Stara Zagora Travel Guide

Nice place to hang out during the day or night. Alot of seating in a not so dark & moody ambience. Sexy girls provide fine service. There are 2 bars in the location good for gatherings of alot of people. The chairs are circa 1970's style. Pictures of famous people of all areas of entertainment hang on the wall. Also some musical instruments like drums & bass. Reminds you of a small Hard Rock Cafe with a movie feel.

Dress Code: Casual

You can reach Stara Zagora by car, mini van and bus. My favorite is by bus. With the bus you can see the area and the landscapes. Also you get to travel like Bulgarians do.

You can catch a bus to Stara Zagora in many towns around Bulgaria. Most big towns have bus depots are located in the center of town. Other towns have bus stops located around town. For infomation on exact location of the bus stops it is best ask the locals. Many stops don't have any markings. Tickets are purchased at the bus station or on the bus. Prices vary depending on where on the route and destination.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Boots are best for a rainny day in Stara Zagora. I learn this first hand. The drainage system is still getting improved. There are areas still on ground instead of cement or tar. When it rains mud is spread everywhere. Some sidewalks turn into mud pools.

This church I couldn't find it on any tourist map and I know why. This poor church is bad shape and in desperate need of repair. I still it is worth time looking and taking pictures with. It sticks out in the market area between all the shops & big buildings. It is of old Bulgarian style.

Favorite thing: Stara Zagora is a city with a wide range of culinary delights with offerings ranging from traditional Bulgarian "mehana" style food at restaurants such as Ralitza (featuring a wine list with 300 selections) and Chinara, to gourmet cuisine served at establishments such as Rasputin, Volga the Dedov Hotel and Tangra Hotel Restaurants.

Chefs gladly take advantage of the cornucopia of locally grown fruits and vegetables augmented by locally produced wines. Visit the Menada Bratya Syarovi tasting room in near-by Oryahovitsa and sample their famous wines.
