A Place to Go

"I am so bored! There is nothing to do in Blagoevrad!" The more time we spend in this little town, the more often we are likely to hear words like that. Same places, same people. Juliany, Underground, Piano Bar, some other clubs, cafes, bowling and a cinema. This might not be an exhaustive list, but it is relatively close to the full range of the free-time activities one can enjoy in Blagoevgrad. While it might be satisfactory for a first- or second-year student, it might get too "worn-out" for someone, who has been in the town for more years.

But there is always a way out! ;)

As has been mentioned in the introductory post, the main point of this blog is to counter the misconception that there are no fascinating things close to us. The same holds true for the entertainment. Here is the solution for those tired of the daily routine and same evening activities - Zayova Polyana, the highest point of Blagoevgrad. The place is known mostly for the giant cross symbolizing Christianity and erected to protect the citizens of the town. However, it is not only the cross itself that makes the place special. The meadow also gives an amazing overview of the entire town. Even though it is a long way on foot, a curious visitor can take a cab for a reasonable price and get to the cross within ten minutes. The best time to enjoy the view is the evening-night. Not only does Blagoevgrad shine with an array of colors and lights, but the cross gets lit up as well. Such a visit can become an unforgettable experience for a demanding visitor or simply someone tired of the daily hustle and bustle.

After all, it is the matter of time and desire to find an entertainment. Why not give a try to this idea, and who knows, maybe, it will become your daily time occupation?
