There are many things to see in Bulgaria, from monumental Soviet-looking cities to charming villages representing the Bulgarian National Renaissance style. The country is also famous for its numerous archaeological sites, a source of knowledge to understand the history of a country with so many peoples, as the Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans passed through its territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Passporter we will help you prepare your trip to Bulgaria so that you don&#8217;t miss a single detail. How much time do you have? a week? a month? no problem! In this post you will find several must-see places that you should include in your itinerary. We also give you some tips to move around the country without problems and we discuss its gastronomy.

Sofia, the capital city of Bulgaria<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sofia may not be one of the most prestigious European cities, however, it is worth at least one day. Besides, if you travel to Bulgaria you will most likely fly to the capital, so it is a good option to make the most of your time. The city is famous for the monumental buildings of communist style, one of the most impressive being the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Its frescos are considered a World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another obligatory stop is the Banya Bashi mosque, built in the 16th century and the result of the passage of the Turkish people. We also recommend you stop by the Boyana Church, the Hagia Sophia Basilica and the Russian Church. There are numerous museums in the city such as the archaeological, regional history and communist art museums. Sofia is an ideal weekend destination, although you can also spend more time visiting the city and the surrounding area. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"402\" data-attachment-id=\"29428\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/bulgaria\/things-to-do-bulgaria\/attachment\/things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-bulgaria-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria-1.jpeg?fit=1024%2C402&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,402\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria-1.jpeg?fit=300%2C118&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria-1.jpeg?fit=1024%2C402&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria-1.jpeg?resize=1024%2C402&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"trip to Bulgaria\" class=\"wp-image-29428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria-1.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria-1.jpeg?resize=300%2C118&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria-1.jpeg?resize=768%2C302&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sofia Cathedral @Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Varna-the-maritime-capital-of-Bulgaria\"><\/span>2. Varna, the maritime capital of Bulgaria<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Varna is known as the maritime capital of Bulgaria as it is one of the most famous cities in the country with the greatest historical and cultural heritage. This beautiful city stretching along the Black Sea coast is full of parks, fountains and beautiful buildings in the old town. It also has a beach. However, the most famous things to see in Varna are the Odessos Thermal Baths and the archaeological sites nearby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can visit Varna in one day. We recommend you to stroll around its small historic quarter and Primorski Park, the largest sea garden in Bulgaria. There are also a couple of interesting museums such as the archaeological museum and the naval museum. In the surroundings, less than 1h by car you can reach the Devnenskite Izbori springs, the Ovech fortress and the Aladzh\u00e1 monastery. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"471\" data-attachment-id=\"29429\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/bulgaria\/things-to-do-bulgaria\/attachment\/things-to-see-on-a-trip-to-bulgaria\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Things-to-see-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria.jpeg?fit=1024%2C471&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,471\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Things-to-see-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Things-to-see-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria.jpeg?fit=300%2C138&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Things-to-see-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria.jpeg?fit=1024%2C471&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Things-to-see-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria.jpeg?resize=1024%2C471&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"travel  to Bulgaria\" class=\"wp-image-29429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Things-to-see-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Things-to-see-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria.jpeg?resize=300%2C138&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Things-to-see-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria.jpeg?resize=768%2C353&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sunset in Varna @pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Valley-of-the-Roses\"><\/span>3. Valley of the Roses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Near Plovdiv, at the foot of the Balkan Mountains is the Valley of Roses, one of the most spectacular sites to see in Bulgaria. These are extensions of rose cultivation that bloom in spring and are used to extract its oil, one of the most expensive in the world. During the rest of the year you can also visit (although it loses a little grace) and take a tour of the distilleries, where they will explain the whole process of oil extraction. The first weekend of June is the Rose Festival, which celebrates the harvest with parades, processions, folkloric exhibitions and much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Plovdiv\"><\/span>4. Plovdiv<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Plovdiv is the second largest city to see in Bulgaria and a must stop on your travel itinerary. The most characteristic features are the colorful 19th century Renaissance style houses located in the historic center. They coexist in harmony with the modernity of the city, and the best thing is that you can visit it on foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many other cities in Bulgaria, Plovdiv has archaeological sites and world-famous ruins such as the Roman theater or Neber Tepe. It&#8217;s a complex where there are still remains of the Thracian and Roman peoples. It is also worth visiting the National Ethnographic Museum, even if you don&#8217;t go inside, as its courtyard and fa\u00e7ade are impressive, a perfect example of the Bulgarian National Revival.

