Getting around Sliven, Bulgaria independently is both easy and affordable.
I’m a fan of three excellent self-guided options that showcase this underappreciated Bulgarian gem. The ISKRA Historical Museum‘s e-guided experience ($20.40) provides a solid overview of local history.
For value and authentic flavor, try the Kulata village tour ($13.96), which includes tasty local liqueur and rose jam samples.
The Museum of Roses tour ($17.18) stands out for its focus on Bulgaria’s famous rose-growing heritage.
All tours offer wheelchair access and flexible booking terms.
