Veliko Tarnovo Private Day Trip from Bucharest

Discover the historical charm of Bulgaria with this full-day private tour from Bucharest to Veliko Tarnovo, a medieval town nestled between hills and rivers, which was the capital of the country for more than two centuries. This is an ideal trip for those who wish to leave Romania for a day and explore another nearby country in total comfort.

The day starts with pick-up from your accommodation in Bucharest and transfer by private vehicle to the south, crossing the Bulgarian border over the Danube Bridge. Along the way, your guide will tell you about the history of the region and what to expect.

Once in Bulgaria, you will arrive in Veliko Tarnovo, a town with a glorious past and architecture that reflects centuries of history. You'll stroll through its old town, where traditional Bulgarian houses line the hillsides and cobbled streets invite you to explore.

One of the highlights of the tour is the imposing fortress of Tsarevets, built on a hill and surrounded by the Yantra River. From here you will enjoy spectacular views and learn more about the strategic role this place played during the Middle Ages.

The tour may also include a visit to Arbanasi, a small nearby village famous for its historic houses and frescoed Orthodox church. You will have free time for lunch and a stroll, and then you will make your way back to Bucharest in the afternoon.

As this is a private tour, you will enjoy a more flexible experience, with the possibility to adapt the pace of the tour to your interests and receive personal attention from the guide.
