Como decía mi abuela, el que no quiere una taza se le dan dos. jajajaja eso me pasa a mi frecuentemente... :P Volví a Sofia como parada de una noche en mi trayecto a Dubai.
Llegué al aeropuerto viejito y cogí el bus que va entre terminales que era gratis y quedaba en toda una esquina de la salida principal. Cuando llegué al nuevo fui derechita al metro hasta la estación Serdika y caminé a mi hotel Vega Pensión que estaba muy bien ;) la recepcionista muy amable.

Wikipedia sobre la sinagoga:
The Sofia Synagogue is located in the center of Sofia , on 16 Ekzarh Yosif Street, next to the Halite , near the Piroska Street and not far from the Women's Market .
It was built in 1909 on a project by the famous Austrian architect Friedrich Gruenanger , who took over the synagogue in Vienna, which was later destroyed by the Nazis. The old synagogue of Sofia called "Ahava and Hashed" was built in the same place.
It was officially opened on September 9, 1909. It is the largest on the Balkan Peninsula and 3rd in Europe (after the synagogues in Budapest and Amsterdam ), as well as the largest Sephardic synagogue on the continent. It can accommodate over 1,000 people in the main room (for men) and on the inner balconies (where women are praying). A true work of art is the country's largest chandelier (weighing 2 tons) that decorates the temple. In the yard there are miwves - a small bath for ritual Jewish washing.
Since May 8, 1992 the synagogue shelters the Jewish History Museum. He has expositions about the Jewish community in the country, the Holocaust, and the rescue of the Jews in Bulgaria.
