Buzludzha Monument

Rising dramatically from the Stara Planina mountains, the Buzludzha Monument is one of the most striking and mysterious landmarks in Bulgaria. Built in the 1970s as a tribute to the Bulgarian socialist movement, its unique UFO-like design and mountaintop location offer breathtaking panoramic views. Though abandoned, the monument remains a powerful symbol of the country's complex history and attracts visitors from around the world with its surreal atmosphere and photogenic presence.

Confusing tour description and unprofessional guide

The description of the activity said that it was either half a day or a full day, but what was included in each was very confusing. We were introduced to a guide, who told us that he was replacing a friend and that he hadn't been to the places we were visiting for two years. He sent us information about the places via cell phone, and we got out of the car and visited them, while he stayed in the car at both places we visited. It was very cold, which should have been mentioned in the description so that we could have brought warm clothes. The driving was quite reckless, although we have seen that this is the case in most of the country.
