Overview

Embark on an exciting one-day trip from Sofia to the charming town of Veliko Tarnovo, the historic capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire. Visit the majestic Tsarevets Fortress, a medieval stronghold that has proudly stood since the 12th century
Your journey begins early in the morning from St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and follows a scenic road at the foot of the Balkan Mountains. An English-speaking driver-guide will comfortably take you to Veliko Tarnovo. Despite the three-hour transfer from Sofia, the breathtaking landscapes and rich history make this journey well worth it.
Upon arrival, the guide will distribute audio guides and headphones to you.
The guide will accompany you throughout the entire walking tour of Veliko Tarnovo. He will raise a sign with the number of the site, and you will enter this number into the audio guide. The audio guide will share interesting and little-known facts about these places in your preferred language.
