If you’re searching for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Situated 20 miles away, Plovdiv is worth hopping in the car for. Among the first stops you make here should be Mall Plovdiv, Plovdiv Amphitheatre and Ethnographic Museum. The locals are also likely to point you toward Smolyan, 35 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Pamporovo Ski Resort. (But we’d also highly recommend Pamporovo Ski Resort and FunPark Pamporovo.)
