Lesser-Known Destinations: Veliko Tarnovo | Bulgaria’s Medieval Hill Town #Shorts
From the coast, we travel inland to Veliko Tarnovo, once the capital of the second Bulgarian Empire. Imagine a medieval city spilling across steep hills with stone houses stacked above the Yantra River like amphitheater seats. At the heart of it all lies Saraveet’s Fortress, a grand stronghold that glows beautifully at night when illuminated. The town has an almost theatrical backdrop, but what makes it special is its vibrant atmosphere. Tarnovo is also a university city and the student population keeps it lively with affordable bars, quirky cafes, and cultural events. For just a few euros, you can enjoy hearty Bulgarian food. Think bonita pastries, grilled meats, and shopska salad. History buffs, budget travelers, and anyone craving an authentic experience away from the capital will find Tarnovo both enchanting and affordable.
