A few tips from a local

If you’re planning to book a landmark tour in Bulgaria, here’s a nugget of advice: try a walking tour around Sofia early in your trip. It’ll ground you in the city’s history and help you spot details others miss later on. Also, in towns like Veliko Tarnovo, don’t just stick to the main fortress; ask your guide about nearby hidden chapels or the old artisan neighborhoods.

I once stumbled upon a small local festival near the Rila Monastery after a landmark tour, which turned out to be a highlight. So keep your schedule a bit flexible – some of the best moments happen when you’re open to a quick detour or recommendation.
