A trip to Dragalevski monastery from Sofia makes for a great afternoon on a hot day. Getting there: Dragalevski monastery is easily accessible from Sofia by public transportation. Take Metro line 2, the blue line, to the Vitosha Metro station which is the last stop. Then get on bus 66 in the direction of Hotel Moreni. The bus 66 bus stop is right outside of the metro station, next to the mall. The monastery is the second to last stop but the bus only stops when requested. Get a window seat. The bus ride itself is scenic. The monastery is just a couple of minutes walk from the bus stop. To do: Visiting the monastery won't take much time but there are benches and areas to rest in the cool mountain on hot day. Around the corner from the monastery is an area with picnic benches and a food truck where you can order delicious inexpensive grilled meats, salads, and beer. A visit to the monastery from the city and a short rest there can be done in a matter of hours, less than a half day.

Hidden in the mountains, right under your nose, the monastery exists next to the urban development. Its buildings stand tall and proud, yet unseen from the main road to Aleko Hut. Even in winter, the yard, church and living quarters hold their majestic stanza. You can feel the past in the church curves, in the water dripping thru the ice - just as it did for centuries.

From the mountains I took the bus 66 from Moreni Hotel(moreni hotel is a few steps down from Aleko Hut), then I went down at Dragalevski Monastery station , the place feels like a Hobbit town, beautiful and many cute cats around, the ginger cat is really friendly and if you call him he will come to you.

there are some good places for barbeque but the people usually spending their weekends at this place are not very pleasant. really can not understand what is the point to go to the mountains and to smoke a package of cigarettes staying three hours there.

An impressive operational monastery on the beautiful slopes of mount Vitasho. You can relax in the tranquility of the surroundings and connect to forces beyond this earth 🌍. The trails beyond the monetary offer a vast array of other experience.

After a walk up from bus terminus you reach the monastery. There's a little wooden shelter to rest in. Look out for the 3 bells in the gardens. Couldn't enter main building but the small chapel us open.
