Edel's Guidebook

There's no shortage of restaurants as you stroll around Hisarya, but our favourite places are as follows: For treating yourself with delicious food in a beautiful setting, The National Restaurant on Gen Gurko Street, is only 5 minutes walk from the house. Its our favourite place to eat in Hisarya, and lots of people seem to agree with us! Staff are friendly and the food is special. Hotel Chinar, just beside the National Restaurant, has comfortable seats outside, and we often take a morning cappuccino here while we watch the world go by. It has a summer restaurant in a courtyard within too. Just beside Chinar is the "Writers" cafe they have lovely staff, a garden for good weather and serve tasty snack meals and cakes. For a quick & tasty lunch (or take-out), Viki's, just off Gen. Gurko is an inexpensive self-service spot with some outdoor seating. For the best authentic pizza, Toscana, on Gen. Gurko (you see the theme here? 😊) All these restaurants are a very short walk away. Finally, for a drink and snack in a relaxing location, Central Park cafe, in the old town - about 10 mins walk. But to be honest, there are so much many delightful spots, you will never be short of choice, so don't be afraid to try them all!

Hisarya is famous for its healing waters, and is the perfect place to de-stress and heal from a busy life style. While we're here, we like strolling through the parks listening to bird-song, just breathing the pure air while planning our next meal. You can check out the remains of the Roman baths, visit the Roman tomb outside the walls, or dive into the history at the Archaeological Museum in town. We like to go for longer walks in the foothills of the Sredna Gora Mountains at the outskirts of town, or visit the Orthodox church of St Panteleimon in the very middle of town, to see the devil frescoes inside - and then go for a swim or massage in the spas. There are two nightclubs in the town, one in the Hisar Hotel. Most people come here for wellness, not nightlife....but restaurants and bars will usually stay open late. If you need more excitement, here are a few places within very easy reach.
