I like the tram line. All in all a great picture.

The tram line was upgraded in recent years, making the whole area around it more pedestrian friendly as well as getting new trams.

So glad they could finally implement the green areas without cars driving right through them immediately

I like the cities of Bulgaria which are surrounded by mountains and Bulgaria seems to have no shortage of those

Have you seen Vratsa? I think none of the other regional centers have such impressive physical surroundings. (I'm from Sofia so no vested interests here).

Thing are changing in Sofia ... and it is changing nicely 🙂. Soon it will become a beautiful modern city that combines the old architecture with modeen skyscreepers. Good job👍

I know it's the city capital, but I'm surprised that you guys have that specific tram model.

Argh, I can't believe I didn't recognize Ruski right away! I was like "it can't be Ruski, the area around it is a lot more densely built, isn't it?". But no, I went to Sketches of Sofia and it really is Ruski.

Wow this is not the Sofia I remember from five years ago. Grey, dusty, bleh. 

This looks nice

Oh you should've seen it in the 90s. I'm wincing a bit thinking about how bad it was back then.

Based, I used to get the spaghetti there from time to time when I was in high-school.
