You will need a car to get there, but it is just about an hour and a half drive away from Bulgaria\u2019s capital. It\u2019s also possible to take the Rila Shuttle from Sofia, which costs about 20 Euros round trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rila Monastery is the largest Orthodox monastery in Bulgaria and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was founded back in the 10th century. The monastery was built by the students of Saint Ivan of Rila, a monk who lived in a nearby cave. Sadly, the original buildings have not survived, but the oldest buildings at Rila Monastery still date to the 14th century.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The most impressive feature of the monastery is the stunning colorful frescoes that decorate the walls. These paintings show stories from the Bible from the Garden of Eden to the Last Judgement. Some of the frescoes are rather gruesome, but some might think that just makes them more attractive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong><em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/sofia-l158\/rila-monastery-and-boyana-church-tour-t50410\/?partner_id=5AW89LS&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;utm_source=traveldrafts.com%40gmail.com&amp;placement=content-middle&amp;cmp=Bulgaria\">Book an organized tour to Rila Monastery<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Admission to the monastery and church is completely free, but if you want to see the attached History Museum, it costs 8 Euros.

It\u2019s well worth it because this hike would be steep without much scenery since the real views begin at the hike starting point when you disembark the chairlift.

Popular things to do in Veliko Tarnovo include visiting Tsaravets Fortress, walking through the town\u2019s historic district, and visiting the nearby monasteries. A day in Veliko Tarnovo won\u2019t cost you more than a similar day in Sofia, so the only extra expenses you need to worry about is the cost for the bus ticket or car rental.<\/p>\n<p>Rental car prices fluctuate depending on the season and your desired car, whereas a round-trip bus ticket costs about $18 per person. You might think that a visit here only makes sense in the summer, but the city has festivities and events that make a winter visit here also a good idea.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"722\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Veliko-Tarnovo.jpg\" alt=\"Daytrips from Sofia, Bulgaria\" class=\"wp-image-19138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Veliko-Tarnovo.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Veliko-Tarnovo-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Veliko-Tarnovo-768x542.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"722\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Veliko-Tarnovo.jpg\" alt=\"Daytrips from Sofia, Bulgaria\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-19138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Veliko-Tarnovo.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Veliko-Tarnovo-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Veliko-Tarnovo-768x542.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Veliko Tarnovo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plovdiv\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plovdiv\"><\/span>Plovdiv<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>by Anda Bartos of Travel for a while<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Plovdiv is conveniently located for a day trip from Sofia, just about 150km on a highway.

However, Kyustendil has been an important spa town for centuries. Attracted by the numerous hot springs in the area, the Thracians founded Kyustendil between the 5<sup>th<\/sup> and 4<sup>th<\/sup> centuries BC. The city was later Roman, Byzantine, Bulgarian, Serbian, Ottoman, and again Bulgarian. Today, you can bathe in the historical baths located in the city center. What\u2019s more, you have several modern spa hotels to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>Kyustendil offers more than millenary mineral waters. The ruins of a Roman Thermae from the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> or 3<sup>rd<\/sup> centuries AD are the second-largest archaeological remains in Bulgaria. The Hissarlaka, an early medieval fortress, sits proudly on the hill overlooking the city. From Ottoman times, you have two mosques to visit: the Fatih Mehmed and Ahmed Bey, built in the 15<sup>th<\/sup> century. However, the city has an even older temple. We are talking about the remarkable 11<sup>th<\/sup> century St. George Orthodox Church. Finally, you can spend hours walking about the city discovering wonderful examples of 19th-century civil architecture.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since Kyustendil is on the road connecting Sofia to Skopje, you can take any of several daily buses. The journey from Sofia lasts between 2 hours and 2 hours 40 minutes, depending on the bus company. Additionally, you can take a direct train or 6 with a connection in Pernik or Radomir.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kyustendil.jpg\" alt=\"Day Trips near From Sofia\" class=\"wp-image-19108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kyustendil.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kyustendil-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kyustendil-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kyustendil.jpg\" alt=\"Day Trips near From Sofia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-19108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kyustendil.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kyustendil-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kyustendil-768x511.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Kyustendil<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Devetashka_cave\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Devetashka_cave\"><\/span>Devetashka cave<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>by Corina Preda of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/anothermilestone.eu\">another milestone<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Devetashka cave is located 170 km away from Sofia, in N-E.

