Veliko Tarnovo

Veliko Tarnovo is the beautiful medieval capital of Bulgaria. It sits spectacularly on the steep, craggy banks of the river Yantra. Tsaravets Fortress crowns the imposing hill. Above all, it is one of Bulgaria’s little-known gems.

You should explore the attractive old town cobbled streets to see traditional Bulgarian town life preserved like a real-life museum and be sure not to miss the recently-restored Samovodska Charshiya

Veliko Tarnovo hosts a delightful combination of National Revival Style architecture intermingled with the new face of modern Bulgaria, which includes shopping malls and cinemas.

The City is famous for its Universities. So the thriving student population means there are many bars and restaurants. Consequently, each one offers excellent quality and well-priced refreshments. The students also bring a good balance to the town where the old and the young live in harmony. Veliko Tarnovo is the jewel in Bulgaria’s crown and is a must-see destination for any visitor to Bulgaria.
