Step back in time on a full-day journey from Bucharest to Bulgaria’s medieval capital, Veliko Tarnovo. Travel through beautiful countryside as you cross the Danube River and enter a land rich in history, legends, and breathtaking scenery.
Discover Veliko Tarnovo, once the proud capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire, dramatically perched on three hills and wrapped by the winding Yantra River. Stroll along its charming cobblestone streets lined with artisan workshops, traditional houses, and stunning viewpoints.
Explore the magnificent Tsarevets Fortress, the former residence of Bulgarian tsars and nobles. Walk along the ancient walls, visit the reconstructed Patriarchal Cathedral, and enjoy panoramic views over the old town.
Continue your adventure with a stop at the Hotnitsa Waterfall, one of northern Bulgaria’s hidden natural gems. Admire the spectacular 30-meter cascade as it plunges into a turquoise pool, and follow the scenic wooden path for magical views surrounded by lush greenery.
End the day with a visit to the St. Dimitrie Basarabov Monastery, a peaceful rock-hewn sanctuary nestled in the foothills of the Balkan Mountains. Discover its serene atmosphere and learn about its deep connection to Romanian history and spirituality.
