An 8-day journey pairing Serbia and Bulgaria — starting in Belgrade's fortresses and royal complexes, then crossing into Bulgaria for Sofia, Plovdiv, the Valley of Roses, Veliko Tarnovo, and the Belogradchik Rocks. Two nights are in Serbia (Belgrade, then Niš) at the start of the trip, before the route crosses into Bulgaria for the remaining five nights (Sofia, Plovdiv, Veliko Tarnovo, Belogradchik, and back to Sofia) — every night's hotel is confirmed in whichever country you're actually in that day.
