About this activity

This luxury is one of the standout things to do in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria. Rated 3.7/5 by 3 travellers, it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €139 per person. Explore Veliko Tarnovo on foot during this half-day guided walking tour. Learn about the area's history and culture through guided commentary as you travel; you'll discover much more about the city than you would simply exploring on your own.

The old city is situated on three hills, Tsarevets, Trapezitsa and Sveta Gora raising amidst the meanders of the Yantra. Tsarevets housed the palaces of the Bulgarian Emperors and the Patriarchate, as well as a number of administrative and residential edifices surrounded by thick walls. 

Trapezitsa was known for its many churches and as the main residence of the nobility. In the Middle Ages, it was among the main European centres of culture and gave its name to the Tarnovo Artistic School of architecture, painting and literature.

That's the most complete walking tour of Veliko Tarnovo with a private local guide at the fraction of the cost. Fully customizable by the preferences of the traveller.
