- Boyana Church
Boyana Village
Sofia
Comments: World heritage Site on outskirts of Sofia.
The small church is decorated with wall piantings dating
back to 13th century.
- Simeonovo Gondola
Simeonova
Sofia
Comments: Take the 6km, 25 minute gondola ride up to
the top of Mount Vitosha. As you rise over 1970m the views
of the Sofia plain are stunning on the way up, and if it
is clear even better from the top.
- The Sofia Mineral Baths
Comments: Currently being restored, but even now the
beautifully decorated exterior walls give some indication
of its potential.
- Rakovski Street and Vitosha Boulevard
Comments: For you shopaholics these a the main commercial
streets. Whilst there are a few large 'international' stores
on Vistosha, most of the shops are small, local boutiques.
Not your average Capital city shopping experience.

Plovdiv
- The Old Town
Comments: You cannot take a visit to Plovdiv and avoid
the old town. Its cobbled streets rise over the newer part
of the city.
- The Ancient Theatre
Comments: Originally built by the Romans in the 2nd
century, the once destyoyed amphitheatre has been sympathetically
restored. Take a drink at the cafe and admire the views
over the city.
- The International Plovdiv Fair
Comments: The fair takes place here twice a year.
- The Artist Market
Comments: Every day, in the square adjacent to the Mosque,
many artists gather to sell their wares. Whilst many are
of low quality, showing inumerable views of the old town,
there are one or two of quite stunning quality and originality.
