Arrival and Accommodation
Kazanlak's train and bus stations are just south of the centre on the scruffy ul. Sofronii Vrachanski, from where a five-minute walk up bul. Rozova Dolina will bring you to the town's main square, pl. Sevtopolis. Here you'll find the standard high-rise three-star Hotel Kazanlak (tel 0431/27210 or 27202; US$36-60), which has comfortable ensuite rooms and a covered swimming pool. More modern accommodation is available at the family-run Vesta , at ul. Chavdar Vozhvoda 3 (tel 0431/20350 or 40039, fax 21005; US$36-60), which also offers a few apartments (US$46) with fridge and cable TV. The Hadzhi Eminova Kashta in the ethnographic complex at Nikola Petkov 22 (tel 0431/42095; US$9-18) has four traditionally furnished ensuite rooms with TV. Kazanlak's newest and plushest hotel, though, is the three-star Palas , located down a sidestreet opposite the post office at Petko Staynov 9 (tel 0431/22311 or tel & fax 22161; US$36-60). All rooms have cable TV, mini-bar and bath, and there's also a sauna, solarium and swimming pool.

If you have a car, Hotel Sveti Georgi , in the village of Enina 6km north of town (tel 0431/25725; US$18-36), has comfortable, balconied rooms, a walled garden and an outdoor pool - to get there, take the Shipka road and turn right after 2km. Of the local travel agents , Agence Pagane, ul. General Skobelev 24 (tel 0431/26900), is the best bet for tours to Stara Zagora, Shipka and the mountains, and may be able to arrange trips to rose-picking villages during the season.
