Veliko Tarnovo, or City of the Tsars, is one of the most visited areas of Bulgaria and is known as the capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire. It has everything that a tourist needs: a touch of history, a touch of art, and a lot of entertainment for all ages and tastes.

The monastery, Bulgarian-Orthodox, was founded in the Second Bulgarian Empire.

Our next stop is at the famous city of Veliko Tarnovo, a place with a history of more than 5000 years. The focus point of this experience is the Tsaravets Palace.

The palace is surrounded by a fortified wall reaching 3,6 meters and has three gates, a throne room, a palace church, and a royal residential part.

After we finish visiting this marvelous place, we’ll get lost among the old streets of the city, and we’ll have our traditional lunch.
