Enjoy your breakfast at the hotel before a day dedicated to Sofia’s ancient history and Bulgarian cultural heritage. At 16:00, take part in a shared Bulgarian Yoghurt Tasting Experience at the Serdica Ancient Complex, located in the heart of Sofia, along the remains of the Roman city. Surrounded by original archaeological structures, you will discover the story of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and its deep connection to Bulgarian traditions and identity. During this 60-minute experience, you will taste multiple varieties of traditional Bulgarian yoghurt, combined with artisanal toppings and local delicacies, while learning about its history, production, and cultural significance. The experience also includes drinks such as water and ayran, a traditional yoghurt-based beverage, accompanied by guided storytelling in an authentic historical setting. No transportation included, clients need to reach the place themselves (detailed information will be sent).

In the evening, immerse yourself in the spirit of Bulgaria with a memorable traditional night in Sofia, featuring an authentic dinner, live folklore performances, and the mesmerizing Nestinari fire dance. This festive experience includes a four-course menu accompanied by Bulgarian rakia and local wine, while musicians and dancers bring the country’s rich cultural traditions to life through vibrant music, colorful costumes, and interactive performances that invite guests to join the celebration. The highlight of the evening is the ancient Nestinari ritual dance (performed weather permitting), during which barefoot dancers walk across glowing embers in a powerful display of faith and tradition. Recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, this centuries-old custom originates from the Strandzha region and blends Eastern Orthodox beliefs with older pagan rituals. Combining music, dance, hospitality, and living tradition, the evening offers an unforgettable insight into the cultural soul of Bulgaria.
