SIGHTSEEING
How about a trip to the Rila Monastery? This is one of Bulgaria's foremost tourist attractions and a 1 hour and 40 minute drive away from Govedartsi. The trip is well worth it, the drive down is extremely scenic and the mountain scenery surrounding the Monastery itself is breathtaking. Minimum charge £60 (£20 per adult, £10 per child) |

Or visit the historic town of Plovdiv. There is a Roman Amphitheatre, cobbled streets in the old quarter, and many buildings displaying a range of brightly coloured architecture. The new centre of Plovdiv is bustling with activity, and will keep the thoroughly modern shopper amused too! |
Sofia, Bulgaria's capital has a mix of old and new sites to see, with the imposing Vitosha Mountain overlooking it all. The outdoor street markets dotted around the city sell a wide variety of interesting items, from old cameras - still in working order, to Russian dolls, Russian hats and beautiful jewellery. There are a number of ornate churches in the city centre too. |
