Journey from the modern streets of Sofia back to the 12th century with an excursion to Veliko Tarnovo, the legendary City of the Tsars. The massive Tsarevets Fortress and its patriarch’s cathedral serve as the primary focus, and your guide helps to decipher the layers of royal history etched into the cliffside. You might wander the artisan stalls of the Samovodska Charshiya market or explore the nearby village of Arbanasi, while your transport between these historic landmarks is fully coordinated. The trips offer a perfect crash course in the Second Bulgarian Empire, often ending with a sunset view over the Yantra River's deep limestone gorges.
