Sofia - Touch of Europe (Part Three)

Sofia - one of the oldest cities in Europe. 15th largest EU capital. The highest developed city on the Balkans. Before 1945 the city was called - The little Vienna because of it's unique western european architecture. Beautiful renaissance buildings and houses , big parks and green areas , many museums and historic sites . This all is surrounded with big CommieBlocks and communist monuments. Of course there are much , much more and many beautiful renaissance style buildings in the city just like in Wien and Budapest.

@MreznaMacka well... I will repeat myself. this is youtube, ppl upload videos just for fun, not to give you full information and gain you as a tourist. thats where guide book came.

@PifchoBG If i have seen in this video some interesting photo of a location which i would like to visit then I would like to be able to easily find where that location actually is. If i see a photo in this video and then if i need to check few hundreds of pages in some book and compare photos then its not quite a pleasure

Предпоследната снимка не ми прилича на София, къде е снимана?

@MreznaMacka If you are a tourist, get a guide book.

Ok, i see that you put a lot of effort in making this video but I need to tell you that more or less is useless except to be used as some screensaver?! For example, I am planning to visit Sofia and for me it would be damn good if you included names of these locations. If i want to visit some location I think that I am not able just to type in google "Nice building in Sofia with cool lights around it" :(

@xxpoonednoobxx Не е най-стария, но и двата града са по-стари от нас самите като нация. София е с крачка напред, тъй като е била столица на римска провинция и има доста повече римски останки.

@PifchoBG Пловдив е най-старият град в Европа. Ако почнеш да копаеш под Пловдив, ще откриеш хиляди неща, но така е и със София, сега откриха стара Сердика. Истината е, че къде копнеш в България, ще намериш много.

Berlin.....the absolute lookalikes!
