RILA MONASTERY GUIDED DAY TOUR

Overview

The Rila Monastery is one of Bulgaria’s symbols and a popular tourist destination. It’s included in the List of World Heritage of UNESCO. Meet your driver at Ski & Board Traventuria – Bansko and board the air-conditioned vehicle to travel towards Rila Mountains. Mind that you will be connected to our standard guided tour to Rila Monastery coming from Sofia! You will join the main tour bus (and guide) in Kocherinovo, which you will reach within 1hr relaxed drive amidst the beautiful Bulgarian landscape. Explore the complex inside and out with our qualified Еnglish-speaking guide. Admire its balconies and discover unique frescoes by one of the most famous painters of the Bulgarian National Revival period. See the gilded iconostasis and enjoy the fabulous mountain views. After the guided visit, enjoy some free time for lunch or further exploration by yourself. Once the scheduled program is finished, you will be transferred back to Kocherinovo where the driver will wait for you and you will head to Bansko. The tour official finish is back at the meeting point – our ski and board shop.
