What you can expect

Begin with a convenient pickup from central meeting points in Bucharest. Then, enjoy a scenic drive to the foothills of the Balkan Mountains. Once you cross the Bulgarian border, delve deeper into Bulgarian religion and culture with a stop at either the Holy Trinity Cathedral Church in the quaint Old Town of Ruse or the unique St. Basarabov Monastery, the only monastery in Bulgaria carved into a cliff, depending on the activity day.

Next, visit the charming city of Veliko Tarnovo, the historic capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire. Visit the majestic Tsarevets Fortress, a medieval stronghold that has stood proudly since the 12th century.

No Bulgarian day trip from Bucharest is complete without visiting Arbanasi Village. Nestled on a high plateau between Veliko Tarnovo and Gorna Oryahovitsa, Arbanasi offers spectacular views and stunning examples of medieval architecture dating back several centuries.
