Discover the Buzludzha Monument and the Valley of the Roses on a 12-hour tour from Sofia with scenic landscapes, rich history, and expert-guided sightseeing.
Join us on a guided trip to one of the most iconic communist monuments from the past in Eastern Europe. The UFO-like abandoned building is located on top of Buzludzha Peak in the Central Balkan mountains.
Today an empty structure stripped of its initial purposes, it has gained many admirers and popularity worldwide and is considered a remarkable representation of this part of history.
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. The last stop will be at the Shipka memorial church.
What to expect
The tour starts at 7:00 AM at the back of the Alexander Nevski Cathedral. The transfer time is about 3.5 hours per direction and the tour is about 11 hours long.
First, we will stop at the Complex of Damascena around 10:30. We will arrive at the Buzludzha monument around 13:30. Keep in mind that the Buzludzha monument is currently not open for visitors for safety reasons and cannot be seen from the inside.
However, the views from the outside are well worth the time. The monument is atop the Buzludzha peak in the Balkan mountains (1.441m) so make sure you bring a jacket and comfortable shoes.
The last stop will be at the Shipka memorial church. We leave for Sofia at around 16:00 and are back at the Alexander Nevski Cathedral around 19:30.
