Overview

Explore ancient Bulgaria on this private 8-day guided tour through the world of the Thracians, one of Europe’s most mysterious and powerful ancient civilizations. Visit more UNESCO World Heritage Sites in a single tour than almost any other Bulgaria itinerary on Viator.
From Sofia, travel to Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria’s medieval royal capital, before diving deep into Thracian history at the UNESCO listed Tomb of Sveshtari, the extraordinary Kazanlak Thracian Tomb (one of the best preserved ancient burial sites in Europe), and the vast Perperikon cliff sanctuary, a sacred city carved entirely from rock.
En route, discover Starosel, home to Bulgaria’s largest Thracian cult complex, before arriving in Plovdiv, one of Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited cities. End your journey with a visit to the iconic Rila Monastery, Bulgaria’s most visited UNESCO site, before returning to Sofia.
