Things to do in Sofia

Boyana Church, built in the 13th century. The exterior looks nothing special, and I thought it was a bit unworthy to pay extra, but entering the church is a different world. The staff only let no more than ten tourists in at a time, and then closed the door, which was very mysterious. Inside was a very well-preserved and bright Orthodox mural. Unfortunately, taking photos is not allowed in the monuments, even with mobile phones. The second attraction is the Rila Monastery, which ranks first in Bulgaria as a world cultural heritage. The entire monastery consists of several floors and an Orthodox church. The murals of the latter are very wonderful, consisting of comic strips of Doge telling the history of the Orthodox Church. Whether it is God, man or devil in the painting, they are all vivid and extremely realistic. Although I have never seen God and 👿, I believe that the image should be like this. The three-story building surrounding the church has an exterior wall designed with a color scheme similar to that of a zebra. Even if similar color combinations have been seen in other places, they are definitely not as imposing as here. Being in it is like countless zebras 🦓 running around us.

Our visit to Rila and Boyana was enjoyable. our guide Diana was very helpful and cheerful. she shared lot of information as well as helped clear our doubts. Everything was easy and Hassle free. thanks

Our guide Yori is very professional by giving us a detail history of Rila Monastery and will give us time to explore ourselves. He's also good at leading a group of people who are with different physical fitness to hike for the Seven Rila Lakes though we can only visited 5 of them due to various physical fitness and time control. The tour is worth with money.

Plovdiv, Bulgaria's second largest city, is mainly about the architecture of the ancient city. The orange-red and grass-green exterior walls that are rarely seen in normal times appear here. There is also a large theater and underground stadium from the Roman Empire period, which are the highlights of today's journey.

an excellent tour, great guide with alot of patience, good amount of information and very well paced both free time in both areas. would definitely recommend!
