Karlovo and Sopot are two beautiful mountain towns that will let you enjoy a peaceful vacation and will provide you with sufficient number of cultural tourism options.
For a start, you can explore the memorial houses dedicated to revolutionary Vasil Levski and to writer Ivan Vazov.
Explore the old atmosphere that beautiful revival-period houses in Karlovo create. You can also relax in the small park created around the Vasil Levski monument. Another idea is to enjoy a cup of coffee in one of the many cafés.
Sopot on the other hand is known for its paragliding options. If you are into extreme tourism than make sure to visit the town and to get in touch with the paragliding club there. Flights with instructors are organized each weekend but it would be best to call in advance.
The convent and Sopot’s St. Spas Monastery are worth the exploration. Both of these places appear in Vazov’s most popular writings. Sopot is the place where Vazov’s favorite inspiration place is situated.
Both towns have picturesque traditional restaurants, where you can try various tasty dishes.
