A twelve-hour exploration commences early in the morning, beginning at your accommodation in Bucharest and concluding with a departure to the foothills of the Balkan Mountains. Upon arrival, one embarks on a delightful journey through the enchanting medieval settlement of Veliko Tarnovo.

Veliko Tarnovo served as the medieval capital of Bulgaria, marking its significance during the Middle Ages. It is home to the Tsaravets Fortress, the most formidable Bulgarian fortification of that era.

The itinerary features two notable sites: the St. Dimitrie Basarabov Monastery, which stands out for being the sole monastery in Bulgaria located within a cliff and currently inhabited; and Arbanasi Village, renowned for its authentic medieval architecture, allowing visitors to relive history from the distant past.
