What you can expect

Discover a fascinating blend of naval history, traditional craftsmanship, and ancient heritage on a full-day tour from Veliko Tarnovo to the Bulgarian Black Sea region.

Your journey begins with a visit to the Slava Submarine Museum, home to Bulgaria’s only preserved submarine. Step inside this impressive Cold War–era vessel and explore its narrow corridors, control rooms, and living quarters while learning about the daily life of submariners and the role of the Bulgarian Navy in the 20th century.

Next, continue to the Glass Museum, where you can observe skilled artisans demonstrating traditional glassblowing techniques. Learn how delicate glass objects are shaped from molten material, explore exhibitions of handcrafted pieces, and enjoy the opportunity to purchase unique souvenirs created on site.

The tour also includes an optional visit to the ancient Provadia Saltworks during the summer season. This remarkable archaeological site is considered one of the oldest salt production centers in Europe, dating back thousands of years. Discover how salt was once more valuable than gold and played a key role in the development of early civilisations in the region.

Throughout the day, enjoy scenic countryside views and guided commentary that brings Bulgaria’s maritime, cultural, and prehistoric heritage to life. This tour offers a unique combination of military history, artisan tradition, and ancient archaeology, making it a memorable and diverse travel experience.
