A visit to the Sarafkina House, a local museum on the scenic Gurko Street, offers insight into the town’s architectural heritage and daily life from centuries past. This historic home provides a glimpse into the lifestyle of a wealthy merchant family, with its well-preserved interior and collection of period artifacts. In the afternoon, you will return to the village of Arbanasi for a second overnight stay, where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of this historic settlement.
