Reviewed By JoostG3 - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Unfortunately completely closed (even the more clandestine routes you might find online) yet still impressive to see. Route to the monument is best coming from the south (good road), yet route from the west is also very doable with a regular car, despite what other reviews say. This route also gets you past a couple of massive concrete & steel torches.

8. The Thracian tomb at Shushmanets
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 33 reviews
The temple has an entry corridor and an antechamber, a semi-cylindrical room supported by an elegant column. Four horses and two dogs were sacrificed in the antechamber. The central room is circular in shape, supported by a beautiful polished Dorian column. The tomb's columns represent Thracian beliefs about the universe and the creation myth. Archaeologist Georgi Kitov discovered the tomb in 1996

Perhaps the best deal in Bulgaria -- 3 genuine Thracian tombs for only 6 Lev. Most people go up the road to Kazanlak and wait in line for a 2-minute peek into a replica tomb. It's an accurate replica, they'll assure you, but since the original is unavailable for comparison there's no way to know -- and even if it is, it's still a replica. Here, a gentleman who speaks excellent English (he used to work at the Met in New York) will sell you tickets to view 3 real McCoys, and answer all your questions. The 3 tombs are within walking distance of each other; each has its own distinctive characteristics. The largest, Shushmanets, is the principal attraction -- the only Thracian structure found so far with Greek-style columns. There is good signage and literature in multiple languages. No lines, no waiting, and stay as long as you want. As a little bonus, there's a nice big stork's nest on the industrial chimney next door.

10. Tomb of Seuthes III
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 35 reviews
Reviewed By PlacesCases - Sofia, Bulgaria
This tomb dates back to V century B.C. There were found very interesting and valuable artefacts like the bronze head of Seuthes III, a gold wreath, other gold objects, armors of a warrior and many more. You can see all of them in the History Museum of Kazanlak. This tomb differs from the others with its bigger chamber, much longer dromos, the passage to the chamber which is considered to be used by the soul of the passed away to move to the other world, and the carved images of Medusa and Helios Gods on the doors.
