Discover why Veliko Tarnovo was named one of the most beautiful cities built on a hill on this full-day tour from Sofia. In a small group of no more than eight, explore the medieval capital and its fortress which, proudly standing on the banks of the Yantra river, dominates the landscape to this day. Also, soak up the atmosphere and admire the 17th-century frescoes and iconostases of the nearby village of Arbanassi.
