Description
Tour Sofia by private Mercedes-Benz van, visiting UNESCO-listed Boyana Church and Dragalevtsi Monastery. View the city from Kopitoto, then stop at a traditional Bulgarian restaurant.
Begin your day with a visit to the National History Museum, one of the richest and most impressive museums in the Balkans. Learn about Bulgaria’s fascinating past, from ancient Thracian civilization to medieval empires, royal collections, and centuries of national heritage preserved under one roof.
Next, head to Boyana Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled at the foot of Vitosha Mountain. Admire the extraordinary frescoes and soak in the deeply spiritual atmosphere of this medieval masterpiece.
Continue to Kopitoto, Sofia’s most spectacular panoramic viewpoint. From this elevated mountain terrace, enjoy a breathtaking bird’s-eye view over the entire capital, stretching across endless city horizons framed by the surrounding mountains.
Then, visit Dragalevtsi Monastery, a hidden gem surrounded by forest calm and mountain silence. Discover a softer, more spiritual dimension of Sofia, far removed from the urban rhythm below.
To complete your day, enjoy a traditional Bulgarian lunch or early dinner in one of Sofia’s most atmospheric and beloved traditional settings. Savor homemade specialties, charcoal-grilled meats, fresh seasonal salads, warm oven-baked bread, and long-preserved regional recipes.
