The day trip to Boyana Church and Rila Monastery is a must do. Apart from seeing the two UNESCO sites we have gone through valleys and beautiful landscapes. I have learnt a lot more for Bulgaria from ancient times to nowadays thanks to our well experienced tour guide. And the five types of wine we tasted were amazingly good.
