Going to Bulgaria? Then you must try Banitsa!!! This traditional pastry is one of the most popular dishes within the Bulgarian cuisine and the staple of the Bulgarian breakfast. Being phyllo-dough-based, Bulgarian Banitsa is a type of burek (börek) and it comes with a broad range of fillings; the most common are different cheeses (most often sirene cheese), spinach, minced meat or a combination. There are also sweet fillings, for instance apple or pumpkin. This calorie dense pastry is inexpensive and thus makes for the perfect street food. Banitsa can be found across the country, and for the Bulgarian capital Sofia - at bakeries in every corner. You will love this Bulgarian food dish, trust me! However, obviously there are more to the Bulgarian cuisine than Banitsa. Don't forget to try Shopska Salad, Tarator soup and Kebapche at the least.

And what about the Bulgarian capital Sofia City? Surrounded by mountains, Sofia is located 550 metres above sea level. The scenary is beautiful when strolling the streets; Vitosha mountain can always be seen in the distance. The high elevation results in relatively large temperature variation between day and night, with days being hot and nights being somewhat chilly during the summer months. There are many attractions and sightseeing spots and all are within walking distance - visting Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is a must. Adding friendly people and inexpensive accommodation and food makes Sofia the perfect European summer travel destination.
