Overview
Cross the border for a journey into the heart of the Second Bulgarian Empire. This full-day guided tour takes you from the bustling streets of Bucharest to the dramatic cliffs of Veliko Tarnovo—the "City of Tsars"—and the fortress-like stone village of Arbanasi. Walk through the massive gates of Tsarevets Fortress, explore artisanal workshops on cobblestone lanes, and admire 17th-century frescoes, all while your guide handles the border logistics and history.