Near the parking lot, you will find the ticket kiosk \u2013 the entrance ticket is less than 2 euro.<\/p>\n<p>Once you get inside, you can see the highlight of this cave: the holes in the ceiling. It is one of the biggest caves in Bulgaria, with a large cavity at the entrance, but only a part of it is accessible to tourists. Walk around the cave, climb the stairs to reach its highest point, and admire the sky seen through the holes. Inside you will need warmer clothes and sports shoes.<\/p>\n<p>The cave is surrounded by a beautiful, natural landscape, but in the area, you won\u2019t find anything to drink or to eat. That is why it is better to come prepared or, on the way back to Sofia, you can stop in Lovech, the nearest city to the cave. In Lovech, you will find restaurants for lunch and even a beautiful, covered bridge to visit if you need one more attraction for your trip.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Devetashka-cave.jpg\" alt=\"What to do near Sofia in Bulgaria\" class=\"wp-image-19106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Devetashka-cave.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Devetashka-cave-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Devetashka-cave-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Devetashka-cave.jpg\" alt=\"What to do near Sofia in Bulgaria\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-19106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Devetashka-cave.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Devetashka-cave-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Devetashka-cave-768x511.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Devetashka cave<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bansko\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bansko\"><\/span>Bansko<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>by Seanna Fallon of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/seannasworld.org\/\">Seanna\u2019s World<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Bansko is a charming mountain town in the southwest of Bulgaria, easily reachable from Sofia in a 2-hour drive. A welcome respite from the capital, Bansko is a peaceful hub where the real draw is the Pirin mountains.<\/p>\n<p>In winter, Bansko is a thriving ski and snowboard resort, and in the warmer months, it is a perfect jumping-off point for some exciting hiking trails.<\/p>\n<p>Nearby Mount Vihren is the second highest peak in Bulgaria, and just about doable in a day if you set off really early from Sofia to Bansko and head back late. However, if you want to take a more relaxed hike, start at Vihren hut, and there are color-marked trails you can follow. For example, the yellow trail takes around 2 hours each way at a leisurely pace, and there is a mountain top lake where you can stop for a wild swim. The best thing about a day like this is it is completely free.<\/p>\n<p>If hiking isn\u2019t your thing, Bansko also has a lovely old town to wander around, or you could relax in the spa in one of the 5-star hotels.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re staying in Bansko for dinner, check out one of the welcoming local restaurants, known as <em>mehanas<\/em>, with traditional Bulgarian food and decor. A real highlight is Mahana Dedo Tase.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Bansko.jpg\" alt=\"Cool day trips from Sofia\" class=\"wp-image-19103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Bansko.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Bansko-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Bansko-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Bansko.jpg\" alt=\"Cool day trips from Sofia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-19103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Bansko.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Bansko-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Bansko-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Bansko<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Koprivshtitsa\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Koprivshtitsa\"><\/span>Koprivshtitsa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>by Kami of My Wanderlust<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mywanderlust.pl\/koprivshtitsa-bulgaria\/\">Koprivshtitsa<\/a>\u00a0is one of the easiest yet not so popular day trips from Sofia. The town, known for its exceptional architecture from the Bulgarian revival period in the 19th century, is located only 110 km away from the capital. You can easily reach it by car or by train (although you need to change for the bus to get from the train station to the town), the journey should take around 2 hours. If you choose the train, the whole journey (train + bus) should cost approximately 10 leva one-way.<\/p>\n<p>The main reason to go to Koprivshtitsa is to see the beautiful houses and visit numerous museums of famous Bulgarians. The town was the center of the Bulgarian independence movement and many of the prominent fighters came from this area. The houses in the Bulgarian revival style that host the museums are painted in vivid colors and are just the prettiest. It\u2019s worth going inside too to see the interiors. But the best thing to do in Koprivshtitsa is to wander around the town and enjoy its laid-back atmosphere and many charming corners. Be sure to climb up to the upper parts of the town too to see its picturesque location from above. Koprivshtitsa is one of the prettiest towns you can visit in Bulgaria!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Koprivshtitsa.jpg\" alt=\"Best day trips from Sofia, Bulgaria\" class=\"wp-image-19136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Koprivshtitsa.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Koprivshtitsa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Koprivshtitsa-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Koprivshtitsa.jpg\" alt=\"Best day trips from Sofia, Bulgaria\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-19136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Koprivshtitsa.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Koprivshtitsa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Koprivshtitsa-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>the houses of Koprivshtitsa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rose_Valley_of_Kazalank_and_Thracian_Tombs\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rose_Valley_of_Kazalank_and_Thracian_Tombs\"><\/span>Rose Valley of Kazalank and Thracian Tombs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the best day trips from Sofia is visiting the Rose Valley and the Thracian Tombs. These are two different attractions, but they are close enough to do it in only one day tour.<\/p>\n<p>For centuries the fragrant Bulgarian rose has been grown in the Rose Valley, located just south of the Balkan Mountains and the eastern part of the lower Sredna Gora chain to the south. Today about 85% of the rose oil production of the world comes from this valley.<\/p>\n<p>Though you need to note that the Rose Valley is a seasonal tourist attraction, you can only actually see and smell the roses between May and June, during the picking season. Outside this season, there isn\u2019t much to see, except for the Rose Museum. But, if you are traveling during these months, you should take a few hours to enjoy the lovely fields of roses.<\/p>\n<p>There are Thracian tombs spread over Bulgaria, but the most famous (and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/statesparties\/bg\">UNESCO Heritage sites<\/a>) are the Thracian Tomb of Sveshtari and the Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak. If you are visiting the Rose valley, then going to Kazalank Tomb in the same Sofia day trip makes a lovely combo.<\/p>\n<p>The Kazalank tomb is part of a vast royal\u00a0Thracian necropolis\u00a0in the\u00a0Valley of the Thracian Rulers. As UNESCO puts it, it\u2019s \u201c<em>a unique aesthetic and artistic work, a masterpiece of the Thracian creative spirit.

This means that if you have time you can include it on the same day trip from Sofia, as Veliko Tarnovo or God\u2019s eyes. There\u2019s an entry fee of 3 leva (1.5 Euros).<\/p>\n<p>There are two routes you can take \u2013 they will bring you to different parts of the waterfalls. One takes you to the upper side (much more difficult) of the falls and some caves, the other one is easier and follows the river and small lakes. It\u2019s worth to take time to do both.<\/p>\n<p>To reach the falls, you need to follow a trail through the forest and follow the river upstream through some smaller cascades that lead to the main one. The hike is short and reasonably easy, with several places to stop and look around to enjoy the landscape and even have a nice pick-nick.<\/p>\n<p>Krushuna falls somehow reminds me of the Plitvice lakes in Croatia, with several cascades, a big waterfall, and wonderful lakes.
