Get ready to step into one of Bulgaria’s most surreal natural wonders. Prohodna Cave, famously known as the "Eyes of God," is more than just a cave—it’s a dramatic, open-air rock bridge that feels like a portal to another world.
We’ll make a quick stop at the iconic Shipka Monument, perched high on a mountain peak. It’s a powerful spot to soak in some incredible history and snap photos of the sweeping mountain views. It’s the perfect, scenic break to stretch your legs before we continue our journey to Buzludzha.

About Sofia
Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, lies below Vitosha mountain, mixing Roman ruins, golden-domed churches, mineral springs and a busy café culture.
Sofia sits in a high basin at the foot of Mount Vitosha, and its centre layers Roman Serdica, Orthodox Bulgaria and the Ottoman and Soviet eras. The gold-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, completed in the early twentieth century, is the city's best-known building. Close by are the fourth-century rotunda of St George, the Banya Bashi Mosque and the remains of Roman streets that show through glass in the metro stations.
Top-ranked sights in Sofia: Rila Monastery, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Ivan Vazov National Theatre.
