What To Expect
Zemen Monastery
Your private guide will pick you up from your hotel or your address in Sofia at 10:30 in the morning. From there, enjoy a comfortable journey to the Zemen Monastery, located about 70 km southwest of Sofia. The traveling time to Zemen Monastery will be around 1 hour and 30 minutes, and your stay there will be an additional 1 hour. The Zemen Monastery is a serene 11th-century complex nestled in the picturesque Zemen Gorge and is famous for its unique architectural style and stunning frescoes that reflect the art of the First Bulgarian Empire. During your visit, your guide will share fascinating stories and historical insights about this peaceful spiritual retreat.
Sofia History Museum
After exploring Zemen Monastery, return to Sofia for the next highlight: National Museum of History, one of the largest history museums in the Balkans. Located in a former residence of the communist regime, the museum showcases over 650,000 artifacts, including Thracian treasures, medieval relics, and exhibits from Bulgaria’s communist era. Your private guide will take you on an engaging 1 hour long tour of the museum.

5.00Very well organised trip to 2 fantastic places that we couldn’t do on our own. The guides were excellent gave enough information in a nice professional way; Fillip was great and we had Anislava for the English speaking group and he was excellent. He did everything he could do to make the visit interesting and informative. The driver too was excellent in his approach to the narrow curvy roads I am glad we took this trip
