Rila Monastery: Byzantine Frescoes & Balkan Mountain Views
★4.6(3192)
Don't bother with the overpriced guided shuttles if you have a rental car; just drive up early to beat the Sofia tour buses. Spend two hours walking the arcaded balconies and staring at the insane detail in the Hrelyo Tower frescoes. Skip the museum if you're bored by old textiles. Instead, hike up to the St. Ivan cave for the real scenery. Grab a piece of warm mekitsa from the local bakery before heading back.
