Don't miss out on this hidden gem. needs around 1 and a half hour to get around. the cathedral is a must-see with amazing wall paintings. also visit the vigilance tower to get a real-life feeling of castle warfare. Unfortunately, the elevator to the top of the bells was out of order.

Beautiful! Stunning scenery surrounding the Fortress. So much history within. Can be quite a hike but the view is definitely worth it. Shame we didn't stay for the light show in the evening. Even has toilets dotted around which is very handy.

It's a must visit place in Veliko Tarnovo. There is an entrance fee but for a family it is around 8 euros, as I remember. It has great views of the city and surrounded mountains. At the top, there is a church and it's a bit steep to walk. Keep enough water on a sunny day. A lot of shops near the entrance to buy souvenirs.

If you wish to get some more insights I. The Bulgarien history, the fortress is what you want to visit. The distributed sound system offers useful details, the whole area has shady spots to enjoy and relax. Don't miss the impressive Church at the top!

It's worth the walk, the few hours, and the non-expensive ticket price to visit and explore the vestiges of the medieval fortress. As visitor, you will be mostly on your own, because there are no guides and no information in English or other international language. The museum on top is intriguingly painted (but kind of kitchy?). The view from above if amazing. During the summer days, use sun protection and hat. Take some water with you, or some leva if you want to buy it from the vending machines.
