Highlights
Join us in this adventure to feel the past! We’ll show you three different historical periods in the Bulgarian lands – The neolithic age, Late Antiquity, and the Bulgarian Revival (18-19 century). That’s why we call this tour our time machine.
In this trip, you will see how the people came and started living in the Balkan peninsula, how Christianity spread in the 4th century and how Bulgarians fought for their freedom and independence.
Come to the place where the time stops.
