Tour of glorious Veliko Tarnovo and the village of Arbanassi

We start in Ruse with a panoramic tour of the city. Scenic drive for an hour and a half will bring us to Veliko Tarnovo - the medieval capital of the second Bulgarian Kingdom. We will visit the castle, where the Bulgarian Kings and aristocracy once lived. Between 12th and 14th century the Bulgarian Kingdom bordered four seas and was an Empire with a great impact on the whole then existing Europe. Visit to Samovodska - the oldest merchant street in the town, where in front of your eyes masters pursue their crafts according to old traditions. Instead of ordinary souvenir places, today we choose and buy directly from the craftsmen. After lunch in the picturesque Veliko Tarnovo, we drive to the nearby village of Arbanassi. Here we will visit a house-museum and see how the very rich Bulgarians lived three hundred years ago. We will also not miss "The Nativity" church, with its 2000 biblical frescoes. Join me on a tour over the places that may be small in size but are definitely huge in character and heritage!
