Hello my TA friends, I would like to know many days would you give for visiting the follow sites: Veliko Tarnovo, Plovdiv, Sofia and Rila Monastery? How would you arrange these visits, considering I will be coming from Romania (Bucharest) and then going to Belgrade, Serbia...

Hpe you can help me, thank you very much!

I forgot to add that I will be doing this part by public transport (trains, buses) and definitely not by car.

Hi!

All mention places are interesting and worth a visit! I would add also Koprivshtica (small picturesque town with nice architecture). Spend 2-3 days in V. Turnovo (you may visit Dryanovo Monastery and the cave nearby, Etara - ethnografic complex, Sokolski Monastery, Arabanasi). Definitely there are tour agencies in V. Turnovo where you could arrange the transport!

For the rest of your journey I woud advise you to stay in Sofia and make day trips to Rila Monastery, Plovdiv and Koprivshtica or if you have sufficient time you may spend 1-2 nights in the mention places. The infrastructure is good and there is reliable public transport from Sofia.

Other beautiful places are Rhodope mountain, Ruse, the sea side but they are not that close to Sofia...

Habe a great time in Bulgaria

Oh, thank you very very much doodko, I will certainly take a look at those destinations. Maybe I can extend my stay in Blgaria and cover everything!

Do you think it would be possible to do a day trip from Sofia to Veliko Tarnovo, or it would be better to see first Veliko and thencontinue to Sofia?

Much better is to stay 2-3 days in Veliko Turnovo and travel around... If you enter Bulgaria from Ruse, take some time for exploring Ruse (a very nice city) and the area.

It could be interesting!
