Overview

Explore the world famous BULGARIAN UFO - the Buzludzha monument.

This is a half-day tour to Buzludzha and Shipka. You get picked from Veliko Tarnovo and we head to Buzludzha monument, which is located in Stara Planina (less than a 100km away from Tarnovo).

At the Buzludzha monument, you won't be able to get inside, as it is forbidden by the government, but you will get to sneak peak inside and explore it from as close as possible. You get more than a 30 minutes rest time at the monument, which you can use freely.
At the Shipka Monument, you'll be able to explore both the area and the monument itself freely, as it is open to the public. You’ll have around 20 minutes to walk around the monument, take in the stunning panoramic views, and feel the deep historical significance of this site.

In addition, you can add extra time to your tour, so you could visit more landmarks on the way.

We will give you the opportunity to learn the maximum about the monument and it's cultural spirit.
