Full Day Trip to Bulgaria from Bucharest

Overview

Leave Bucharest behind and discover some of Bulgaria’s most fascinating historic destinations on a full-day trip across the Danube.

Start with a short visit to Ruse, one of Bulgaria’s most elegant cities, where you will explore highlights of the Old Town, including Freedom Square and the historic Sveta Troitsa Cathedral.

Continue to the traditional village of Arbanasi, known for its distinctive architecture, old houses and picturesque atmosphere. Enjoy a short walk through the village before continuing towards Veliko Tarnovo.

Once the medieval capital of Bulgaria, Veliko Tarnovo is dramatically set among the hills surrounding the Yantra River. Explore Tsarevets Fortress with your guide and learn about its history as the center of the medieval Bulgarian capital and former seat of Bulgarian rulers.

After visiting the fortress, enjoy free time in Veliko Tarnovo to explore the historic center at your own pace, have lunch, browse local shops or simply enjoy the atmosphere of the Old Town.

At the end of the day, meet your tour host for the return journey to central Bucharest.
