I hitchhiked to Sofia from Niš in summer 2017.I was quite lucky and got an almost direct ride with a kind truck driver. However we spent ages at the Serbian/Bulgarian border, also because trucks have to go through many more controls than normal cars (after passport check they also weighed and x-rayed our cargo). The driver dropped me in the outskirts of Sofia where I jumped on a random bus and managed to reach a metro station before sunset (picture one). Then I took the underground to my friend’s neighbourhood and tried to reach her flat but I got lost in the plattenbauten maze (picture 2).It’s funny to think that it was easier to hitchhike from one country to another and use a new public transport system than to find the right flat in a socialist neighbourhood. -- source link
