Passing by Ruse you’ll reach the remote area of the Ivanovo Churches. Part of the UNESCO site since 1979, the rock-hewn churches of Ivanovo boast some stunning frescos dating back to the 13th-14th centuries. The monastic life was founded in the 13th century by the future patriarch of Bulgaria, Joachim. All these churches are located in the beautiful valley of the Rusenski Lom River.

The tour continues toward the most beautiful city of Bulgaria, Veliko Tarnovo known also as the City of the Tsars. Located on the banks of the Yantra River, Veliko Tarnovo was the capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire. It is given as one of the most strongest fortifications in the area. Even today the most impressive tourist attraction of the old town is the fortress. You’ll roam on the alleys of the former Tsarevets palace and you’ll visit the former patriarchal church, rebuilt in modern times. You’ll be taken on the old streets and alleys of the town where you’ll admire the local architecture and the beautiful panorama.

Arbanassi, located right next to Veliko Tarnovo, is a little and quaint village with a strong medieval atmosphere. You’ll enjoy a stroll and you’ll admire the beautiful houses.

In the afternoon you’ll be transferred back to Bucharest.
