The price isn’t fixed but should be somewhere around 5 to 7 leva per person. If you have trouble getting a bus to Sapareva Banya, you may just want to splurge on a taxi to get you the rest of the way there. A taxi to the chairlift which marks the starting point of the 7 Lakes hike should cost around 30 leva and take 45 minutes. You’ll want to tell the driver to take you to Pionerska Hut. The bus to Dupnitsa takes about one hour and then the bus to Sapareva Banya is another half hour or so.

While cruising at an average speed of seven knots, passengers dine on island-inspired fare while enjoying the Caribbean sounds of Spirit Sounds DJ. The Spirit of Ethan Allen III features three, climate-controlled decks.

To read about the types of cruises we offer, check out the Your Experience page. I’ve been a happy customer of theirs for almost three years, and I’ve never had an issue when making a claim. It took me about 75 minutes to reach the Kidney, accounting for plenty of photo (and breath-catching) stops. On the hike you pass the Lower Lake, Fish Lake, Trefoil Lake, and Twin Lake, ticking off five of the seven Rila Lakes quite easily. To get there, take the city streets to the A3, then take Route 1.
For an unforgettable experience, just add water!
While every person is different, these costs are an average of past travelers in each destination. What follows is a categorical breakdown of travel costs for Sofia and Budapest in more detail. There are seven main lakes (shocking, right?) that can be visited in an easy circuit that takes about 3 to 5 hours. The first one, uncreatively called the “Lower Lake,” is the first of the seven Rila Lakes you’ll encounter on your hike, right by the drop-off point for the chairlift.
It’s at 2,095 meters high, which for my fellow Americans out there is about 6,873 feet. You need to be covered in case you have an accident or fall victim to theft. Travel insurance will help you recover your expenses and continue to enjoy your trip. Men, try these Keen Targhee hiking boots which are highly reviewed – my friend Megan uses a women’s pair of Keens as her main hiking boots and loves them. Another option is a tour that’s a little pricier, but combines the lakes and Rila Monastery; however, it is only available certain days of the week, so check availability here.
A look at their website and a quick email to Julia would be worth while. Undoubtedly the best treatment we have ever received on any tour, anywhere. Kayak helps you find the best prices for hotels, flights, and rental cars for destinations around the world. Compare prices for multiple destinations when planning your next trip. Finally, on the day of the hike, be sure to pack plenty of water as well as snacks to keep your energy up.
Which place is cheaper, Budapest or Sofia?
Exit onto Route 62, then take 6204 then 6206 to get to the chairlift. You can put Hizha Pionerska as your final stop on Google Maps for straightforward directions. The Tear is at a height of 2,535 meters or 8,317 feet, meaning you only gain about 500 meters of altitude during the hike, but it still manages to feel like quite a challenge nonetheless. If you liked the area and decide to spend a couple of nights, then we recommend you to check these places to stay.
I recommend keeping the Cyrillic saved in your phone as most of the signage at the bus station is written in Bulgarian and is not transliterated to Roman letters. First, to go from Sofia to the 7 Rila Lakes, you’ll want to start at the Central Bus Station. From there, you can catch a bus to Dupnitsa (written Дупница in Cyrillic) and then a minibus or public bus to Sapareva Banya (written Сапарева баня). I’m not sure how to book this in advance, but I do know the name is Chalet Seven Lakes.
It’s kind of hard to go from Rila Monastery to Rila Lakes without a tour, even with a rental car, so tours are better if you want to do both. All of these beautiful glacial lakes and a sweeping panoramic view are easily accessible on a day trip from Bulgaria’s capital city, Sofia. In Cairns, we did the included excursion and had a hopeless guide, so our review would not have been favourable.
If you’re trying to get to the Rila Lakes from Sofia by public transportation, here’s how you do it. Imagine a series of seven glacial lakes in ombré shades of blues and greens, each distinct in their shape and color. Turning on your heel, you have a panorama of all 7 Rila Lakes, Bulgaria’s beautiful gem, below you. You can look through the Viking Reviews link at the top of this forum.
Originally from California, Allison has been living in Bulgaria for the last two years and is obsessed with traveling around the Balkans. She has been published in National Geographic, CNN Arabic, Matador Network, and the Huffington Post. She loves befriending dogs, drinking coffee, geeking out about wine, and cooking food from around the world.
This is one of the things that keeps us spending what travel funds we have with Viking. Officials are holding a commissioning ceremony for the cruise boat on Sunday, Aug. 27, and said they hope to begin offering public tours the week of Sept. 18. Enjoy a relaxing summer evening aboard the Carillon tour boat. Let stories of armed schooners to Prohibition-era rum runners fire your imagination during your trip on Lake Champlain in this 1920s-style vessel.
