Walking through history- with lots of stairs

Peter concentrates on the Roman period of the history of Sofia, then called Serdica. His knowledge is excellent. He was also able to deal withs my qurstuins about other periods of Bulgarian history. I really enjoyed having a guide to the museums. There is a lot of climbing up and down stairs and a hill.

Thank you very much for your kind words! I’m really glad you enjoyed exploring Serdica and the museums with me. It’s always a pleasure to dive into different periods of Bulgarian history and answer curious questions along the way. And yes — Sofia does keep us moving with its stairs and hills 😄 But I’m happy you took it all in stride! Hope to see you again in the future. Safe travels
