You will explore the Tsarevets Fortress, a majestic stronghold offering panoramic views and intriguing modern artwork inside its patriarchal church. After enjoying a delicious traditional Bulgarian lunch, the tour continues to the nearby village of Arbanassi, a peaceful and picturesque place renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture and serene atmosphere.
