Veliko Tarnovo is among the smaller towns in Bulgaria. However, what this beautiful city lacks in size, it makes up for with a rich and fascinating history. Veliko Tarnovo is home to numerous historical sites, including museums, orthodox churches, and one of the grandest medieval strongholds in all of Europe - the Tsaravets Fortress. When you aren’t enjoying the sights, you can also go on a quiet stroll around the Old Town, or go wine tasting at the Maryan Winery, one of the best boutique wineries in the country.
