With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that Karlovo, 30 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Kurshum Mosque, Vasil Levski Museum and Sveta Bogoroditsa Church. Situated 40 miles away, Sofia is another popular option. If you stop by, don’t miss Sofia Central Mineral Baths, City Garden and Bulgarian Army Stadium.
