Thank you for your support and keep exploring!
I would say neighbourhoods like Boyana, Simeonovo, Dragalevtsi and Sredets (and Mladost 4 and complexes above Garitage park) are more expensive and luxurious. Lozenets is expensive too but it looks so old - Tram 10 is old (made in Czechoslovakia, bul. Journalist is filled with drunks and hobos, ~80% of the buildings are old. While in the neighbourhoods that i mentioned the really rich crimi.... business men go there, make giant new luxurious houses and park their shiny costly cars and so on.
I'm saying this cuz people outside of Bulgaria may look at this video and get the impression that the other neighbourhoods look even worse. That's not correct, we have way way better ones with new and beautiful buildings and new public transport and so on. We do have way worse ones too :D
точно па тия квартали са мега зле, а пък младост 4 лол - на пичка си лелина панелно гето
Boyana? The place without public transport, central heating, decent road infrastructure, or even sewage? Luxurious? Are you smoking fentanyl? Studentski grad is more luxurious than Boyana...
Nice overview, balanced. Completely agree as a fellow Sofia-born dude
cobbler is the word you are looking for. nice video!
Yes most expensive area in Sofia, next is, I think “Doctors Garden”
The most expensive zones are “Doctors Garden” and area around old parlament building. "Lozenetc" is on 3/4 place with "Ivan Vazov". "Iztok" is expensive too.
Ivan Vazov is the last good neighborhood. Near the South park snd the Vitosha mountian.🎉
@@felicialx Iztok is also nice, I believe, I would live there.
To me, this will always be площад Йорданка Николова.
Точно така. Тя се е борила слещу фашистите и е разстреляна през 1944г. През демокрацияна се окяза, че не заслужава памет.
The issue is, there is no proper law that would force people to upkeep the outsides of buildings, they might do renovations inside, but the facade is just being let go. Even though it's still an essential part of the building and it being compromised, might comromise the building in the long run. This is something I'm super sad about.
Nobody cares anymore, back in the day everybody tried to maintain their sh*t, not it's either subsidies or we won't care situtation....
It is still a school. 😊

Stunning house with a swimming pool in Spain vs. Обущар - бързина и качество - who would win
Nice video
Обущар = cobbler
""The ones who live close the eyes of the dead, but the ones who die open the eyes of the living" - It is a cautionary tale of life under soviet rule and the cost of people's cowardice that was paid the few who were willing to speak up. Oppression was always the preferred way of dealing with problems for the soviets with the occasional gruesome assassination of dissenters abroad to prove that nobody was out of reach. The ones who got in the way of the system at home were disappeared and their neighbors pretended they never existed. Bulgarians like many other nations in the Eastern Bloc were thoroughly broken by soviet rule and to this day remain cynical and largely unwilling to take part in civil society and bear responsibility for their own future out of fear of repercussions.
Thanks, this was very interesting to understand
This is the biggest pile of steaming shit I've ever read. You are unwilling to take any initiative or responsibility to better living conditions in the country, and you're looking for a scapegoat in the face of oppressors that haven't been around for more than 30 years. Grow a pair.

Absolute pothole... The ugliest European capital contest is tense but Sofia is for sure in the top three
True, it's very chilled and people have a lot of fun here, thanks for the props up😂❤
The most expensive neighourhood still looks like we're in the 80s, democracy can't even reach what was reached back in the day...
It's not expensively developed. In this case, expensive means not in densely built with old houses city center, not in later built districts, regardless of how remote to the city central area, green streets, situated between the three largest parks in short walking distance to them, no main congested traffic arteries within neighborhood. In this case, central city area means almost all theaters, art galleries, most of the national museums, most of the buildings of the oldest and largest in the country university, many of them actually not in the central area, but in this neighborhood. Also in this neighborhood two underground metro lines, many trams, trolley busses and buss lines. All of the mentioned features depending on your walking pace and particular location in 10 to 25-30 minutes of walking, or in other perspective no need for a car, and even any public transport or taxi for your health activities or cultural life. Even in nasty weather, you can watch a show of any kind after hours, have a late dinner with drinks after that with the human near you, and walk home without freezing or getting wet to the panties. That's expensive (because it's desirable).
@@deepblueskyshine There's parks & public transport within walkable distance in almost all other neighbourhoods. Bars, cafes & most visited clubs & restaurants are not even in the center, they're all in different areas of the city. Let's not mention the most leisure & visited places like malls, arenas & stadiums that are not even close to the center.
It's not even healthy to excercise outside in some of the centetr areas as you'll get burning lungs...
70% of sofia's population wants to be gone for the weekend, but most of them can't because they pay high rent & can't afford a normal vehicle, the other 30% lives outside near Sofia & only come for work.
The things you mentioned are only useful for visitors or foreigners living in the center, but that's not even close to what most locals desire nor visit.
So let's not lie each other on the current state of Sofia.
@wizaaeed Yet, a large city still has all the negatives regardless of whether you live in the center, near it, like in Lozenets, in Druzhba 2, in Mladost 4, in Lyulin 4 or some closed new development in the former agricultural fields. People are different, and please, don't mention shopping malls as a gathering centers: "Mall Kids" movie is 50 years old and reflected life in a country that has mostly destroyed the meaning of city living 50 years back in time, so allow me to express my absolute disrespect for it. You want to live in nature and drive at least half an hour to the city for work and anything else: nearby towns and villages are your opinion, still the prices there are like in Lozenets and higher. I'm one of these few natives that feels happy in holiday months, when the old part of the city is almost empty of the crowd of invaders behaving like owners of the world and I can enjoy my beloved old places just by myself and my friends alike, and I'm not feeling any guilt for it. But all these thoughts are missing the point and are very subjective: Lozenets propperty is expensive simply because it's desired by the people, and all of mine and yours suggestions why it's so, are just subjective explanations of an existing fact.
@@deepblueskyshine oh yes i totally agree with you, thats why i found that the countryside is the best place for me.
I cant stand a single second living in sofia, i have respect for the city, but no respect for what people & the politicians are turning it into...

You mean shoe maker, right? In Slovak it says the same " obuvník ". It means repairer. He does not make shoes.
@@janlampert5688 обущар means basically someone who deals in shoes. It is derived from обуща, which is an archaic version of modern обувки lexical term. So it could be interpreted as an all-rounder designation. Groetjes,
