Get a combined ticket for all the museums. It's a lot cheaper than a single ticket and the exhibits are great. Also, consider spending the night here -- for 12 leva you get a nice room with a bath.

It is a 2 hour trip from Sofia, definitely worth the trip. The colors are splendid in the autumn. Very peaceful. Great to take a walk around the monastery, pls drink the water from the fountains.

Un lugar precioso para visitar si estás en Sofia. Se puede llegar en bus, sale a las 10.20h de la estación de bus. Vale la pena caminar por los alredeores y visitar la cueva.

Рильский монастырь-святыня Болгарии. Можно приобрести вкуснейший хлеб, который пекут при монастыре.
