What you can expect

Cross the border into Bulgaria on this private full-day sightseeing ride and discover the charm, history, and culture of some of the country’s most beautiful destinations. Your friendly English-speaking driver will pick you up from your hotel in Bucharest and take you on a scenic journey through rolling hills and picturesque landscapes, ensuring a comfortable and memorable experience.

Your first stop is the St. Dimitrie Basarabov Monastery, a fascinating rock-hewn monastery nestled into a cliffside. Still active today, this peaceful site offers a glimpse into Bulgaria’s deep Orthodox traditions and spiritual life.

Continue to Veliko Tarnovo, the medieval capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire and one of the country’s most enchanting cities. Here, you’ll explore the mighty Tsarevets Fortress, perched high above the Yantra River, where cobblestone paths and stone walls tell stories of kings, battles, and glory. Wander the Old Town’s winding streets filled with traditional houses, artisan shops, and cafés that showcase Bulgaria’s vibrant culture.

End your journey in Arbanasi Village, a quiet gem known for its beautifully preserved 17th and 18th-century houses, richly decorated churches, and stunning views over the surrounding countryside. This village feels like stepping back in time, with its unique blend of history and authentic Bulgarian character.

At the end of your day, relax as your driver takes you back to Bucharest, carrying unforgettable memories of Bulgaria’s medieval treasures and cultural heritage.
