Join us on a small-group guided trip to one of the most iconic communist monuments from the past in Eastern Europe. The UFO-like abandoned building is located on top of Buzludzha Peak in the Central Balkan Mountains. Today, an empty structure stripped of its initial purposes, it has gained many admirers and popularity around the world, and is considered a remarkable representation of this part of history. We will make a short stop at the wonderful Ethnographic Complex of Damascen, where you can learn more about the production of the famous Bulgarian rose oil. Last, enjoy the beautiful Shipka memorial church and the scenic sub-Balkan way on the way back to Sofia!
