I had the great pleasure to attend Kamen Donev's performance called "Za Svatbite" (Weddings)! It was amazingly fun, fresh and full of national folklore. Had a great time during the national dances and songs which brought a unique feeling of tradition in one of the newest sports halls in Bulgaria.  He again proved to be a spectacular performer who can easily enchant the audience and create the opportunity for everyone to find something heart-melting! One of the best things about the unique experience - a couple from the audience was welcomed on stage!  The performance was split into different chapters and went on about how the weddings used to be arranged, how the couple would meet, how the families would negotiate the wedding and then the culmination was of course the wedding itself and all events that would happen around it. To tell the story of the typical wedding, he would tell the small story of each event from day one till the day of the wedding itself. One ...

I do love wine -it's amazing, there are so many different types, it can be enjoyed both with a book and cheese as well as with large groups of friends and many meats delights! It can be chilled or consumed at room temperature, you can have it with or without any add-ons like Sprite/ Ice/ Water.... It's the perfect drink!  Bulgaria is one of the first great wine producers, however is not as famous as France and Italy for example. There are many typically Bulgarian styles which can only be found in specific parts of the country. Everyone who knows more about wine can confirm that the geography is one of the most important components and has a huge impact so the best thing to do at the DiVino Wine Tasting was to try typical Bulgarian Wines. Of course, many exhibitors try different varieties, including amazing combinations, but it's always great to go for the traditional wine to make sure you know what's typical. Many of the exhibitors could offer types which are n...

I managed to attend the whiskey fest in Sofia this year! I'm very excited as I did manage to try different brands and amazing tastes! Wooden Barrel in Paradise Center  There were many controversial opinions. For example - I tried Chivas Regal Extra which I believe was simply amazing however I was not really fond of the Auchentoshan however my partner believes it is an amazing whiskey and couldn't believe I didn't fancy it! Therefore I got to the conclusion that obviously all whiskey tastes are amazing however which one would each person prefer, depends entirely on their personal choice and taste. I fell for more tasty and sometimes even sweet whiskeys. Other of the choices I loved: Lauder's Jim Beam Apple Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey The Grand Macnish Six Cask Edition Tasting glasses: We went outside for a smoke and enjoyed our whiskey at the top of the Sofia Event Center terrace What the Whiskey Fest gave me:  I had...

It's a place dedicated entirely to the history of the capital where you can see how the city changes and grows from at least 7000 BCE till today. The exhibition follows the historical order and is very easy to enjoy and really tourist-friendly with documentaries projected on the walls with both Bulgarian and English narrators. It's impressive to see the exhibition but it's also nice to enjoy what the narrators have to say- curious facts in an easy to understand language.  There are numerous halls dedicated to different time periods and things to see- from icons to a Mercedes and a train. One of the six I found out with surprise that Tsar Boris III was a huge fan and had 6 of those babies. One of them can be seen in the museum and honestly - it seems to be in a very good shape! I was personally impressed the most by the halls which represented the recent days - there were fantastic presents given to a Bulgarian prince or tsar by other countries' rulers ...
