Step out of the ordinary and into a full-day journey filled with nature, culture, and relaxation.
We begin in the heart of Sofia at the majestic Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, then head up to Vitosha Mountain for a dramatic panoramic view from the cliffs near the TV tower at Kopitoto – a breathtaking photo stop above the city.
Next, we explore Bulgaria’s medieval soul with a visit to the UNESCO-listed Boyana Church, over 900 years old and nestled among the trees. Then it's time for a traditional Bulgarian lunch in a cozy mountain restaurant – homemade flavors to fuel your next adventure.
After lunch, we escape deeper into nature with a peaceful horseback ride through the wild beauty of Plana Mountain – open meadows, forests, and fresh air.
Finally, the perfect ending: a relaxing soak in the natural hot mineral pools of Sapareva Banya. Surrounded by mountains, sky, and steam – this is Bulgaria at its best.
