With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Sofia, 40 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Sofia Central Mineral Baths, City Garden and Bulgarian Army Stadium. Located 45 miles away, Pleven is another popular tourist destination. If you visit, don’t miss Pleven Panorama, Pleven Regional Historical Museum and Pleven Epopee 1877.
