Things To Do

Veliko Tarnovo

Pam's college town. Know for beautiful sceneries, castles and a cozy old town.

Buzludzha Monument

Дамасцена/Damascena/Villa Valley of Roses / Вила Долината на розите

Damascena complex is a beautiful complex full of roses and wild animals. The peak to go there is during the rose festival in May-June however it is worth visiting even in October. There is also a restaurant and little shops where you can find rose oil and rose products.

Museum of the Rose

The rose museum is located in a park in Kazanlak. It is a small museum showing the history of our rose festival. Also another great place to find rose products.

Sofia

Sofia is the capital of Bulgaria and it has a lot to offer. We have limited time there but still will be able to enjoy it. For those of you who want to spend some time on your own, I recommend the Free Sofia Sightseeing Tour- you will be able to see the main attractions downtown and the tour is in English. At the end all you need to do is leave a tip for the tour guides. There is a lot of history and churches downtown that are worth visiting.

Shipka

The Shipka Monument (Паметник на Шипка), is а symbol of modern Bulgaria and the liberation of Bulgaria. The monument is the heart of the Shipka National Park-Museum and is located on Shipka Peak in the Balkan Mountains. It is 30 minutesaway from Kazanlak.
