You arrive in Sofia at the cathedral square, air bright with mountain promises, and the city slips behind as the van climbs toward Vitosha. On day one the path to Kamen Del opens a broad view over Sofia; later, Boyana Falls hisses down rock faces and Boyana Church offers centuries of frescoed quiet. The itinerary moves fast—Plovdiv’s Roman theater and Old Town, then the chairlift to the 7 Rila Lakes where glacial basins sit like polished bowls between 2,100–2,500 m.
