Overview of your Sofia tour:

The proposed customized tour covers some of the key cultural and natural highlights of the country, along with an in-depth introduction to its history, geology, landscapes and food (depending on your interests). We will visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Rila, Boyana, and Kazanlak, explore the unique sandstone landscape around Melnik and taste some award-winning wines. The tour allows for both cultural site exploration and for some pleasant walks in diverse landcapes. We will visit the highest mountain in the Balkans, one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world - Plovdiv (and EU Capital of Culture 2019), as well as some small towns with traditional architecture and rich history.
