Castle Hotel, Makedonia - a hotel that looks like a castle right next to the forest. Lovely hotel, lovely staff too. Cinema bar/bistro, Makedonia - a very busy bar that serves really good pizza..amongst other food, again lovely staff. A little out door market in the town - mainly clothing sold. Bus station in centre, handy if you can understand Bulgarian. Be wary of beggars.

Lovely bulgarian town, busy market there to look around, good bus route to it from Sofia. Can also get the bus to Borovert for about 2 levs. Lovely old buildings to look at, lovely swimming area in the town for in summer and good big food shopping places. The younger people speak some form of English, but there nodding for yes and shaking for no is the other way so can get confusing. Worth a visit.

There are some beautiful and green city parks incl. a forest park. The city has a very convenient location to make trips around and also to get to the Sofia airport. There are a few well-known chain supermarkets and some good restaurants too.

I haven't been before in Samokov and as I fan of beautiful architecture I found out to see that there are A LOT of old and beautiful houses, that no longer exist in the construction styling nowadays. Unfortunately, many of them will be ruins soon and it's such a pity to see that they have left just like this to fall apart... I haven't seen so many houses on a square meter even in big and old cities like Varna or Sofia... Of course part of them that are renovated are turned into restaurants and I would strongly recommend "Kokoshkovata kashta", a luxury restaurant/hotel with gourmet food and surprisingly good prices (for the veggie stuff). Also, don't miss "Kaymakanovata kashta"!!! The best food ever!!! Always!! Amazing prices, And last but not least, "Target"- a modern style restaurant with huge diversity of international food for every taste. :)))) Mmmmmmm . If you want a quick bite - grab one pizza from the little house next to the fountain in the center. Tastyyyy. You can find everything easily - Samokov is a small town so everything is close. Oh!!! You HAVE to see the house with Darth Vader sculpture in its yard!! This is for the real fans of Star wars! :)))))

Samokov is nice option for have a rest in Borovets: it's a town with its infrastructure and not overpriced like tiny Borovets. Regular buses are going every 30 mins and it takes about 15 mins to get a place

Great eating establishments in Samakov, and we tried 3 of the top reccomendations and were not dissapointed. 1. Just round the corner from the Elisabeth Guesthouse, very convenient for Evening meal and Breakfast was Mahana Bolochev ZaVera 2. The Kokoshkova Kasta, rough translation is, ( The Hen House) which is set in a Large former Bulgarian Villa set back from Ulitsa Tzar Borris 111. magnificent setting and food ( my Personal favorite) 3. Stara Kashta, ( The Old House ) bookings are essential as we turned up for lunch and were dissapointed, then we tried to book for that evening and they were full eventually we got a booking for the next night, very good traditional bulgarian food but, no WI-FI
