About this experience
Journey back in time as you explore Veliko Tarnovo, a city sculpted across three majestic hills – Tsarevets, Trapezitsa, and Sveta Gora – that rise dramatically from the Yantra River. Imagine yourself walking where Bulgarian emperors once tread, exploring the grand Tsarevets fortress – a labyrinth of palaces, a patriarchal seat, and imposing walls whispering tales of a glorious past.
But Veliko Tarnovo is more than just a fortress city! Trapezitsa, once a haven for nobility, awaits with its captivating churches, each a testament to the city's artistic heritage. Here, the echoes of the Tarnovo Artistic School – a renowned center of medieval art – still linger.
This exclusive tour, unlike any other, offers an unparalleled opportunity to delve into the heart of Veliko Tarnovo. Your local guide, a true expert, will show you the beauty and the glory of this wonderful city.
This is Veliko Tarnovo, unveiled just for you. Choose between self-guided or privately-guided experience.
