Things to Do in Gabrovo

Gabrovo is home to the Museum of Humour and Satire, the world's only museum dedicated entirely to comic art and wit.

The city sits in the Yantra River Valley in central Bulgaria and has been a centre of craftsmanship and traditional trades since the 18th century.

Gabrovo hosts the International Biennial of Humour and Satire, attracting artists and comedians from across the globe since 1964.

The town was historically famous for its furriers and tailors, earning it the nickname 'the Manchester of Bulgaria' during the Industrial Revolution.

Gabrovo's narrow cobbled Old Town (Varosha) features well-preserved National Revival architecture with hand-painted wooden ceilings and traditional workshops.
