The second stop will be in Veliko Tarnovo, one of the most beautiful cities in Bulgaria, located on the banks of Yantra River. Also known as the City of Tsars, Veliko boasts an impressive fortress with the ruins of the former Tsarevets Palace and the patriarchal church, nowadays with modern and intriguing paintings. The medieval atmosphere is well kept in the city thanks to the old architecture and the narrow streets where you can admire local craftsmen and their work.

The Village of Arbanassi is the next place you will visit, located very close to the city pf Veliko Tarnovo. Arbanassi is a quiet and picturesque village which even today keeps the medieval touch through its old architecture.
