The city of Velingrad, located in the Pazardzhik region, is considered the center of medical and spa tourism in Bulgaria.

Bulgarian rose gold. History, festival, museum
About 300 years ago, thousands of cuttings of oilseed roses were brought from Turkey to Bulgaria, carefully as the most expensive cargo. One fine morning a miracle happened. Thousands of rose buds bloomed with the grandeur of velvet petals, greeting the morning light, and the simple village of Kazanlak turned into a fragrant kingdom of amazing fields, into the very Valley of Roses that medieval musicians dreamed about and lovers dreamed about, which poets saw in romantic dreams.

Train Sofia - Istanbul. Tickets, cost, features
Not many people know that you can get from Bulgaria to Turkey in a comfortable train overnight. A compartment for two is equivalent to the cost of a bus ticket. The train follows the route Sofia - Istanbul (Halkali station). Some call it the "Orient Express", but this comparison is not entirely accurate, since the predecessor of the modern train (on which French general Charles de Gaulle, Queen Elizabeth of England and, of course, the literary character Hercule Poirot traveled) was abolished in 1950. At one time, the quality of the service provided and the finishing of the Orient Express train was incomparably higher, just like the cost of the ticket. Nevertheless, today everyone has the opportunity to follow the legendary route.
