Discover the heart of Bulgaria on a full-day tour to Kazanlak, the center of the Valley of Roses and the Valley of the Thracian Kings. Kazanlak’s history dates back to the Neolithic era, with Thracian ruler Seuthes III leaving his mark during the Hellenistic period. The nearby Thracian city of Seuthopolis was uncovered during the construction of the Koprinka Reservoir. Today, Kazanlak is famous worldwide for its rose oil production, particularly from the Rosa Damascena, making it one of the few places on Earth where this unique rose thrives.

Start your tour at 8:30 AM from Sofia and enjoy a scenic 3-hour drive through the Balkan range. Your first stop is the Shipka Memorial Church, built in 17th-century Russian style to honor Russian and Bulgarian victims of the liberation from Ottoman rule in 1878. Continue to Goliama Kosmatka, the tomb of Seuthes III, before a quick lunch at a nearby restaurant.

In Kazanlak, visit the UNESCO-listed Thracian tomb, dating back to the 4th century B.C., famous for its vivid murals depicting horses and the tender gesture of a seated couple holding wrists in farewell. On the return journey, stop at a local rose garden and distillery to see how rose essence is extracted and purchase rose-scented souvenirs. Return to Sofia around 6:30 PM. This is a fast-paced tour, covering history, culture, and the world-famous roses of Bulgaria.
