You can travel from ancient cities and Orthodox monasteries to mountains and small villages without having to cover great distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my case, I traveled in winter and without much time to be honest, so I could only dedicate those days to exploring two cities, Sofia and Plovdiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, in this post I not only tell you about the itinerary I followed, but I also add some stops that might be useful if you are traveling around the country with a little more time or at another time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter
