Stara Zagora Tour

A tour of Stara Zagora is a trip to a city with an ancient history. It is a chance to learn a lot and have a great time. During the excursion you visit landmarks and archaeological sites and discover not only cultural but also historical Bulgaria.

Stara Zagora: why go there?

Why do travellers often book a tour to Stara Zagora? The city is an important cultural and historical centre that attracts visitors with its blend of ancient heritage and calm. It is located in central Bulgaria, and one of its other names is Augusta Traiana.

What makes the city special is that it is not a resort. Here visitors see a completely different side of the country. Stara Zagora in one day is a good option for travellers who want to discover a new place and add variety to their holiday. The tour combines history, archaeology and architecture with time in nature.

Stara Zagora: what to see?

Ancient Forum of Augusta Traiana

A trip to Stara Zagora from Sunny Beach or Burgas is one you will not forget. The most important landmark is the ancient forum of Augusta Traiana, which recalls the times of the Roman Empire. This was once the centre of cultural and public life. Ulpia Augusta Traiana was founded on the site of an ancient Thracian settlement, and the remains of buildings and other parts of the ancient city have survived to this day.

Neolithic Dwellings Museum

The Neolithic Dwellings Museum is a unique place where the remains of houses built thousands of years ago have been preserved. Archaeologists discovered them during excavations and found household items inside, including pottery, tools and other artefacts. These finds help us understand how life was organised and what the inhabitants did.

Historical Museum

The Historical Museum of Stara Zagora is a cultural and scientific centre with a rich collection of archaeological finds, documents, coins and jewellery. The exhibits tell the history of the region over thousands of years, from prehistoric settlements to the present day.

Ayazmoto Park

Ayazmoto Park is a natural landmark and a favourite place for both locals and visitors. The park covers a large area and is a true green oasis with monuments and sculptures. It is a pleasant addition to the tour, associated with nature, quiet rest and good mood.

State Opera

The Stara Zagora State Opera is a centre of musical art in Bulgaria and an interesting addition to a city tour. For decades it has hosted ballets, operas and other stage performances.
