With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Sofia, 30 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Sofia Central Mineral Baths, City Garden and Bulgarian Army Stadium. Koprivshtitsa is another popular option. It’s 45 miles away and home to an array of intriguing things to see and do. Lyuben Karavelov Museum, Kableshkov House and Oslekov House are just the start.
