BULGARIA
Bulgaria's best days out.
The 6 best museums tours in Bulgaria. What each one involves, who runs it, and what you will pay.
A 400 m² hands-on Museum of Illusions in Sofia with photo moments, helpful staff, and about 1–2 hours of eye-bending fun.
“Very interesting and fun 😎 I recommend this musseum. It's not only for kids it's also for your inner child 💓”
A 1-hour, English-friendly Museum of Illusions ticket in Veliko Tarnovo with hands-on light, shadow, and photo moments.
“The Museum of Illusions is a fun and unique place to visit. Very interactive, interesting and perfect for photos. A great activity for friends and families. Totally worth it and highly recommended!”
See Bulgaria’s socialist-art park and the abandoned Buzludzha Monument on a guided day trip from Sofia with hotel pickup and entrance included.
“The monuments were definitely worth seeing. It was a Monday and the museum was closed, so we stopped by the Thracian tombs instead.”
A 2-hour English-guided Sofia art and icon tour with key museum stops, cathedral time, and a complimentary alcoholic drink for $56.60.
“Excellent tour with Yoannna who was able to provide a very informed commentary about the art we were viewing.”
Self-guided Varna Archaeological Museum ticket with pre-booked entry and English materials, covering Hellenistic, Roman and medieval finds.
“This was a total rip off. I spent $11.50 for admission instead of a few lev. They gave me nothing & told me to read the English on the walls. You should be ashamed of yourselves for selling this”
Sofia in half a day. Visit the National History Museum, UNESCO Boyana Church, and a guided landmark loop ending near Vitosha Street.
“Excellent guide, showed us parts of Sofia we would have missed. He was very knowledgeable about Sofia and Bulgaria history, and very educated in his explanations.”
