “Russian Church” in Sofia, Bulgaria I wrote about.  A few other notable varieties in the city.

The Church of St. George

The Church of St. Petka of the Saddlers is found below the street level.

The Banya Bashi Mosque

The Sofia Synagogue

Really wanted to see the inside of the synagogue but was met with the sign above.  It happens to me a lot.

 

A Roof Top Bar in Sofia, Bulgaria

There aren’t many tall buildings in Sofia and there seems to be fewer bars high up.  This was an exception, something new to the city.

Sofia’s first designer hotel.

The lobby area.

Going up in the elevator.

A magnificent view.

Ditto.

Here comes my glass of Champagne. Bliss.

Lovely.

A glass of white. The only time I chose French over Bulgarian.

Another view.

Snobbish?  Yes, definitely.  I could stand it as it was early in the evening and the bar didn’t have many customers yet.  I also got a seat on the edge with the best view of the cathedral.  Lucky me.  🙂

Buildings I Liked in Sofia, Bulgaria

I love looking at buildings, just randomly while taking walks.  Apart from churches and other monumental buildings, here are some of the random buildings, or facades thereof, I liked in Sofia.

 

Honey in Bulgaria

During my stay in Sofia, Bulgaria, I saw a lot of honey being sold in markets and other stores.  I also saw from the ride between Sofia and the Rila Monastery what looked like honey farms in several villages.

@ Jenski Pazar, the “Women’s Market” in Sofia

More from Jenski Pazar

I bought a few jars to take home for friends and family in a shop in a residential neighborhood near my apartment in central Sofia.  The ones I bought were not labeled and looked like homemade.

This shop had other goodies as well.
