Private Day Tour: Gabrovo City Walk, Etar Crafts Village & Bozhentsi

Begin your private tour with hotel pickup in Gabrovo and explore the city on foot with your guide. Walk along the pedestrian street and discover Gabrovo’s Clock Tower, the Church of the Dormition of the Mother of God, Aprilov National High School, Municipality Square, the Theatre, and the famous Racho Kovacha monument. Along the way, learn about Gabrovo’s history, traditions, humor, and important role during Bulgaria’s National Revival.

Continue by car to the Etar Ethnographic Open-Air Museum, a living showcase of traditional Bulgarian crafts and architecture. Explore restored workshops, water-powered mills, and 19th-century houses while discovering how craftspeople worked and lived in the past.

Next, visit the peaceful Sokolski Monastery, beautifully situated in the Balkan Mountains. Admire its church, famous white-and-blue interior, and impressive stone fountain before continuing to the charming village of Bozhentsi.

Stroll through Bozhentsi’s cobbled lanes and admire its beautifully preserved Revival-era stone-and-wood houses, historic buildings, and peaceful mountain atmosphere. After exploring the village, relax on the journey back to your hotel in Gabrovo.
