How to get to the city of Hisarya?
Hisarya is a city in southern Bulgaria. It is located in the Plovdiv district and is the administrative center of the Hisarya municipality.
The town of Hisarya is located in the central part of Bulgaria, under the southern slopes of Sredna Gora, 346 meters above sea level. It is located about 25 kilometers south (about 27 minutes by car) from the town of Karlovo.
The relief is shaped by the smooth transition from the slopes of Sredna Gora to the Upper Thracian plain.
The climate is transitional-continental with warm and mild winters. Snow cover lasts an average of 27 days a year. Spring is early and relatively warm, summer is characterized by high temperatures (July and August), low humidity and light winds. Autumn is sunny, warm and long. Strong and stormy winds are rare, which is very favorable for the winter season.
There are no air pollutants in the area of the city of Hisarya.
Hisarya stands at:
176 kilometers (about 2 hours and 5 minutes by car) from the capital

In Karlovo, I recommend taking a walk to the Ethnographic Complex "Old Karlovo".
It includes five houses - monuments of culture with remarkable cultural value. These are:
Each of the houses gives rise to its own unique message, which directs the guest in different directions, provokes desires and memories in him, makes him dream.
The integrity of the architectural ensemble is unique and inimitable, and every visitor could feel that great revival spirit that still roams the narrow cobbled streets of "Old Karlovo".
