Overview

Join us on a guided trip to one of the most iconic communist monuments from the past in Eastern Europe.

We will make a short stop at the wonderful Ethnographic Complex of Damascena where you can learn more about the production of the famous Bulgarian rose oil. Last, enjoy the beautiful Shipka memorial church and the scenic sub-Balkan way on the way back to Sofia!
