Overview of the tour in Samokov
Join us for an unforgettable walking tour in Samokov, a charming town nestled in the picturesque Samokov Valley, surrounded by the majestic Rila, Vitosha, and Sredna Gora mountain ranges, just 55 kilometers from Sofia. Known for its excellent winter sports conditions, Samokov, along with the nearby Borovets resort, has become a major tourist destination.
