Overview

Cross into Bulgaria on this private full-day ride to discover history, culture, and medieval charm. With hotel pickup in Bucharest, your English-speaking driver takes you through scenic landscapes for a comfortable journey.

Your first stop is St. Dimitrie Basarabov Monastery, a rock-hewn sanctuary built into a cliffside, still active and rich in Orthodox tradition. Next, explore Veliko Tarnovo, the medieval capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire. Walk through the mighty Tsarevets Fortress, perched above the Yantra River, and wander the Old Town’s cobbled streets lined with artisan shops, cafés, and historic houses.

The day ends in Arbanasi Village, famed for its 17th–18th century houses, ornate churches, and panoramic views over the countryside. This peaceful village preserves the essence of Bulgaria’s past.

Relax on your return to Bucharest with lasting memories of Bulgaria’s cultural treasures.
