Stara Zagora Province Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

People are less expensive and cheaper. Bulgarian self-driving Raiders How much does it cost to go to Europe? 20,000? 30,000? Come here, 8000 is enough! People with less beauty, Bulgaria will never let you down! Cost: We stayed in Bulgaria for 11 days in total, except for air tickets (everyone flies from different places, Shanghai is 5000), all other expenses (accommodation, car rental, fueling, eating, tickets, shopping) Count) per capita 3000! That's right, 3000 per capita! Accommodation is the cheapest, and the three of us booked a two-bedroom, one-bedroom hotel every day. The facilities are complete and comfortable, and the average price is less than 300 nights! Eating and selling food is very cheap, and the price of China's third-tier cities is similar. The car is slightly more expensive, but the total is really cheap to get a finger, so many Southeast Asian countries do not have such low consumption! One word: value! Self-driving route: Sophia ~ Shipka (UFO monument) ~ Veliko Tarnovo ~ Varna ~ Nesebar ~ Burgas ~ Sozopol ~ Plovdiv ~ Lira ~ Sophia count A very deep tour of the trip, the Bulgarian country is not small, the first time I feel that 11 days in Bulgaria will be a little waste, it turns out that there are too many fun places, every place feels that time is not enough, the whole even feels a bit rushed Many places because too beautiful and too leisurely hate can not stay here for a month! The most recommended place: UFO Monument I am here for this Bulgaria, seeing more shocked! Although I can't go in now, it's still worth seeing! (Car followed by navigation can be opened to the monument, we opened the wrong direction so climbed a hill) Veliko Tarnovo the whole city is very charming, the ancient city wife is too good to see, recommended two days! Nesebar, the ancient city is a small island, really beautiful, everywhere beautiful, want to buy a house here for a lifetime! Sozopol Super recommended one attraction: the Castle of Ravadinovo We mistakenly hit a castle, amazing to fly, there are many holes to explore, and attractions are free! Really take a big shot! Plovdiv Old Town can go shopping for a day! There is also a mountain attraction called the Alyosha Monument, which overlooks the entire Plovdiv in 360 degrees and is spectacular! Automobile and travel tips: Bulgarian mountain roads are more, it is recommended to rent a little car! The rules of driving are similar to those of China, paying attention to polite pedestrians! Passengers in the car must wear seat belts even if they are sitting in the back row! Be sure to pay attention to the speed on the highway. The road is too good and too easy to get 140 yards! There is labor in refueling, and the fuel tank cover on the car will generally write which oil to add, telling the staff that "full" is full! Most places can be swiped, with a good visa or MasterCard credit card, UnionPay can't! Because the consumption is cheap, you can change some cash! With the euro in the past, the airport has a window to change money! Bulgarian people's English is not very popular, many young people will say that older people are... but relying on body language does not affect communication!

[Face travel] brushing the ticket circle of the super-burning niche ~ Bulgarian UFO monument! Two years ago, because of a photo of the UFO monument, I planted grass in Bulgaria. I have been thinking about it. Now I can finally stand in front of it, and I can still take my brother, and I just want to tears! Approximately three hours drive from Sofia, the car can be driven directly to the UFO monument! Please navigation: Buzludzha Monument Well, we stopped the car with the locals at another monument below. The locals said they could only climb up, so... climbed up and found that the car could be driven from the other side! Before you can climb the tunnel into the UFO, this year the tunnel was blocked for security reasons. A few days ago, I saw online that there is security, charging 50 RMB for one person to open the door for everyone to enter! And we just turned over there and didn't see the shadow of the security guard... Well, this is a pity!

The Ice Peak Monument was once the headquarters of the Bulgarian Communist Party and is located on the top of the Buzludzha in the middle of the Balkan Mountains. Construction began in 1974, and huge human and material resources were invested, and more than 15 were removed with TNT explosives.

At the moment, it was near evening, the sunset outside was very beautiful, and the big fire burned the clouds. I quickly went downstairs and climbed out to take pictures. When I got to the hole, the American couple was still there. I wondered if I wanted to see that I was alive and went in. I climbed out and patted the gray on the body and showed them the photos in the camera. Looking at the playback photos, the American sisters eyes came out and said to me, Bruce lee!, I looked at her boyfriends bad. The gaze waved his finger at the hair I tied the wire "no, call me Daniel Wu!". Too lazy to care that they can't go down. I took a tripod and took a breath from dusk. At 1 o'clock in the middle of the moon, the moon rises, even the dinner is not eaten. The flying saucer under the clouds and the Milky Way is even more mysterious and shocking. Love this place

Shipka Memorial Church (the Russian church)🌹

The Russian Church in Shipka is located in the upper end of the town of Shipka, a picturesque little town cuddled in the southern slopes of Stara Planina. It is also near Kazanlak - a town known for its roses. The temple was officially opened on September 28, 1902, in the presence of Russian Army generals and many honourable guests. The opening and consecration of the Shipka Memorial Church coincided with the 25-year anniversary of the Battles of Shipka Pass. In 1970, the temple was proclaimed a national monument of culture. The church's bell tower reaches a height of 53 m and its bells, the heaviest of which weighs 12 tons, were cast from the cartridges that were collected after the battles. In the temple itself, the names of the Russian regiments and Bulgarian volunteers are inscribed on 34 marble plates. The remains of the perished are laid in 17 stone sarcophagi in the church's crypt. #tripblazers #mytripvlog #2023travelwish

The #shipka church is located right in the mountain pass of Shipka between the southern and northern #bulgaria and it is famous attraction. It is 10km away from the Thracian thombs of Kazanlak and is also in the way to Gabrovo and Veliko Tarnovo, so if you travel between these destinations you will definitely pass through the church. The place also offers an authentical souvenir market (3rd picture) and nice view from the hill. #happynewyear
