Sofia in Bulgaria

Sofia is one of the place in Balkans that will surprise u: 1) Yes the signs here are confusing as they are in the cyrillic language, but you can always ask any youngsters here who can speak good English. Educational reforms here means there is a high literacy rate. 2) Transportation here is easy, just tap using a credit card. I have been to European countries with complex system of payment to get on buses and metro and they are truly a hassle. Whoever who did the payment system in Sofia is a genius! 3) Dont take a taxi if you can help it according to the locals here and many travel blogs, you are almost certain to get overcharged!
