Gurko Street in Veliko Tarnovo is a beautiful cobbled street. Many of the houses were built during the 18th and the 19th centuries. The gorgeous houses rise steeply one above the other and reflect picturesquely in the river below. The street also has an amazing view of the monument of the Assens (The Four Horsemen) and the Yantra River.

We love to wander along this street. It gives you a taste of the essence of the city. On Gurko Street you can also find Sarafkinka’s House. It was built in 1861 by a rich Turkish merchant and moneylender. This fine five-storey National Revival style house-museum has antique ceramics, metalwork, wood carvings and jewellery. It also has some fascinating exhibits about traditional costumes and bread-making. Revival-period furniture fills the upper floor, along with vintage family photos.
