Explore Belogradchik on a Full-Day Tour from Sofia City Center

Join a guided, full-day minibus tour from Sofia and travel 180 kilometers north to the striking town of Belogradchik, where nature has sculpted the famous Belogradchik rocks-oddly shaped sandstone and conglomerate formations you’ll admire from the breathtaking viewpoint at the historic old fortress; let your imagination find figures like “the Rabbit,” “Adam and Eve,” “the Ice-Age Squirrel” and “the Rebel” among the stones, then relax on the return drive with a stop to take in the dramatic canyon scenery of the Iskar Gorge, with additional pauses at scenic viewpoints and a café/restaurant for an enjoyable afternoon drink.
