Traditional Sweet Dishes
baklava
In Sofia, baklava is often made with coarsely chopped walnuts and a cinnamon-scented syrup, giving a heartier, less cloying sweetness than some other versions.
lokum
Lokum in Sofia often arrives scented with rosewater or lemon, and it became woven into Bulgarian sweet culture after being used as a favored diplomatic gift during Ottoman times.
tikvenik
Tikvenik is a seasonal favorite in Sofia, a thin phyllo roll filled with spiced pumpkin and walnuts, and it is a must at autumn and harvest celebrations.
Traditional Savory Dishes
banitsa
Banitsa is more than breakfast in Sofia, it is central to New Year celebrations when bakers tuck small charms and wishes into the layers so each bite can bring luck.
shopska salad
Shopska salad was created to showcase Bulgarian produce, its red, green, and white colors echo the national flag, and it quickly became a symbol of Bulgarian culinary identity.
sarmi
Sarmi, cabbage or vine leaves stuffed with rice and meat, are a Sofia staple at family gatherings, and rolling them is a communal ritual that can take an entire afternoon.
Traditional Beverages
rakia
Rakia is Bulgaria’s potent fruit brandy, commonly made from plums or grapes, and in Sofia it is customary to greet guests with a shot alongside warm toasts and local stories.
boza
Boza is a thick, mildly fermented millet drink with a sweet and tangy flavor, once carried through Sofia by vendors in wooden barrels and still loved as a nostalgic winter beverage.
wine
Bulgaria’s winemaking goes back to the Thracians, and vineyards around Sofia produce aromatic reds and crisp whites that have surprised international critics.

Redelijke prijs-kwaliteit for Europa, musea zijn klein, uitgaansleven goed als je van lokale rock en indie houdt.

Neem kleine leva-biljetten mee, veel bakkerijen en marktkramen accepteren geen kaarten en anders betaal je te veel.
Translated from English ·
Regen verpestte de helft van de trip, toch hield ik van de bakkerijen en de relaxte sfeer, 's nachts voelde ik me in de meeste wijken veilig.
Translated from English ·
Leuke mix van Sovjetarchitectuur en gezellige straatjes, Alexander Nevski-kathedraal indrukwekkend, eten degelijk, drie dagen voelde perfect.
Translated from English ·
Heb een week doorgebracht en bleef goedkope maaltijden en verborgen parkjes vinden, de lokale bevolking was gastvrij, zou in de zomer terugkomen.
