Bulgaria · DRINKING TOURS
The good bar crawls here go early in the week and the great ones go first. Below: 3 to book ahead, what each includes and where they differ.
Start at Crystal Garden at 9 pm for a 4 to 5-hour crawl through about five Sofia bars and clubs. You get a beer or wine, rakia, welcome shots, and free entry. Guides such as Damien, Mirela, Afrodita, and Jan lead the evening, which suits social solo visitors and small groups.
“Super fun night and well organised. Recommend this to anyone wanting to see some hidden gems and meet new people.”
Meet your English-speaking guide at Sofia City Court at 8:30 pm for a four-hour walk through three bars, Bulgarian drinking games, welcome shots, and free entry to a nightclub. Guides such as Alex and Melanie have led the evening, which usually ends at SugarClub. Bring ID and dress for a club.

Travel from Sofia to Plovdiv in an air-conditioned vehicle with a professional guide. Walk through the Old Town and Roman ruins, visit Kamenitsa Brewery, taste six Bulgarian craft beers, and enjoy free time in Kapana. Lunch is at your own cost, and groups are limited to 18 people.
“The tour was so much fun and I really enjoyed trying local food and beer. I learned a lot too on the drive there and and back and had great company. I would highly recommend this to anyone!”
Pick a mountain, a monastery or a table.
