In the small Bulgarian city of Sliven, two excellent hands-on experiences stand out. Both workshops offer easy booking and generous cancellation policies, making them risk-free choices for travelers.
The Online Bulgarian Cooking Class (1.5 hours) is particularly good, teaching authentic dishes like Tarator soup and traditional grilled meats in a welcoming virtual setting. The Private Painting Workshop (2 hours) gives you quality one-on-one instruction while creating art on bottles or clocks – perfect for creative travelers.
I especially appreciate both activities for their accessibility features and practical approach to Bulgarian culture. Both welcome wheelchairs, strollers, and service animals.
These carefully selected tours showcase the best of Sliven’s local expertise.
