Bulgaria Mineral Water

In Bulgaria drinking of mineral water was not popular 5 years ago

Usually Bulgarians drink water from the tap. The water from the tap can be used for cooking, washing and bath. 20 years ago mineral water was considered as healing water and only people with specific health problems had drunken mineral water. In the past the most popular brand was “Hisar” mineral water. It is still one of the top popular brands.

How to Cross the Streets in Sofia

We never ask ourselves how to cross the streets in Sofia We just do it!

During my visits in Western Europe countries I always was surprised the way drivers treat pedestrians. Pedestrians always have priority.

Here in Bulgaria and especially in Sofia, priority has the stronger, and in the most cases this is the man in the car :). But sometimes there are some very brave pedestrians and they have the priority.

What I mean! If there is traffic light – priority has the green light and my recommendation is to cross the streets in Sofia on places with traffic lights or subways.

But you are in Sofia center, there is huge traffic and you can cross the street everywhere in the traffic, only make sure that all cars are stopped at the moment when you step over the road.
