Rila Monastery Day Tour

Rila Monastery Day Tour is a must-do tour if you visit Sofia and have a free day for touring.

The Rila monastery is the oldest and the most visited Bulgaria cloister. It was founded in the 10th century and until today it is one of the most important nests of the Bulgarian nationality and spirituality. It played an important role of a center of education, where monks wrote thousands of books and manuscripts.
