The next stage of our Bulgarian holiday was to visit the old Bulgarian capital, Veliko Tarnovo.
Veliko Tarnovo played an important part in Bulgaria’s history especially their ongoing battles against the Turks. Famous things to see in the city are the site of Bulgaria’s first university and the ruins of an ancient fortress called Tsarevets (If you ever visit, I recommend walking from the city to Tsarevets. It’s much shorter than it looks and is a beautiful walk through the old streets) .
We made a little video about our day in Veliko Tarnovo, but I think that both of us and the camera got heat stroke half way through…
