Description

Experience Culture and Traditions in the Bulgarian Rose Valley

Experience the magic of Bulgaria’s Rose Festival, beginning with the traditional rose-picking ritual in the fragrant fields.

Folklore ensembles and locals in colorful costumes show authentic harvesting while guests are welcomed with festive bread, roses and geranium. The new Rose Queen receives her crown and invites everyone to join the joyful horo dance. By picking petals, you also contribute to creating Bulgaria’s “liquid gold” rose oil.

Explore the production of rose water, taste rose treats, and enjoy highlights such as Koprivshtitsa, Rila Monastery, Plovdiv, the Thracian Tomb in Kazanlak,  and Sofia.
