Thousands Live in Tunnels under Sofia

A whole underground city exists under Sofia streets. Hundreds of kilometers of tunnels spread under the capital. Some of them are so big that buses can pass through them.

Nowadays the catacombs host thousands of clochards. Witnesses say, ten to twenty thousand people live there.

"These figures are unrealistic," said Sofia Mayor Boyko Borissov but he could [not] give the exact number of the homeless living in the tunnels.
