Embark on a fascinating full-day journey beyond Romania’s borders with the Experience Bulgaria Tour from Bucharest. Travel in comfort as you head south toward Northern Bulgaria, crossing the majestic Danube River—the second-largest river in Europe—into a land rich with history and charm. Your adventure begins with a visit to the remarkable Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Carved directly into the cliffs of the Rusenski Lom River Valley, these ancient sanctuaries are celebrated for their stunning frescoes dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries, offering a rare glimpse into Bulgaria’s medieval spiritual art and culture.
Next, continue to Veliko Tarnovo, once the proud capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire and today one of the country’s most beautiful and historic cities. Set along the scenic Yantra River, Veliko Tarnovo enchants visitors with its medieval fortress, Tsarevets, where the ruins of the royal palace and patriarchal church tell stories of a glorious past. Wander through its cobbled streets, explore artisan workshops, and enjoy a traditional Bulgarian meal paired with local wine at a charming restaurant. The tour concludes with a visit to the peaceful village of Arbanassi, a delightful settlement known for its centuries-old architecture and authentic atmosphere. After a day filled with cultural discovery and breathtaking scenery, you’ll return comfortably to Bucharest, carrying memories of Bulgaria’s timeless beauty and heritage.
