Scenes from Sofia, Buglaria - Part 4

After checking out the area around Doctor's Garden my plan was to head southwest through the city toward Central Park on ths south side. If you pull up a map of Sofia you'll see the center of the city is oriented like a clockface. These pictures are things I noticed walking the stretch along ulitsa Tsar Shishman, from ulitsa Aksakov on the north down to the Orthodox Temple of the Seven Saints on the south side. Then I kept going a bit into the area between Vasil Levski Blvd and Evlogi Hristo Georgiev Blvd. A really eclectic mix of boutiques, restaurants, local bodegas, closed storefronts, with a healthy amount graffiti all around.
When I got to the little square around the Orthodox Temple of the Seven Saints it was time to eat. Grab & Go Pizza station got my attention. Clearly I was excited and ready to feed as I took mulitple shots of it for posterity.
This place, the Thirsty Dragon, has great reviews and looks like a cool place to check out. Next time.
When I got to Central Park I saw the initial signs of the coming Christmas market set up.
Then it was back to the hotel, via the route that went up through Vitosha Blvd. Somehow the only picture I took of the most famous street in Sofia was this one.
