You read my mind
I am going for three days as part of a TP run \ BA Holiday.
Tour is booked to Plovdiv, Vitosha will be ascended by the cable car, staying at the Hilton which is right in the middle of the main museum district and next to the theatre (although there is nothing I want to see on when I am there).
I'll book a few nice meals while I am there and bobs your uncle. (Or Uncle Bulgaria if you prefer).
