You’ll want to explore nearby Blagoevgrad. What’s 25 miles when you have a set of wheels? The road trip there is half the fun! Bachinovo Park, Church Vavedenie Bogorodichno and Church of Vavedenie Presvetiya Bogoroditsi alone justify the drive out here. Located 30 miles away, Sofia is another popular destination. If you visit, be sure to check out Sofia Central Mineral Baths, City Garden and Bulgarian Army Stadium.
