Audio Guide of Casa Daskalov

Casa Daskalov is open from May to October from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and from November to April from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closed on Mondays. It is located in the historic center of Tryavna, easily reachable on foot from the main square; check the official Tryavna website to confirm updated hours or call +359 677 711 11.

Admission costs 6 BGN (about €3) for adults and 3 BGN for children and students; retirees enter free with ID. Buy tickets at the door, with no advance reservation needed.

A typical visit lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, enough time to explore the rooms with wood carvings and traditional furniture. If you are interested in the history in detail, allow up to an hour.

Built in 1830, it is the home of master woodcarver Dimitar Daskalov, an icon of the Bulgarian National Revival representing the traditional architecture and craftsmanship of Tryavna. Today it is an ethnographic museum preserving hand-carved furniture and 19th-century artifacts.

The best time is spring or summer (May to September) because of the pleasant weather and local events; choose early morning (9:00-11:00 AM) to avoid crowds and enjoy the natural light on the wood carvings.

As a 19th-century historic house, it has narrow stairs and no elevator or full ramps, so it is not fully accessible for wheelchairs. Contact them in advance at +359 677 711 11 for limited options or adapted guided visits.

Nearby you will find the Museum of Icons and Paleontology (200 m away), the Church of the Annunciation, and the old town with its covered bridges. Explore the entire historic center in one morning; more info at tryavna.bg.

Wear comfortable shoes for the stairs, take photos freely without flash, and combine your visit with a walk through the local market to try cheeses and rakia. Download an audio guide at iaudioguia.com to enrich the experience with details in English.
