Product Info

-What you can expect-
Discover the medieval magnificence of Bulgaria on a private guided tour of the country's old capitals, starting from Veliko Tarnovo. Your journey begins at the awe-inspiring ruins of Pliska Fortress, Bulgaria's first capital. Here, you'll find colossal stone walls and remnants of palaces that echo the might of the early Bulgarian state.

Continue to the remarkable Madara Horseman, a UNESCO World Heritage Site carved high into a limestone cliff, combining powerful symbolism with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.

Next on your itinerary is a visit to Veliki Preslav Fortress, once the cultural hub during Bulgaria’s Golden Age. Following this, you'll explore the Preslav Archaeological Museum. Here, elegant ceramics, inscriptions, and royal artefacts unveil the refinement of medieval Bulgarian society. You'll then have some free time in Preslav, which is ideal for a leisurely lunch or a relaxed stroll (please note, lunch is not included).

On your return trip, make sure to pause for photos at Aviation Park Omurtag. This adds a contemporary twist to a day dedicated to appreciating the heritage of Bulgaria’s ancient capitals.
