terrycowan Says: This is one of the best monasteries to visit. The frescos on the outside of the church really get your attention. The inside of the church is well-done, as well. Seems to be an active, working parish.
peter_dimov Says: If you are interested how people in and around Troyan have lived in the past, you should go out of the town in the nearby villages where people still have way of living similar to their traditions. There you will see how they make their own food - because here they have all...

Pub&bar ONE: Irish taste in Troyan
peter_dimov Says: This bar is a fine place for tasting local and foreign foods and drinks with live music and pleasant surroundings. I still haven't been there but one of the most special things you can order in it is the Irish whisky. There also you can taste the local plum rakia.
Helpfulness
Troyan has good transport links and it's easy to get there by your car or by bus, which goes 5-6 times a day from Sofia and also from Pleven, Lovech, Gabrovo and Sevlievo. The only problem is that because Troyan is right on the foot of Stara planina (Balkan Mts.) it can be reached all-year only from north. That's why travelers should first cross the mountain range which is most comfortable on A2 highway (E83) from Sofia to Yablanitsa. Then the trip continues on highway 4 and then on highway 35 which provides comfortable and fast traveling. From South Bulgaria (Plovdiv, Khaskovo) travellers should use one of the open roads through Stara planina and then get to Troyan.
The bus thicket is around 7-9 leva from Sofia ($ 5-6).

The nmarket is situated on the main street and it is easily accesable by everybody. They sell mainly frutes and vegitables on really reasonable prices. You can also buy some food and drinks from the little stores nearby. There are also 2 little restaurants but they didn't seemed to be good ones.

peter_dimov Says: Troyan has centuries of traditions in crafts such as pottery. Nowadays this craft is well saved by local craftsmen who continue to make various kinds of pottery. In different places like Markovi kashti you can see men creating these peaces of art.
peter_dimov Says: As well as the pottery, in Troyan there are craftsmen who make many decorative things of wood. You can buy yourself beautiful things from the permanent and temporary markets for pottery and wooden things. Many of the things are specially designed for foreign tourists.
Check the weather and the rodes
mirchica Says: If you decide to visit Troyan from South Bulgaria in the winter you have definitely check the rode situation. The closest pass from Plovdiv,Karlovo,Smolyan is Beklemeto. Unfortunately usually it is closed in the winter. Even if it is not closed I recommend going through...
Careful with the snow in winter!
peter_dimov Says: As being close to Stara planina, the whole Troyan region is rather snowy in winter which makes the transportation difficult. Car-travelling without tire-chains is not recommended.
peter_dimov Says: This is a great opportunity to see the picturesque nature in this area. According to the weather and the season...
peter_dimov Says: Beklemeto is the local place available for skiing. To be honest, it needs big reconstrustions and modernizations before it becomes one of the main ski resorts in Bulgaria. Nothing else than common ski equipment.
mirchica Says: Here is some info for the info center:Opening hours : Monday - Friday, 10.00 to 18.00It's easy to find - on the main street.
