Why Koprivshtitsa matters
Koprivshtitsa is a village that looks like a living museum. Cobbled lanes, stone bridges and brightly painted National Revival houses fill the valley. It also holds a place in Bulgarian history as the starting point of the April Uprising against Ottoman rule in 1876. It's a lovely day trip from Sofia.
