Veliko Tarnovo, well-known with its traditional architecture, Boris Denev State Art Gallery, Bulgaria

---

Veliko Tarnovo is situated on the northern slopes of the Balkan range, in extremely romantic location. It has every right to be considered as the most beautiful Bulgarian town. It is not possible to forget the wonderful situation of Veliko Turnovo on the three peninsulas outlined by the snake-like curves of the river Jantra. The old city is situated on three hills, Tsarevets, Trapezitsa and Sveta Gora raising amidst the meanders of the Yantra. A visit to the Boris Denev State Art Gallery allows you to combine a brief overview of Bulgarian art over the past century and a half with a delightful walk across the river to enjoy the incomparable view of the houses of Veliko Turnovo stacked up one atop the other on the opposite hill.
