With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Stara Zagora, 55 miles away, has to offer. Regional Museum of History ought to be toward the top of your list here. Ruins of Augusta Traiana and Park are excellent attractions too. Don’t skip Smolyan either! Just 60 miles away, Pamporovo Ski Resort, Pamporovo Ski Resort and FunPark Pamporovo are must-sees here.
