In this vlog I attempt to climb Vitosha, a 2000m plus mountain overlooking Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia.

  1. When you walk on a road like that you should walk on the left side so you we have the cars on your side coming from in front, so you can see them easy…

  2. Me and my boyfriend are travelling to Bucharest and Sofia (then Athens) in just a few weeks time, so your videos have arrived just in time! Very useful, thank you!

  3. Man, I'm from Sofia and at some point of your video I thought " Wow, he's so brave and decisive in taking these shortcuts!"
    Be careful next time, at some parts of the video I was quite worried of you getting lost. Don't underestimate the mountain.
    However, I'm really glad you got to Kopitoto, the view from there is totally worth it! 🙂

  4. Kopitoto is not the highest peak in Vitosha and it's famous for the TV tower from which they used to transmit TV signal. The highest peak is Cherni Vrah. You can take one of the two lifts we have from Dragalevtsi or from Simeonovo, and after that you have a long way to walk to the peak. And it's not dangerous. There's no way of getting lost if you chose this way. Maybe you could try to climb mount Cherni Vrah next time. Good luck. Great videos by the way!

  5. its verry rare to get busted for not havung a ticket in sofia … we have the ladies that check your ticket but they are not consistent in looking for ppl with no tickets … i havent payed for a ticket here in over 2 years and i even use the subway daily. I think we need to change our sistem 😀 … btw love the videos keep it up!

  6. Really enjoying watching your vlogs; they're both informative and entertaining. I love the mix of personal stories, great photography and useful information. We travel to Bulgaria next week and these vlogs have been so helpful, thank you.

  7. Nice video but you cou could do it better – there are really beautiful places at Vitosha mountain and you could climb Cherni vrah (the Black peak) – the top of the mountain 🙂

  8. Kiddo, you are too brave for your own good climbing Vitosha at that heat ! I remember when I Was climbing the mountain with my grandparents, we start at 6 AM and by noon we were going back down to the city !

  9. Oh, my Godness.. Such a difficult treking up.. I visited Sofía and I saw those mountains from my Hotel window but I didn't think to climb them 🚩. Great Video and Keep on climbing
