БЪЛГАРСКИ

Булевард „Витоша“, по-известен като „Витошка“ е основна пътна артерия в центъра на София. Булевардът започва от ул. „Алабин“, преминава през идеалния център на София, пресича се с еднопосочния бул. „Патриарх Евтимий“, продължава покрай западната страна на парка на НДК, пресича се с бул. „България“, преминава през ж.к. „Иван Вазов“ и свършва при Южния парк при кръстовището с ул. „Бяла Черква“. Витошка е популярна с многобройните си магазини и бутици по нея. Според проучване на „Къшмън и Уейкфилд“ за 2007 г. „Витошка“ е 22-рата най-скъпа търговска улица в света. В участъка между ул. „Алабин“ и бул. „Патриарх Евтимий“ булевардът е пешеходна зона, забранена за МПС-та, като се допуска само пресичане през перпендикулярните на „Витоша“ улици. Именно в една от тези улучки на около 100 метра от самата Витошка е скрит самия кеш.

ENGLISH

Vitosha Boulevard, often called just (Vitoshka) is the main commercial street in the centre of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, which is abundant in many posh stores, restaurants and bars. It extends from the St. Nedelya Square to the Southern Park. Many high-end fashion labels have outlets on Vitosha boulevard and the neighbouring streets: Versace, Escada, Bulgari, D&G, La Perla, Lacoste, Van Laak, Ermenegildo Zegna, Tru Trussardi, Moreschi, Marella, Max Mara, Gianfranco Ferré, Emporio Armani, Tommy Hilfiger, Boss, Baldinini. Among the notable buildings, located on the boulevard are: The National Palace of Culture, The Palace of the Courts, the house where the famous Bulgarian poet Peyo Yavorov lived and died. The corner of Vitosha and Patriarch Eftimii boulevards, and many others. The palce is popular for meetings. The boulevard is named after Vitosha, the mountain just next to Sofia. It was an unadjusted street during the Ottoman rule of Bulgaria and acquired the name Vitoshka ulitsa ("Vitosha Street") after the Liberation, in 1883. The street was initially built up with low one-storey houses, but turned into an imposing trade street in the Interwar period as massive public buildings were constructed, changing Vitoshka's appearance completely. According to a 2007 Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. study, Vitosha Boulevard is the world's 22nd most expensive trade street. In the section between "Alabin" and "Patriarch Evtimii" pedestrian boulevard is closed to vehicle's, as is allowed only in perpendicular crossing of "Vitosha" street. On one of those streets about 100 meters from Vitosha itself is hidden The Cache.
