My business and personal trips

Whether it is because we are locked at home because of the pandemic of COVID 19, or simply because it is spring and the weather is beautiful, the capital of Bulgaria - Sofia is fabulously beautiful at the moment. Unfortunately, the streets are deserted, but the parks and gardens, on the other hand, are beautiful.

Especially some of the big buildings like banks, shopping centers and hotels attract me with its decorations. Sofia downtown Location of Sofia Christmas market I‘d like to share some pictures (sorry for the poor quality, but it seems to be that smart phones are not the best decisions for night shots) and information about a place I found ( exactly here ) , that turned out to be the Sofia Christmas Market.  It is located at the city garden, right next the Bulgarian National Theatre “Ivan Vazov”. I don’t why, but It makes me feel like I’m in Austria or Germany, may be because there were signs “Weihnachtsmarkt”.  Weihnachtsmarkt Sofia The market offers:  Christmas food - different type of sausages, just like Austrian’s and German’s “Wurst”, pastry and candies; hot wine (Glühwein)...
