Embark on a full-day journey from Sofia to the charming and historic town of Koprivshtitsa (Копривщица), nestled along the Topolnitsa River in the heart of the Sredna Gora Mountains. Renowned as one of the key centers of the April Uprising in 1876, this picturesque town is a living museum of Bulgaria’s National Revival period, offering a captivating glimpse into the country’s rich past and enduring spirit.
Stroll through narrow cobblestone streets lined with brightly colored houses, each adorned with intricate woodcarvings and stone walls that reflect authentic 19th-century Bulgarian architecture. Visit several of the town’s 383 remarkable monuments and heritage homes, lovingly preserved or restored to their original glory. Each tells a unique story of the revolutionaries, merchants, and artisans who shaped Koprivshtitsa’s identity and legacy.
Beyond its history, Koprivshtitsa is also celebrated for its deep-rooted folk traditions and lively music festivals that bring Bulgarian culture vividly to life. During your visit, savor the flavors of the region with a traditional meal featuring fresh local ingredients — creamy cow and sheep’s milk yogurt, crisp shopska salad, tender broiled lamb, and other rustic specialties passed down through generations. Complete your culinary experience with a glass of homemade rakia (fruit brandy), the perfect toast to a day steeped in culture, heritage, and authentic Bulgarian hospitality.
