1. Blue Mountain Chairlift
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 39 reviews
Reviewed By EricaandPhil019 - Bodrum
This ride to the mountain-top is wonderful. The chair-lift is wuite old but looking at it carefully it is actually in good order and is shut down weekly for checking, I understand. The ride is actually at low-level, following the slope of the mountain and after initial trepidation you soon relax and enjoy the almost total silence and the amazing views.
Be prepared for a temperature perhaps 10 degrees lower than in Sliven and maybe a breeze. Lovely walks at the top. Toilets, but unfortunately no food or drink unless you walk some 30 minutes to the hotel up there, which is not open out of season.. Ideal for a walk in the lovely grassed areas and woods and a picnic and peace and quiet and the views all round.
A memorable experience!

What matters most in life are memories. Memories you built with your dearest ones, in unforgettable places. And one place I return often to create more and more memories is Bulgaria. This wonderful country and its people doesn't stop surprising me with new stuff every time.
This year we ( me and bff) wanted to try something new so we decided for a boat trip. Google-ing, I found Hristo and his trips from Balchik. Our choice was the 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. YACHT PICNIC. And we couldn't have chosen better. The trip was wonderful. The price-quality ratio was more than fair, very nice staff, good food, drinks as much as you can have, everything with magnificent views and panoramas. We had lunch on a quiet beach, we did some snorkeling, got tanned and had fun!
I definitely recommend this guys!!!

4. The Old Elm

The Old Elm in Sliven is the European Tree of the Year 2014. It's more than 1100 years old but still blossoming every year. It's one of the symbols of the town of Sliven.
Reviewed By Nik R - Varna, Bulgaria
The Old Elm is a landmark in Sliven. It is at one of the ends of the central Promenade downtown, so it can't be missed. Huge tree, more than 1000 years old! It's commendable that the local people take so much care of that tree - a tiny garden with a few flower beds circle the giant.

It was quite expensive. Had lots of different rides. Didn`t like the fact you could not take your own food and drink in and your bags were searched on arrival.

Reviewed By Nik R - Varna, Bulgaria
Beautiful monument in Sliven's downtown area, dedicated to one of the Bulgaria's greatest fighters for freedom who was born in the town. On the four sides of the wall surrounding the main monument are bassreliefs of other prominent persons of the Bulgarian National Revival who were born in Sliven too. It's worth a visit and a flower!

If you are a nature lover who likes walking in the mountain, this is the perfect destination. It's not far from town. You can go there by foot or with a car. It is a 30 minute walk trough the forest.
There is a famous legend of that place that says: whoever passes trough "Halkata" will change his sex.

10. Sveti Dimitar church
Overall Ratings
5 based on 2 reviews
This is the largest Christian temple in the town of Sliven.
Reviewed By Mariya K - Sofia, Bulgaria
This is very interesting church from the Bulgarian National Revival period build in 1831. The building is partially dug into the ground, because under Ottoman rule it was forbidden a church to be higher than a rider on a horseback and to have bell tower.
There was an older church on this site, but unfortunatelly it was destroyed in a fire around 1815.
Now the church is fully restored and its frescoes and iconostasis, made by prominent masters in the first half of 19 century, are of great artistic value.
