Rila Monastery & Mineral Spa & Goritsa Waterfall guided tour

Discover a unique guided 3-in-1 tour: Rila Monastery, Goritsa Waterfall, and Sapareva Banya's mineral baths. Experience culture, nature, and relaxation in one guided day trip from Sofia, year-round.
Why settle for just one attraction when you can experience three completely different sides of Bulgaria in a single day? This unique guided tour from Sofia brings together the UNESCO-listed Rila Monastery, the picturesque Goritsa Waterfall, and the hot mineral baths of Sapareva Banya. Best of all, this three-in-one experience is offered throughout the year. We are the only company that offers this combination all year round, every day!

Begin with a scenic journey into the Rila Mountains to discover Rila Monastery, Bulgaria's most celebrated monastery and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will guide you inside its beautiful courtyard, where you'll admire the striking arches and colorful frescoes and discover the centuries of history and spiritual traditions behind this remarkable landmark.

Next, we travel to the village of Ovchartsi where we guide you on a refreshing walk along the Goritsa eco-trail. Follow the wooded path to a viewpoint overlooking Goritsa Waterfall, where water plunges approximately 39 meters down the rocky mountainside. It's a beautiful, natural stop that adds a completely different dimension to the day.

Finish your adventure in Sapareva Banya, famous for its naturally hot mineral waters. We will guide you around the stunning authentic old Bulgarian town of Sapareva Banya, show you the hottest geyser in the Balkans, and let you enjoy time at the mineral baths, where you can unwind in warm pools and relax after exploring the monastery and the waterfall. The contrast between the mountain air and the soothing water makes this a particularly memorable finale of an amazing day!

Culture, nature, and relaxation—three highlights of the Rila region, thoughtfully combined into one unique and memorable day tour that only we offer. The tour operates year-round, every day, which makes this even more special!
