Why You Should Visit Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria

You wanna know what are the top attractions to visit in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria? This video is for you!

Veliko Tarnovo is one of Bulgaria’s most picturesque cities, and it’s on many tourists’ “must visit” list of places to see in Bulgaria for a reason.

Veliko Tarnovo is located on the beautiful Yantra river, which forms a horseshoe around the city.

The city is built on three hills, the tallest of which is called Tsarevets and is home to a massive historic fortress.

Its unique architecture, Old World charm, and status as the former capital of the Bulgarian Empire are just a few of the many reasons Veliko Tarnovo is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Bulgaria.

It’s possible to visit Veliko Tarnovo as a day trip from Sofia, but it would be a very long day with much of your day in transport.

From Sofia to Veliko Tarnovo, it’s 220 kilometers to the east or about 3 hours by car. So I recommend giving it at least an overnight visit.

If you don't know when to visit the city, consider its extremely hot summers and freezing winters. Therefore spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit.

Whether you opt for just a day trip or choose to stay for several nights, here are a few of our favorite things to do in Veliko Tarnovo.
