The Seven Rila Lakes are just 90 minutesaway from the capital, which makes them a great day trip in nature.

In the afternoon you will also travel to the famous Rila Monastery, UNESCO heritage sight, where you can admire its amazing frescoes and architecture. The tour in the monastery is about 1 hours.
