      thank you for the good information!
      i would like to come to the Rose festival between the dates- 24.5 -27.5.
      I have a big interest of seeing the proses. To peak roses early in the morning to see how to make oil and rose water … and to join the festival. Do I have to order things in advance? how to do this?. maybe you can help me to join a group that will have this possibbility. I need allso some help to understand where is the best to stay because I see that some of the activities take place in different places. Is there transportation between the places? I prefer a simple room bed and breakfast or hostel .. is there a liste that i can have that will help me to choos.. thank you ..

      Tickets for the festival can be bought at the information center in Kazanlak (it is at the city center), here is contact information for it: http://www.tourism.government.bg/en/kategorii/turisticheski-informacionni-centrove/kazanlak
      All the events of the festival which happen in Kazanlak are free to enter, there are a few areas with chairs (for elderly people and guests of the municipality) please contact the information center whether you can reserve a seat there.
      My personal advice is to buy tickets for the rose-picking ritual near Kazanlak (or if you prefer, attend one of the rose-picking rituals in nearby villages).
