Bus Hire in Sliven, Bulgaria

Locals call Sliven the windy city, and the nickname holds up: strong, near-constant gusts funnel down from the blue-tinged limestone cliffs of the Balkan foothills that rise directly behind the city, the Sinite Kamani or Blue Rocks that give the surrounding nature park its name. A cable car climbs from the edge of town straight up into the park, a quick way to reach hiking trails and viewpoints without a long approach on foot.

The city also carries a strong revolutionary streak in its history. Hadzhi Dimitar, one of the most celebrated figures in Bulgaria's 19th century struggle against Ottoman rule, was born here, and a museum complex in his childhood home preserves artefacts from the independence movement he died fighting for at just 28.
