This trip is ideal for foreign tourists who want to get to know the nature, history and spiritual heritage around the capital of Bulgaria in a short time. The route combines the Vitosha Mountain with parts of the Sofia Holy Mount – a wreath of medieval monasteries, located around Sofia and often called the “little Athos”. It is a unique combination, with which you will visit four special places: the Boyana church – UNESCO heritage site – as well as the three most significant monasteries from the Sofia Holy Mount: Dragalevsky, Germansky and Kremikovsky! The Sofia Holy Mount, also known as “Sredetska Mala Holy Mount”, is a medieval ensemble comprising 14 monasteries, along with hermitages and chapels. This complex flourished around Sofia and its surrounding mountains during the era of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom, from 1185 to 1417. This excursion offers a balanced experience – nature, culture and spirituality – just a step away from the modern European capital.

On September 9th, 1944, the Red Army entered Bulgaria, marking the beginning of a 45-year era during which the country was part of the Eastern Bloc.

On our Socialist Heritage Tour, we will explore how Socialism reshaped Plovdiv — from monumental buildings and hidden symbols to personal stories of conformity, resistance, and quiet rebellion. This is not a textbook lecture, but a walk through places where history was lived, questioned, and remembered. Join us for an insider’s look at a period that continues to shape the city and its people today.
