DAY 2 SOFIA - RILA MONASTERY - PLOVDIV

You will be whisked from the capital to Rila Monastery, the most cherished monastery in Bulgaria. You will visit the church with adjoining museum and kitchen.

DAY 4 NESSEBAR

Nessebar is one of the oldest towns in Europe, popular for its coastal location and range of architecture from the Middle Ages and the National Revival period, which you can discover during your time here.

DAY 5 NESSEBAR - VARNA

The city of Varna marries a splendid coastline with a vibrant metropolis. The Black Sea is the biggest attraction here but Varna is more than just a seaside resort. The former ancient Greek colony has many notable sights including the 2nd century Roman thermal baths, the Cathedral of the Holy Mother and several museums - the National Revival Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Navy Museum and the Ethnographic and Historical Museum – if you need an escape from the crowded beaches during your stay.

The rock formations of Aladzha Monastery and the secluded forest of Pobiti Kamani bring an element of mystique to the tour before you return for another night in Varna.

The rich history of Bulgaria is further evidenced on this part of the tour as you visit the Madara Horseman National Preserve and the first ever capital of Bulgaria, Pliska. Ruins from the First Bulgarian Kingdom can also be found at Veliki Preslav. The day ends in another former Bulgarian capital, Veliko Tarnovo.

DAY 9 VELIKO TARNOVO - SOFIA
