  1. Creators of the Bulgarian State Monument

    This massive, Soviet-era hilltop Creators of the Bulgarian State Monument was built in 1981 to commemorate the First Bulgarian Empire's 1300th anniversary. To get here on foot, climb the staircase behind the History Museum. The 3km path leads from the equally Communist Partisan's Monument. The circuitous 5km road going there starts along ul Sv Karel Shkorpil at the History Museum. Go by taxi (3.50 lv one-way), and then just walk back down the steps leading to the city centre.
