Overview

Leave the city behind and embark on an inspiring journey into the heart of northern Bulgaria. Just a few hours from Bucharest, this day trip takes you across the border to discover the charm, history, and timeless beauty of Veliko Tarnovo and the traditional village of Arbanassi.

Your day begins with a scenic drive through the countryside, leading you to Veliko Tarnovo—once a stronghold of medieval Bulgarian royalty. Perched on steep hills and wrapped around the Yantra River, the town impresses with its unique layout and rich past. Explore the ancient stronghold of Tsarevets, where remnants of palaces, churches, and defensive walls tell stories of a glorious era.
Afterwards, enjoy a break for lunch and taste the authentic flavors of Bulgarian cuisine at a local restaurant.
