Most of the churches here have spent several centuries of their existence as mosques, the overbearing soviet architecture, or the Roman history that is still being uncovered and blends with the modern city. Most of the buildings in the city are from the Bulgarian Revival in the late 19th century, when the country reclaimed its independence from the Ottomans.

Bring Extra ATM & Credit Cards During Your Travel
There is a saying that doesn’t keep all your money with you when you travel, but that doesn’t mean you should not bring extra money at all. Keep extra credit and atm cards with you when you travel. This will help greatly when things go south and believe me, it probably will. Keeping cards instead of cash with your person is better and safer.
Always Stay In Touch
Despite the beauty of the world, it is not necessarily a safe one. Even if you are doing a solo trip, always keep in touch with your family and/or friends. Let them have a copy of your itinerary so that they have an idea of where you are. Keep them close in contact each day and let them know when you are changing locations during your trip.
Keep Your Accommodation Address with You
This might sound ridiculous but it is important nonetheless. We tend to underestimate ourselves and assume we have it all in our heads. It is best to have it with you at all times because when you need a specific direction back, you can refer to it easily. It is best to keep it on paper as well because you will never know when the handy-dandy technology will fail you when you need it the most.
