From Sofia: Eyes of God, Gorge Picnic & Cherepish Monastery Tour
There is a moment on this tour that no other day trip from Sofia offers. You have just visited Cherepish Monastery - a 14th-century riverside sanctuary beneath gorge cliffs, with centuries-old frescoes and a silence that Rila lost long ago. Now your guide pulls over at a viewpoint above the Iskar Gorge and unpacks a picnic prepared that morning. Home-baked banitsa. Fresh Bulgarian yogurt. Seasonal local produce. The gorge stretching out below you. The Balkan Mountains on all sides. No queue. No laminated menu. That is how your day ends. It begins at Prohodna Cave - Bulgaria's most famous natural wonder, where two enormous eye-shaped skylights flood the tunnel with light and locals have only one name for them: the Eyes of God. Your guide covers the legends, the Ottoman folk stories, and the films shot here. Cave, monastery, panoramic picnic. One gorge road. Guaranteed from 1 booking. Maximum 8 guests. Nothing else like it from Sofia.

Street Photography Walks and Talks in Sofia
Discover Sofia through the lens of a working film director. Join Martin — award-winning filmmaker, published photographer, and daily street shooter — for an intimate photography walk through the city's most alive and least-photographed streets. We start at the iconic Hotel Balkan on Sveta Nedelya Square and move through the Area of Tolerance — one of Europe's most quietly remarkable urban spaces, where a Mosque, a Synagogue, and a Cathedral stand within metres of each other. From there we enter the Women's Market (Zhenski Pazar), Sofia's oldest open-air market founded in 1878, teeming with vendors, characters, and the kind of light that turns an ordinary frame into something cinematic. We hunt the raw backstreets surrounding the market, and finish with a shared edit over coffee — included. This is not a sightseeing tour. It's a street photography walk led by someone who shoots these streets every single day. You'll leave with real images, a sharper eye, and a genuine feel for Sofia.