Tryavna and the Bulgarian National Revival<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tryavna&nbsp;is a small town out of a fairy tale for its beautiful and colorful low houses of the 17th century, typical of the Bulgarian National Renaissance style. But beyond the beautiful corners that hide the streets of the city, there you can visit the museum of wood carvings and the Daskalova House, famous throughout the country for its curious mandera roofs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Tryavna there is an Orthodox church built in the 19th century over the previous one, which had been destroyed by the Turks. It is worth entering to see its iconostasis, one of the most famous in Bulgaria along with that of the Rila monastery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Belogradchik-Fortress\"><\/span>6. Belogradchik Fortress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Belograchik Fortress is one of the most amazing places to visit in Bulgaria and it will transport you to a world of fantasy. Surrounding the building you will see the Belogradchik Rocks, curious rock formations that reach up to 200m in height and extend 90km square along the foothills of the Balkan Mountains. Each formation has a completely different shape, which is why many of them have such names as bear, mushroom&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the middle of a legendary landscape is the fortress that dates back to the Roman Empire and occupies 10,210 square meters of extension. The fortress always had a defensive function and passed from Roman to Byzantine control, and then to Bulgarian control, which further strengthened it to defend against Ottoman attacks. The fortress is open daily from 9:00h to 18:00h and the entrance fee is 3,07\u20ac. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1

Arbanasi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Arnabasi is an incredible town famous for the mixture of cultures reflected in the facades of each building. The town was built on the occasion of the wedding of a Bulgarian tsar and a Greek princess, who had new houses built to accommodate the guests. The new buildings dating from the 17th century are both Greek and Bulgarian in style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see the village in a morning. And we recommend you to enter the Konstantzaliev period house, visit the church without a bell tower and flattened plan, and walk the streets enjoying the architectural spectacle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8-Rila-Monastery-the-most-famous-monastery-in-Bulgaria\"><\/span>8. Rila Monastery, the most famous monastery in Bulgaria<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rila Monastery, a Unesco World Heritage Site, is one of the reasons why Bulgaria is worth visiting. In the country there are many more Orthodox monasteries located in natural enclaves with spectacular views as is the case of Rila, which is located between mountains where you can only access by narrow roads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally the monastery was 4km from the present one, located in a small cave that can still be visited. The present monastery was built in the 14th century and later rebuilt in the 17th century after its destruction despite all the conquering peoples&#8217; efforts to keep it standing. The Ottomans portegnated it and during the communist era it was kept as a museum until monastic activities were reinstated. The complex is open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and admission is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"670\" data-attachment-id=\"29434\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/bulgaria\/things-to-do-bulgaria\/attachment\/rila-monastery-things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-bulgaria\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Rila-monastery-Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria.jpeg?fit=1024%2C670&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,670\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Rila-monastery-Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Rila-monastery-Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria.jpeg?fit=300%2C196&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Rila-monastery-Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria.jpeg?fit=1024%2C670&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Rila-monastery-Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria.jpeg?resize=1024%2C670&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"things to do on trip to Bulgaria\" class=\"wp-image-29434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Rila-monastery-Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Rila-monastery-Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria.jpeg?resize=300%2C196&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Rila-monastery-Things-to-see-and-do-on-a-trip-to-Bulgaria.jpeg?resize=768%2C503&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rila monastery @Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9-Veliko-Tarnovo-the-medieval-town-in-Bulgaria\"><\/span>9.

But that&#8217;s not all, the city is also famous for the beauty of its surroundings, as it was founded between mountains following the curve of the Yantra River. It is built on 3 hills, and we can assure you that you will feel at the end of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the city&#8217;s main sights is Tsavarets Castle, home to tsars during the Second Bulgarian Empire. Admission is 3\u20ac and it is open from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm. You can&#8217;t miss the historical center and its houses of more than 200 years old, and the museums of regional history and archeology. There is also a park called &#8220;Mini Bulgaria&#8221;, ideal to go with children. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-attachment-id=\"29435\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/bulgaria\/things-to-do-bulgaria\/attachment\/trip-to-veliko-tarnovo-1-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/trip-to-Veliko-Tarnovo-1-1.jpeg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,576\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"trip-to-Veliko-Tarnovo-1-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/trip-to-Veliko-Tarnovo-1-1.jpeg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/trip-to-Veliko-Tarnovo-1-1.jpeg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/trip-to-Veliko-Tarnovo-1-1.jpeg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"things to do on trip to Bulgaria\" class=\"wp-image-29435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/trip-to-Veliko-Tarnovo-1-1.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/trip-to-Veliko-Tarnovo-1-1.jpeg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/trip-to-Veliko-Tarnovo-1-1.jpeg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Veliko Tarnovo fortress @pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gastronomy-of-Bulgaria\"><\/span>Gastronomy of Bulgaria<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bulgarian cuisine is hearty with lightly spiced meat and vegetable dishes.
