The road up to Bachkovo monastery is lined with stalls selling everything from souvenirs to 'Hello Kitty' vests, Chelsea football scarves and luridly-coloured garden gnomes. You can also stop for a drink at one of the many refreshment stalls.
Of more interest to tourists are the stalls which sell local wood-carving, dried herbs, honey and rose-petal jam.
What to buy: Honey, rose petal jam, carved wooden items, dried herbs.
