- This is my first time visiting Bulgaria! I landed in Sofia and wanted to spend my first day walking around the capital city and gathering my initial thoughts. So I hope this video gives you my first impressions of Sofia, Bulgaria in 2024!
Also thank you so much to everyone who has subscribed to my channel! I can't believe I finally made it to 10,000 subscribers. I'm super excited to keep making content and growing even more :).

It is not obligatory to buy metro tickets with cash, you can just pass by validating your international credit card.
Thanks! I learned that pretty quickly and started using card haha
Alexander Nevsky is a church. It is always open. The crypt is a museum
Very surprised at how quiet and calm this city seems
Yeah man! It’s super relaxed
@@JakeBraymillerWelcome to Sofia. It is relaxed now becuase in the summer there is no one here. Everybody are by the seа or in the mountains. After 15th of September (kids start school) city will be full again. Enjoy your stay!
@@Zar0 Thank you! That's interesting to know :)
I really love to visit some day
You should! Definitely worth a trip
@@JakeBraymiller I have from East Africa have travelled almost everyplace here I want to go to Europe soon
Sofia is awesome!
Had a great time here :)
Sofia is alright, but it empties in summertime as people go to other cities, places, and countries.
Dude, this is not typical of Sofia. It is summervtime and you are traveling outside of peak hours. The gian building is Sofia University. If you go yo Serdika II station, you will see the permanent exhibit of some of the Roman ruins of Seruca
Why do people, especially from the United States pronounce Sofia incorrectly….
As a Bulgarian, living in Sofia - I can tell you , Sofia is the worst part of Bulgaria. I do understand the appeal it has to foreigners , you find charm in the things that usually piss of the locals. And this goes for every big city in the world.
The internet needs more travel vlogs that don't gloss over cities and show the reality.
Yours is actually pretty accurate.
Thanks for sharing! I hope I can portray the city in an accurate way
Great video Jake! Make sure to hit that Cafe at 15:42!
Thank you! We did go there 😁
Looks very 80s, clean, no graffiti, no overweight people, no crazy homeless people, no garbage,calm, everyone looks relaxed.
I wonder why that is
Good observations! Yeah it feels really old school. Noticed some of these things like graffiti and homeless people in some other parts of town. But overall is generally relaxed and calm
I lived 10-13 years ago near the church in the beginning. It was full with people using drugs and a lot of arab people. Now is worse :D
@bubachkobubachkov5519 It's definitely not worse, even though it's still a rough part of town. Nevertheless it's nothing compared to what they have in the US
@@dwartbg1 yes, what i like here is the peace that is everywhere. Even the bad guys become nice, because we have real freedom and you find real friends :D
Definitely lots of graffiti dude
You should have just walked straight ahead to the eponymous Saint Sophia Cathedral standing thete since at leadt V c. Why us it that no one bothers to see it? It is literally next to Alexander Nevsky. Most people also miss thevSt George Rotunda and the Serduca underpass.
I did go back and see these while I was in Sofia!
Thanks for sharing this sharing video, my friend!
Have a happy summer!
Greetings.
Thank you 😊. Happy summer!
Hope to see a Cost Of Living video soon from you
Sadly don’t have any current plans for a cost of living video in Bulgaria!
