Highlights

Bulgaria is home to two fascinating valleys - the Valley of the Thracian Kings, strewn with millenia-old tombs, and the Rose Valley, home to spacious rose fields. See ancient tombs, among which is the UNESCO protected Kazanlak tomb, known for its remarkable ceiling frescoes. Visit the beautiful Damascena Ethnographic Complex, where you'll learn all about the oil-giving rose and the centuries-old traditions surrounding its cultivation.

Itinerary

  • Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Not Included
    The Kazanlak Tomb (circa 4th-3rd century BC) is one of the most significant monuments of Thracian culture in Bulgaria, included in UNESCO’s list of global cultural inheritance. It was built sometime in the late 4th century BC. This tomb is known for the remarkable wall paintings covering the walls of the corridor and the dome ceiling. The murals depict scenes from the life of the Thracian ruler buried inside the tomb.
  • Tomb of Seuthes III

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Not Included
    What is known as the “Valley of the Thracian Kings” is where the rulers of the ancient Thracian tribes were buried with their horses and items they might need in the afterlife. The Golyama Kosmatka tomb near Kazanlak belonged to the Thracian Tsar Seuthes III. The ruler’s golden crown, a golden kilix (a wine glass), knee-pads and a helmet were discovered there. Visitors can delve into the tomb's narrow corridor and burial chamber and learn about the ancient Thracian burial tradition and architecture.
  • Damascena Ethnographic Complex

    1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket Not Included
    The Damascena Complex gives you the chance to experience the full range of rose products Bulgaria has to offer. You’ll learn about the techniques used to create rose oil, historically and today. You’ll have the chance to taste rose jam, rose honey, rose liquor and rose brandy. You can sample some of the variety of rose-derived essential oils. If you wish to take some of these exquisite products with you as a souvenir or as gifts, you can find all you need at the gift shop. The complex itself is part of that experience – the authentic traditional architecture and gorgeous garden, along with the delicious local cuisine served at its restaurant, make it a joy to visit and a great place to ease you into the world of Bulgarian rose oil.
