If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we’ve got some ideas. Situated 35 miles away, Smolyan is worth the drive. Pamporovo Ski Resort, Pamporovo Ski Resort and FunPark Pamporovo alone justify the drive out here. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Plovdiv, 55 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Mall Plovdiv. (But we’d also recommend Plovdiv Amphitheatre and Ethnographic Museum.)
