Bulgaria tour from Bucharest - a day tour to visit Veliko Tarnovo, Ivanovo churches, the village Arbanasi

This Experience Bulgaria Tour from Bucharest, Romania is a small-group full-day tour to Northern Bulgaria.

After one hour of driving from Bucharest, you will cross the border to Bulgaria over the Danube river, the second largest river in Europe, and then stop at Ivanovo to visit Ivanovo Churches (UNESCO heritage since 1979). In the Valley of the Rusenski Lom River, the rock-hewn churches are famous thanks to their impressive XIII-XIVth century frescos.

The second stop will be in Veliko Tarnovo, one of the most beautiful cities in Bulgaria, on the banks of the Yantra River. Also known as the City of Tsars, Veliko boasts an impressive fortress with the ruins of the former Tsarevets Palace and the patriarchal church, nowadays with modern and intriguing paintings. The medieval atmosphere is well preserved in the city thanks to the old architecture and the narrow streets where you can admire local artisans and their work.

There are plenty of excellent restaurants in Veliko Tarnovo and we will choose one to enjoy the tasty Bulgarian food together with one of their fine wines.

The Village of Arbanasi is the next place you will visit, is located very close to the city. Arbanasi is a quiet and picturesque village, which even today keeps the medieval touch through the old architecture.

The Experience Bulgaria tour ends after returning in Romania to Bucharest.
